I've decided to get an mp3 player. The ones most appealing to me are
Sansa m200 series.

Since I don't have plans to get any future releases of Windows, and
since most of the instructions for mp3 players I've seen are for
Windows, I would like to know how hard it is to setup MP3 players on
linux. Can anyone suggest a web page that does this.

Maybe check out RockBox. You can replace the firmware on quite a few mp3
players and make it open source. I haven't used it, but am seriously
thinking about purchasing one and going the RockBox way.

Also, there is one (at least) that supports linux out of the box, and I'm
sorry, but I can't recall which one. If it comes to me, I'll post it.
