Hello:
Players from MPIO seem to be Linux-friendly. Some, like my FY 600 and the
HD 400 also support Ogg format. Both of these models appear as USB drives
when connected to your computer.
cheers,
ernst

Hello. What would be an economical and Linux-friendly portable
music player?
Best would be if the player would be seen as a USB disk.
That is: mount /mnt/player ; cp songs/* /mnt/player/ ; umount /mnt/player
Such a player would work in Linux naturally. Also, in Windows, that way
I could download music from the web without installing a downloading
software/driver. And yes, I cannot install anything because I don't own
the Windows computers here.
Does, e.g., Creative, Philips, ipod players require a downloading
software to be installed, and therefore they work only in personal
Windows? I have heard that one may copy songs to their players via
USB disk but the players refuses to play the songs!
What about ogg format? All players sold by local shops seem to support
only mp3 and wma.
