If you want to go totally open source, then you'll have to find a player that does NOT do MP3 in any way.

MP3 is NOT open source.

See this Wired article:
MP3's Loss, Open Source's Gain

I dont know of any daps that do not use mp3 at all. Im not anti closed source or anything. I just really respect the work done by these groups of people. flac is an awesome accomplishment and I salute their efforts by using it exclusively as my lossless format.

i cannot pick out the certain products but certain panasonic have used other formats than mp3. namely aac and wmv
