There be dragons.

Microsoft has some sort of proprietary crap for accessing music
players under Windows, even though USB external storage would work
just fine, and moreover seems to have bribed some manufacturers into
_only_ supporting their proprietary protocol.  iRiver is a case in
point on certain of their models.

I went down this route for my wife's birthday, and eventually bought
an iPod nano, even though this has its own set of issues.
