Having owned both ipods and other players i think that's a bit unfair. Apple sell a complete, simple, user experience and the out-of-the-box experience with iTunes is great - the rip/download art/organise library in sensible folders all works really well. Integration with podcasts is painless - even to auto deletion of stuff you've listened to. What *most* end users want is simplicity itself and that's why it sells. I'll admit to being puzzled by their artwork approach - it seems needlessly complicated - but using iTunes and an iPod it works seamlessly with no user input required for 95% of my library -- b33k34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ b33k34's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10919 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44344 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
