And if you don't like iTunes you're pretty stuck. No thanks. You also forgot the iPod's disadvantages: You're stuck with iTunes (did I mention this already?). Supports just 3 formats. Where's WMA? Vorbis? FLAC? Distinct lack of advanced features - where's the real EQ? Where's the on-the-fly playlists? No gapless playback. Deal breaker for me. When a $400 DAP can't do something a $20 portable CD player can, we have a problem. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21370 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
