Hi,
Ive got a Mp3 player (Called a kazoo). It has no mudules with it for Linux.
What is the probability that I could use the module for the Rio or another player with this different piece of Hardware?

cheers

I would do so searches on linux google (http://www.google.com/linux) I'm no sure, but I think the kazoo just uses the usb mass storage driver. so if you had that set up you could just mount it like any other drive and move mp3's over to it. But like I said do some searches cause it may use some sort of proprietary format or copy protection.

I wansn't able to find anything on google but I do have the USB massage storage driver - so I'll see what happensd if I try to mount it. How far I get.

Thanks

Well I did a little searching and basically your SOL the rca lyra mp3 player that you have only plays ecripted copy protected files with .mpx extention that can only be created by a windows program.
