I have an old iPod Touch 1st Gen that I really still use quite a bit

and from it. I'm not willing to install Windows in any form be it a VM
or the like, So I'm going to get a new MP3 player and just use the Touch
like a handheld for email and podcasts I can stream online.

Can anyone recommend a good, cheap 8gb MP3 player that will work with
Fedora? If possible, I'd like something that simply shows up as a flash
drive or something instead of having the need to install libraries and
other programs to access it.

I'm in a similar but manageable predicament: I have two portable media devices - a 30GB Creative Zen:M from ~2006, and a ZEN X-Fi3 (currently available). The former requires utilities to move media/data to/from the device; in the linux world gnomad works very well. In the latter case, the device mounts like a flash drive, and has a bay for an sd card, which when used shows up as a separate mount point.

I would think that for older Apple-related devices there would still be linux utilities that allow you to transfer and adjust media on those devices, no?


Thanks!
