- Must be easy to manage on Linux (duh)
- Must have at least 8 gigs, either by itself or with a mini/micro SD card
- Must do playlists well, as that's mainly how I listen to music (I don't care if I add music or albums to a playlist on the computer or the player itself, as long as it's fairly easy to do)
- No Apple players
A lower price is a plus, too. I don't care about playing videos, recording, listening to radio, etc. Touch controls are nice but not required. My music collection is just about entirely in mp3 format.
I did this dual-booting thing automatically with the install disk, if that makes a difference. Oh, and the Windows side is Windows 7.

I like Ubuntu very much, so far... but one problem I have is my laptop (which dual boots Windows/Ubuntu) can't network with my desktop PC (which runs Windows 7) when it's on the Ubuntu side. I tried, at first, installing the packages that it said were missing. I tried many times, and they refused to install. That was about a month ago.
Today, being unable to remember what it wanted me to install, I looked it up on Google and recognized Samba as one of the things it wanted me to install. So I followed the directions and managed to get it to install. And now I'm stuck. I don't know how to use Samba, I don't remember the other thing it wanted me to install, and the instructions for what to do with Samba might as well be in Greek for all the sense I can get out of them.
So, I need someone to point me at (or provide me with) what to do, that's written for the everyday person. Samba for dummies, I guess you could say.
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? The restore session function is a major reason I use Firefox!
I am running Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Thanks!

Today I burned two car CD for my father's car in a CD shop.The songs in the CD are selected by me carefully int the Internet.Most of them are from the Voice of China.My father is very satisfied with the songs and he seems very happy with the two CDs.
Later this morning we went to pay a visit to my uncle.My cousin, who has been far away from home for nearly a year, had come back.I miss him because he is one of the cousins that had been influencing me greatly in my growth and this big family is going through some kind of tough time.
Sometimes I think that my father is very busy and tired because the two families are going to have more and more problems as the old people are growing older and older.It's wired that the older the people are the more bad-tempered they will become, which is contrary to the idea that I learn from textbooks.According to the books,when people become older, they will see things in a more broadened horizon as they had been going through a lot of challenges and hardships.But the fact is that my grandma is becoming a woman that my father hates.I don't think I can do anything.It's a pity.
My mom is really a hardworking woman.She is a good ma, a good wife, a good person who can deal with a lot of complicated relationship of the complecated family.I recognize I am not familar with the stuff and I try to avoid being involed in it and it's noisy.
