The best chance you'll get an answer is probably from the Cowon |

My guess for the DRM: it supports playback of files with Windows Media |
| 18 |
DRM (which, AFAIK, cannot be played on linux.) I don't know what the |

Media Transfor Protocol is. |

The Cowon iAudio in general has very good history that they can be |
| 22 |
used as just a removable USB disk with the VFAT driver. |
