The Neuros Audio is an mp3 player with a 20GB hard drive. It has a USB1.1 connection. The firmware can be updated. There is an rf modulator that allows the user to listen to mp3 over radio frequencies in their office, home, or car.
This unit mounts as an scsi hard drive. There are two sync programs availble: NSM which is created by Neuros, and Neuros Database Manager which is written in java.
This product works well, as long as you don't use the windows version provided my the manufacturer. The user will need to reset their neuros in order for it to sync properly. This player reads both mp3 and ogg files. The updated firmware is great because I can update it as technology gets better.
I used udev rules to name my neuros, so that i can plug and unplug and not have to find the device the kernel assigns to it.
The neuros is not as pretty as an ipod, nor is it as small. But for half the cost, and the ability to play oggs, this is a great player.
