As I am thinking of buying one and don't want to waste my money on one 
that won't work in linux. Does anyone know which portable MP3 & MD 
players work in mandrake?  

There seems to be a lack of information about which ones work.  As far 
as I can find not many r compatible.  

I was thinking of maybe a Sony MD player (MZN707S) or Iriver MP3 (IFP-180).

As far as I can find out none of the recent models work as they need 
specific drivers built into the kernel for the device which are not 
available yet.  In other words they aren't simply plug & play usb devices.

Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Mark
