LXer: Turbolinux Wizpy Is First MP3/Linux Player


Published at LXer:

As if MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC, DivX, and FM radio support wasn't enough, this Turbolinux Wizpy player comes pre-installed with Linux. The OS, Turbolinux FUJI, has Firefox, Thunderbird, and Skype, which makes it easy to just plug the player into any machine and boot directly to Linux.

There is some discussion of this product on the Rockbox mailing list, first Rockbox is an alternative, opensource, media player that works on various players including the iPod. The big question seems to be that although everyone agrees the articles claim the Wizpy includes turbolinux so one can boot a pc off of it, some claim the player itself does not actually run on linux. It's not unheard of having a pc boot from a linux on a cd or usb drive but what would make the Wizby different is the player itself is running on turbolinux. Some sites claim it does while others only suggest it might. At any rate, this is one item I want to keep an eye on, it may end up replacing m 5th generation 60g iPod. Of course if I ever get Rockbox working the way I want, I could change my mind...
