Ya'll,

The spousal unit <duck, crack, smash>  wants an mp3 player that is 
compatable with Kubuntu and will allow her to easily move files, sync 
files and get/purchase music from the web. She fancies the Sansa View 
MP3 player.

Of course, everything talks about M$, but.... we know how that goes. 
Natively, the little beast supports:
mpeg4
wmv
H.264
wma
wav
non-DRM AAC
and of course, mp3

She likes the music subscriptions of Yahoo! Music, Rhapsody To Go, 
Napster, eMusic and video services of Amazon Unboxed, MovieLink and Guba.

If the software to manipulate files and services is similar to iTunes, 
that would be great!

ALTERNATELY, what mp3 players do you recommend and what interface 
software for it?

At this time, her only reason to drop back to Windoze is to use iTunes, 
otherwise she is strictly Kubuntu (it was quick and easy to convert her 
to Kubuntu, Slackware was too much for her).
