ifp-line

Since I just got my shiny new toy (an iRiver MP3 player) which either speaks USB-mass-storage or its own protocol, I searched and found a tool speaking "the other" protocol :
http://ifp-driver.sourceforge.net

If somebody is interested : the latest version of this "iRiver Manager" protocol and firmware allows to play OggVorbis files. But not (yet) the USB-mass-storage firmware. Now I don't need Windows to transfer OggVorbis files to it 8). AFAIK, iRIver is the only (at least first) company that supports OggVorbis on flash-based players.
