Thanks to these form posts I read about the new development version of gphoto2:īasic MTP support for iRiver mp3 players using ptp driver T10, T20, T30, M415

I saw the T30 there again, and decided to give google a quick look if there is something new on the mtp/Linux front – and their is! While working their I came pass a site which listed several devices which were able to play Ogg. Today I was working in the German Wikipedia again, and continued my some days ago started work to polish up all articles about, ogg, vorbis, theora etc. Time passed by, and I eventually forgot about mtp and this stuff – until today! And I started to inform myself a bit more about iAudio and realized that they build quite good players and that these players are mostly working as USB mass storage and have Ogg support – what do you want more?Īctually, I was so pleased that I bought later on a X5 for my sister – a very cool and nice player which has a hard drive and works like a charm – and after all I know technical much superior to the famous iPods. I’m using this U2 since then and I’m completely satisfied with it. Later on I decided to send iRiver to hell, but found satisfaction with a new (btw.: much better) device, an U2 from iAudio.

And there were no help available in the Open Source world because these drivers were just released – I was one of the first people who got one… I had the hope that iRiver probably would release a new firmware to use the device as an mass storage system, but they answered with no. They used the new mtp-protocol, designed by Microsoft and some others, and at this time only usable with Windows Media Player 10, which requires Windows XP. It was in the time when the new T30 came out, and I bought one of the first available – and was deeply disappointed. I heard lots about the very good Ogg support of iRiver, and decided to buy one of their players. Some months ago I wanted to have a MP3/Ogg player – actually more a Ogg player because almost all my music is Ogg (btw.: I know that the correct term for the audio codec is Vorbis, not Ogg-Vorbis or Ogg, but the file format is ogg, and this is a blog, so I don’t care so strict :-p).
