Hey all,

I'm broke so I'm not asking for myself, but a friend of mine (Jacob Greig, 
used to be on TFUG before he got a great job and moved away, so I'm sure 
some of you know him) was asking about what MP3 players work well under 
Linux. I didn't know, so I thought I'd ask here.

What he wants is:
	* MP3 Player with reasonable size storage (pref. hard drive ala
	iPod or that Gateway one)
	* Acts as a USB/Firewire mounted drive under Linux (so he can
	drop MP3 files in there, or anything else he may want to
	back up)
	* Plays music reasonably well (I've heard rumblings about the
	recent offerings from Dell that don't sound too good)
	* OGG support would also be a big plus.

So, anyone here know anything about it?
