It's not a Linux based player, but I've had really good luck getting my Creative Zen X-Fi talking to my Linux box, and transferring music files via Amarok. I also like Amarok for managing podcasts, though I think older versions are better than the newest ones.<br>

I seem to recall a couple of years ago that there was a discussion here about<br>
Linux devices that were similar to IPods. I didn't pay attention to it<br>
because I don't like walking around with ear phones.<br>
<br>
But I've recently jointed the Woodland YMCA gym, and when I'm on the exercise<br>
machines I don't like the music played over the load speaker. I'm thinking<br>
about getting an IPod-like device and maybe listening to podcasts or<br>
something.<br>
<br>
I don't like the fact that (the last time I checked) you couldn't download<br>
from ITunes on Linux because they wouldn't give you Linux software. I know a<br>
lot of Linux users like Apple, but I think Apple sometimes cooperates with<br>
Microsoft to suppress Linux. So is that a non-Apple Linux device that's like<br>
an IPod?<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
