[vox] Portable MP3 Player Recommendations?

[MB]

I have a player that uses compact flash memory that I can just use any 
old usb/pcmcia adapter to get my mp3s on and off the flash.  I have not 
tried plugging the player into a linux box, but in windows it does not 
need any drivers, and acts/looks like a  hard drive.  I would expect 
linux to do the same, but...

I would like to note as well that some mp3 players have their mp3's 
specially encoded by that player's software on the windows/linux box.  I 
am not sure if rio is one of those.

p.s. The player I have from http://www.frontierlabs.com/
