Wow, looks like lots of them do.

I have a Neuros. It's good, but a little outdated at this point. Neuros is
fully into Free Software, including releasing their code and specs for
their hardware. They haven't released everything, but more than most and
they really do seem to be trying to go full Free and Open.

If they can just be portable storage and understand normal playlists you
should be fine. Hopefully the Xiph site has enough info.

I think I'm gonna have to consider getting a new media player.
