hey im in search of 30$ or less mp3 player that would work with linux and it must have atleast 32mb i really need a cheap one for school and i really dont want to shell out on somthing expensive .. any ideas?

Moved to General Forum so it get's a better response.

bump

Get an apacer. It officially supports Linux kernels over 2.4.0. I doubt you will find anything with 32MB nowadays though.

get at least a 256MB, or you will most likely regret later. Also, your signature... what does it have to do with peoples preferences for either Jesus or Satan based on the Operating System they are running....

ah thanks , well doesent mean nothing just a quote

o and any idea where to buy a mp3 from there? beacause it seems that they dont have a online store and such

nvm i found i just spelt it wrong thanks

OK, maybe I was being a little too pick about your signature. It does not bother me at all, but you know how peoples can be when it comes down to religion... for some, even killing others is acceptable (did I say this out loud?, lol). Anyway, here is a map where that company is located, as well as their contact phone numbers, so you can give them a call and see if it's possible to order by phone or they might suggest a vendor near you:

I hope this helps. Good luck!

You need one for school? I want to take that class: "Ok everyone, and don't forget to bring your portable MP3 players with you next time, or else I'll fail every single one of you."

Not exactly less than 30 bucks, but I ran across this awesome one put out by creative:

The 512 is plenty for now, it's something like 8 hours of high quality (guess around 160) music. It's a voice recorder, it has an FM tuner that you can record from, it supports the ability to plug directly into it from any audio source and capture the audio (something like plugging in a stereo jack from your record player to the input on this thing and recording a few songs).

And it's about the size of a small (5) pack of gum! Super light, solid state media (no skipping)...

Anyway, my brother bought one, they are really really cool, but cost quite a bit more than your stated requirement, so my post is probably worthless to you, nonetheless, it's cool (~$130 USD)

Cool

o0o im likeing the creative one does it work good with linux?

Hey! After looking that Apacer AV220 over, I think it's probably a better deal (found it on a few sites for less than the Creative), seems comparable in features, but has a lower price tag, the big plus is that it's noted to be supported in Linux, although I'm sure most of them will be (as mass storage devices).

Cool
