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.
Just curious, why do you need to mess with libgphoto2 in order to access your
T30? I have a 1Gb T20 and it presents as a USB mas-storage device. On my
system:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mnt/{mountpoint}
and it's accessible just like an ordinary disk partition (yes, /dev/sdc is
correct for me btw - it's not a typo, it requires no partition number). I
would have expected a T30 to work the same way...
