wilcal Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 For the record here I purchased one of these things and up to this point it appears to be compatible with Mandriva 2006. Trying to find documented compatibility between MP3 Players and Linux is a bit of a challenge. I sent some messages to several sales@xyz.com and got mostly no replies and in once case a flat out "it won't work" message. I decided on this particular machine because I own a SanDisk 512MB Cruser USB drive and Mandriva recognizes that. So, you would expect that an MP3 Player from the same manufacturer should be the same. At least in this case, it is. When you plug the e130 into the USB port Mandriva recognizes it and places a Sansa e130 icon on the Mandriva desktop. Opening that presents you with the same file presentation structure you would see with the 512MB USB drive. Drag, drop and delete functions work the same. I do give things a minute or two to settle before disconnecting the e130. Do not unmount it as that appears to do awful things. Also before disconnecting empty the trash and do not have the Sansa e130 as "focus" on the desktop. Choose something else or nothing at all, then disconnect it. Otherwise I think there's some incompleteness going on there. Especially if you have deleted something and not emptied the trash. Since the e130 is functionally the same as the e140 at 1GB of internal memory I would expect that they would preform the same.
