Of course you could always go for a portable player which isn't as
restricted as the ipod and plays open formats like FLAC out of the box.
yep. and for my next h/w rev i'll be looking at exactly that.
of course other features (in-car integration, photo pod, etc.) might
prove to be worth dealing with this issue.
and then there's the fact that FLAC might not be a great portable
format. files are large. and probably larger than they need to be
given how portables are used: sub-audiophile earphones, noisy
environments, etc. and large files affect battery life as they involve
more disk spinning. so that's a trade-off.
we'll see.
