Yes it did, right out of the box (although I needed to use my son's XP 
system to put it into MSC mode). The only "problems" I've had have been 
due to the Rockbox code, that has improved exponentially in the 2 1/2 - 
3 months I've been running it. I've connected to both my TigerDirect 
Barebomes system at home (from last summer, AMD Sempron 300+ etc.) to my 
Dell C840 laptop at work. Both are running Ubuntu 7.04 code, with some 
KDE apps thrown in for good measure.
