In May Linux Journal review of iAudio 7The COWON iAudio 7, Philip Raymond notes that iAudio 7's default configuration is UMS (user mass storage) device. Writing the iAudio 7 is Linux friendly, Raymond notes that the iAudio 7 appears on the desktop as a volume/drive. Thus it is not necessary to install software on the CPU.
I've fast broadband access at university lab, but the desktops are locked to any executable--which rules out any MP3 player that requires the installation of proprietary software.
Are most MP3 players UMS devices--that is function without installing software.
SONYSTYLE store said "No. You must download to desktop and use "conversion software" to get file into Sony Player."
Does anyone have experience with the Cowon D2, which Raymond noted but rejected in favor of iAudio 7 on size.
Many thanks,
Richard Moss
