Hello. What would be an economical and Linux-friendly
portable
music player?
Depends what 'economical' means. I recently bought a iRiver T30 1 GB
for some $110 USD. It can play ogg files. Works with Linux, using
gphoto (libgphoto2). Copy voice files from it (has a recorder built-in,
nice feature to make your boss remember things he said) and put ogg (and
mp3) files in it. Sound is nice.
With Linux I use gphoto (libgphoto2) as root to access files. Could be
simpler I guess, but I'm lazy, so I copy/paste commands. One of these
days I'll make a userland Perl interface.
Cheers,
