The iFP-380T is a nice MP3 player, and is easy to setup on a Windows machine. On linux, however, you must either use the aging 2.4.x kernel or recompile the 2.6.x kernel to get UMS(USB Mass Storage) support. The manager drivers can be used with the iFP driver for linux, but the interface is slow, cumbersome, and lacks a GUI. I reccomend looking into other MP3 players if you want something easy to setup and use. But if you know how to, and have the time to, compile a patched kernel, go ahead and try it. Now if you have Windows, this is the best money can buy.
