[KLUG Members] MP3 Player?

[Steve Petersen]

If you want a large-capacity one (can hold several books), I love my 
Archos Jukebox Recorder 20.  It may be hard to find, but it's worth it. 
  20g capacity, a little uglier and bulkier than the iPod, but less than 
half the price, and it's got a great open-source community writing 
firmware for it at http://www.rockbox.org.  It has onboard encryption 
for recording to mp3 from mic or input, has 10 hours or more of battery 
life with good NiMH rechargeables, is USB 2 compatible... it's great.

Don't get the FM Recorder or any later ones--Micro$oft got to Archos 
eventually, and they're not easily compatible with Linux.  (Damn!)  At 
least, not with my old RH8.
