It doesn't need to. In addition to downloading to the device while he's not chained to a computer, it also syncs the device to the PC, so the music is both places. > Read carefully: the 2008 model "trumps" the 2001 model from that other > company. No, it trumps a model that you can go and buy tonight and that Apple just updated and that sold (from the best figures I can find) 3+ million units last year. The only iPod model in this price range with the kind of storage that my son (and apparently 3+ million iPod users) wants. For the uses that he (and those 3+ million iPod users) has, and for the money he wants to spend, the choice is between Zune and Classic, and the Zune is now the better choice. But you just can't bring yourself to say it. > I do not have any special hatred of MS. Right. You're completely fair and impartial as regards MS. And I'm heading to the North Pole to see how Santa's doing tomorrow. I give up. You're just not rational when it comes to any Apple/MS discussion. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
