Thanks, I have been there. I can't really figure out all they support though. Being as I have low tolerance for plugging things in and out and for special transfer software and all that I rather like the idea of wireless transfer. I like to carry woodworking magazines about for example, I had been using my phone by transferring from cd to an SD card then slipping the SD card into the phone but the card reader/writer died and it was a further pain to have to plug that in. I might be able to do it now by bluetooth if I can work out how to select where to copy the files onto the phone but probably the best answer is an MP3 player in the long run. One I can work without a lot of fooling about. I do not get my jollies pushing buttons and memorizing sequences is all. I had heard that many of these units don't use menus but of course none of that is ever mentioned in the promotional material.

You want to check out www.rockbox.org. It is open source firmware for many mp3 players. I have a Iaudio X5 for a few years now. It works very well. The developers of rockbox are to be commended.
