I used to use a Sansa Clip and really like it. It is a straightforward |
| 22 |
USB mass storage device so you can copy file with your favourite GUI or |

plain old rsync. It also plays Ogg Vorbis as well as MP3. |

The only reason I stopped using it is that I now use my phone to listen |

to music. |
