I'm using the older iRipDB code (googling for it shows it is mildly defunct,
but works for me).  It appears the code is superceded by:
http://www.fataltourist.com/iripdb/, though I think I got it from the
original source.  It doesn't specifically say that it would work with the
H3xx players, but I took a chance that iRiver kept using the same format,
and I was right. :)

Interesting, do you have instructions for how you are pulling this off?  I
hadn't realized this was possible, and I'd be very interested in getting
this to work!

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
