mp3 players and linux

I have a Creative Zen Touch and it works great with SuSE 9.3 and KZenExplorer.

The iFP series work differently to the H/iHP series. All of the files need to be added to a database when being transferred, whereas the H series manage their own databases dynamically on booting them (Explains why they take up to 25 seconds to boot). I think there is something funny about the device identification, I was never able to mount it directly as fat or usbfs.

if you are in luck then the driver is already compiled as a module for your distro, to find out type "modprobe usbat2" as the root user in a terminal window. there should be no output if it worked. if so then you can plug it in and type mount /dev/devicenamehere /mnt/ and you can access it under the /mnt directory

Creative Muvo Micro N200 (1GB) is recognized as a normal USB device.

I just drag and drop, well... or

mount /dev/sda1
cp -r ~/music/* /mnt/usbflash
