Hi all,
Posted this over on alt.music.mp3.hardware but thought there may be some
people in here with advice too.
I'm currently using an oldish 40 Gig iPod in my car, running Rockbox. This
is almost full now, and getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm on the
lookout for a suitable replacement.
Basic requirements:
1. Must just appear under Linux as a standard USB storage device, so I can
just use rsync to copy my music across.
2. Ideally should support FLAC and OGG (Ogg is more important, as that's
what I've convered my FLACs to for listening in the car). However, if I have
to re-convert to MP3 then that's not a major issue.
3. Must have a 'line out' jack so that I can connect it to my car stereo.
4. Must have a car charger available.
5. Must have a capacity of at least 60 Gig (I realise this puts me into hard
disk based players).
6. Ideally will support browsing both through the filesystem to pick up
files that way, *and* via some form of tags database if I wanted to choose
music that way.
