Sansa e280

Posted at 9:46 pm MDT to Technology

I have a new Sansa MP3 player. It has decent sound, FM radio, video and picture capability, 8 gigs of storage, and was available cheap at Costco, so it is probably obsolete. It doesn't really support anything but Windows, but Google is our friend, and Linux people are creative and determined.

I've already determined that the radio works and I can transfer mp3s from Linux to the Sansa (Girl Genius Radio Theater Podcasts. Yay.) with excellent audio results.

At the moment, I'm trying to rip some of my Filk CDs to MP3 so I can load them up and have them to listen to on my trip this coming week. I've ripped a few tracks in the past, but I think that was before I switched from SuSE to Kubuntu. I'm having a little trouble getting the tools to do what I think they are supposed to (which probably means I am misunderstanding the mechanism involved). Back to Google.
