That's your opinion and it's certainly your right to have it.  If
there was an error in FLAC playback that wouldn't be the end of the
world either....

I've chosen MP3 as my format because it is indistinguishable to my
ears and I like the portability to my iPod and Car player, but I would
rather it not be *further* degraded.  The fact is that these are not
inexpensive, disposable devices and it's reasonable to assume that the
playback of MP3's (which is not some sort of black magic art, unlike
the *encoding* of MP3's) is as good as it can be given the hardware
constraints.

I'm glad to see Logitech taking this seriously, but I'm not surprised.
 This just further validates my personal decision to trust this
company with my in-house music playback so many years ago.  By fixing
this, they will demonstrate yet again that they are not your typical
consumer electronics comporation.

I do find it slightly humorous that my two old SliMP3's *may* have
more accurate MP3 playback support than my SB2 and my SB3.
