I always recommend SonicBlue's Rio line. About the only thing they have in common with the ipod is that they play music, but there's a project called rioutil that supports many of them in Linux. They only play MP3 and WMA, though, unless the side project to develop open-source firmware has had a breakthrough. The solid-state players (S-series, etc.) are small, light, completely shock-proof, have upgradeable memory, and their battery life is incredible: my S10 gets 25-30 hours from a single AA cell!
