I've already responded to Richard.  Is there a volunteer who can edit
the page to fulfill his request?  If so, please edit the page let
Richard know that you've completed the task.

Thanks,
jack.

I just found out about at that page, and it would be good for the FSF
to make a link to a similar page.  However, there's a specific problem
with this one: it recommends installing different firmware into some
of the players.  That firmware is non-free software, so we mustn't
recommend it.

Could you make a similar page that has the same info but without mentioning
the devices that need users to install new firmware?  That we could
and will make a link to.

If you can't do this, I will try to find someone else.


One other thing.  Some of these players are described as "flash-based".
Does this have something to do with Macromedia?
