Trisquel and my legacy audio player

I just managed to upgrade one of my legacy players to solid state storage. Like many other earlier awkwardly-designed players, it required certain proprietary driver provided by the vendor to function under M$ Losedows. However, this model was officially discontinued well before Losedows Vista, so there was no usable driver signed by M$.
I plugged the modified player into my fully free/libre Trisquel notebook, and the file system was perfectly mounted, without any non-free firmware/blobs. This renders whether the player works under Losedows unimportant. Now I managed to retrieve those DRM-free musics and recordings stored in that player, since most CDs from which the musics were ripped are no longer readable.
Thank you, Trisquel (and other freedom-respecting GNU/Linux distributions).
