Using non-supported MP3 on Mac?

Hi, my Ipod was stolen and I am looking for a cheap replacement (not a Shuffle!), I'm thinking this http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5138685/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CHome+entertainment+and+sat+nav%7C14573554/c_2/2%7Ccat_14573554%7CMP3+and+MP4+players%7C14573701/c_3/3%7Ccat_14573701%7CMP3+players%7C14573702.htm

My music is all on my Macbook, but this player seems to be specifeid Windows only. Is it possible to drag and drop the files onto MP3 via USB from my Macbook without using the software supplied? I would assume so, but I don't want to buy without making sure!

Thanks.

Not totally sure, had a quick look around and haven't found much to definitely confirm that it will appear as a UMS/MSC device.

I have a low opinion of philips branded portable audio gear and personally would stay away from them, so i'll just add that maybe you could check out the Sandisk sansa clip or fuze, or have a look at the sony range?

Thanks, yea I had a scoot around as well and couldn't find any concrete fact, I was hoping maybe had some personal experience!
I just picked the Phillips one as it seemed good value for money, I want something with a decent display on it. I have found a disused Zen in my house, I will give that a go!
