Most players offer an option to format or initialize the player. 
I'd strongly suggest using that if possible.   Next best would be a 
utility supplied by the MP3 manufacturer (yes Windows based.)  Most 
of the players use FAT (DOS) to access their memory and won't know 
what to do with a UNIX format.

bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in 
your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover." --Mark Twain
