The mypod has been replaced by the new generation! I got a great deal on a used Creative Zen Vision M 30G player, and so far it’s been very nice to use. I like that it’s software-agnostic, not requiring installation of Creative’s software bundle or even Windows. This is Creative’s answer to the iPod Video, and I really think they’ve one-upped Apple in terms of functionality and flexibility.
Under debian I can use gnomad2 or the libmtp command line utilities to manage music, videos and pictures. Under Windows XP (SP2 or better) the mtp support allows easy integration with explorer.
Now to get the storage part of the player partitioned so I can have both a vfat partition for portable win32 utilities and a bootable linux distro.
