Previously, I’ve blogged about my adventures with the gorgeous Cowon S9 and Banshee/Linux. In the intervening time, I’ve been working towards getting it working with libmtp.
While I’ve been doing that, Cowon have released an updated firmware that adds M3U playlist support. This is a real result for Linux users. The S9 doesn’t actually seem to be able to read the M3U files correctly as yet but I’ve opened this as an issue with Cowon and hopefully they’ll fix it in the next release. Remember, this latest firmware is only a beta and may eat your children or your data – install with care although I’ve had no problems other that then non-reading M3Us.
Just have to get the HAL information integrated upstream so that people don’t have to download my .fdi file for it.
