[ale] mp3 player

[Richard Bronosky]

At least in the past the Sansas needed windows to do firmware
upgrades. This especially pissed my dad off when he opened the package
and saw one of those "taped on at the last minute" notices that the
firmware needed to updated before using.

I have an iriver clix 512MB that is 4+ years old. It has a pretty
nifty interface compared to everything else out there. It is designed
for windows only but I have hacked together a script that rebuilds the
internal database before ejecting it as a mass storage device.
