Review title: Can work with Linux
Product review: I've been able to run the MTP-US version without WinXP using Linux (Fedora Core 4). The core functionality of the MTP protocol this player uses with Windows Media Player is actually PTP2 (Picture Transport Protocol) which ghoto2 handles quite nicely. I'm able to transfer files and create playlists using some scripts posted at misticriver.net. I've even upgraded to the latest MTP-1.54-N-ENG firmware without the "benefit" of a winDoze box.iRiver doesn't support Linux users - but it works pretty well with it otherwise.It's a good player:Very good audio, good user interface (browser, skip, etc)I really like the timer-based FM recording capability.(a simplistic TiVo for radio)The display is clear, very easy to read with or without light.
