Just by luck, I live 5 miles from Tiger Direct, who just happened to have the e260's that were 1st generation. This means I can (well already have) install rockbox on it. I got the 4gb version for $50 and already installed RockBox. Now I am copying music from my daapd server over to it. Thanks everyone for your suggestions, and hopefully all of these will help out people who search for this same thing in the future. I plan on checking out some of the others too that were mentioned, especially the Meizu as they look kind of pimpish. OK, I went with the Sansa e260 while I await my Cowon iAudio 7.

Popped in a 2Gb card and a copy of <a href="http://symbianoggplay.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">Symbian Ogg play</a> and all is sorted. No need to a separate player and it has an FM radio if that is what you want.. Just a thought. I have a nokia 6120 that was free with my contract.

I gotta know! No one seems to have mentioned the Cowon iAudio D2 which just rocks as a music player and a video player. It's easily the best player I've ever owned. It's memory is expandable with SDHC cards, it has a Flash interface and it's touch screen. There's a very active user community that creates great flash themes. <a href="http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18335" title="http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18335" rel="nofollow"> So which one have you chosen??

Plays Ogg and Flac. Works perfectly with Ubuntu 8.04, even its firmware can be upgraded from Ubuntu.
