If you value ogg compatibility, I suggest http://www.jetaudio.com/ |

I own a M3, it was 30 dollars cheaper than the equivalent iPod (in |
| 21 |
terms of storage size) when I bought it, and has served me well. |

the JetAudio/iAudio also has a considerable linux userbase, AFAIK, |
| 24 |
(almost) all their products can be mounted as USB mass storage |
| 25 |
devices, and firmware upgrades requires copying a file to the right |
| 26 |
directory on the device. They also have nice user forums, where the |
| 27 |
company would post instructions (like a miniHOWTO for updating |
| 28 |
firmware using linux and such). |

I just got a physical and asked, "Well Doc, how do I stand?" |
