New to the list, so let me know if I'm posting this incorrectly. Does anyone know of a large capacity hard drive "linux-friendly mp3 player"? I'm a guitar teacher, and really like the fact that I've had my entire music collection at my disposal at my lessons with my 60 gb Ipod. However, I'm getting dangerously close to filling it up, and am looking at an upgrade. I'd like to get something that plays nice with linux, and just out of principle I'd like to stay away from Apple. However, the only things I've managed to find with more hard drive capacity are *sigh* the Ipod Classic and *double sigh* the Zune. I guess I'd be looking for at least 80 gb.
