Linux scripts for iRiver Hxxx players

These scripts were written to work in Linux systems, and specifically Gentoo Linux. They should work perfectly well on other Linux or Unix-like systems. It's also quite possible to get them working on a Windows system, though I haven't tried this myself.

While I have made every effort to design these scripts to prevent any data loss, and have tested them thoroughly, I will not be held responsible for any problems that arise from their use. If you don't understand what these scripts are doing then I suggest that you don't use them!

The scripts themselves are fairly self-explanatory. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
