100% of mass storage mp3 players work on linux.
and ipods do too and they require a drivers.
also music players like amarok, banshee support playforsure, mass storage and ipods.

No... they don't. They haven't gotten work arounds for all of them yet... and that's also kind of the point.
You need workarounds... rather then it just being compatable as soon as you have a computer. If you have a Sony MP3 player for example you need to find an obscure java program to bypass it's windows programs.
Flash Media players (still exist) in general are really sketchy on linux with plenty not working and others not exactly having equal functionality as the ones on Windows. (Like the aforementioend Sony models.)
It's gettin better but isn't 100% by anymeans.

wrong.
sony walkmans have been mass storage devices years ago.
almost all mass storage, MPT, Playforsure, and ipod work on linux. with no driver install.
even if some do, they also need install on windows, while the driver is available it's as easy as installing a .deb, .rpm

Except there are tons that still don't. Including earlier Sony Walkmans as you've pointed out... well and your wrong...
There are still plenty of MP3 players that don't work on Linux or if they do have compatability issues.
