Hello everyone, I'd rather have a portable media player that can play uncompressed audio files. I won't just be listening to it through a pare of headphones, I will be listening to it through a very high quality portable sound system which I will build for it myself. To me, uncompressed audio files sound better then loscy MP3 files. Which ipods play uncompressed audio files? John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.
