Re:I never liked the iRiver (Score 1)

I too have an x5. i'll second using rsync, only I used a big exclude list of everything I didn't want on the player, as opposed to the symlinks. I'll add in that euxneks should search for the dual boot rockbox/cowon firmware if he wants to use the USB host features, or for anyone who might want to watch video or play wma's. plus I think you get extra nerd points for having an mp3 player that dual boots and runs doom.
