I do more then just listen to music with it. A self powered, 20 gb usb HD is a dream for on site data recovery or just sharing movies and shit with people.
yeah, i can understand that. what makes me laff are the bozos that say "hey, i can't fit my entire library on a 4GB DAP."
what makes them think a year from now they'll be able to fit their entire library on a 20 or 40GB?
Even WAVs and AIFFs have the same problem; even professional sequencers/audio programs get round this by crossfading when you glue two bits of audio together. You can sometimes still get the Digital Audio Pop just by screwing that up. It's a bit of a pain in the arse to have silence, but it's better than getting your eardrums buggered.
So I got a nano ipod. It still doesn't support "gapless playback." But in pretty much every other way it rocks the shit out of the fuck, so I ain't be no hatin' fool.
[size=85]yea i've too been kind of thinking about maybe a new sig but sort of haven't come to quite a decision yet[/size]
Hmmm... I guess I'd have to admit that a nano is tempting... but I've tried the "completely intuitive" and "simple" interface everyone is always banging on about and I thought it was quite poorly designed crap.
Unfortunately, everyone seems to think it's the best, so I don't know what my options are, now that Foo has ill-advised buying a Creative.
Ah well... I'll keep waiting for something different, I guess...

i used a Creative Zen for over two weeks. I didn't care for the interface as much as the ipods', but not sure what problems Foo was having/has heard. the Zen actually sounded a little better through the headphone jack than the ipod, but it's pretty known that the ipod's jack is a little underpowered.

The Creative Zen Touch was one I had been considering for a while, but I haven't been able to locate any places that have a display model I can test out, so I wasn't ever able to make a comparison between interfaces. I just know I don't like the iPod's much; I can't say if it's better or worse than any others, though.
The first day after I made sure the thing was fully charged, I listened to it nonstop. I got a little over 12 hours out of it. Since I was also playing around with the features, it think that might have lowered battery life a bit.

i love how you care, riddla. really. not everything is perfect with Apple i'm afraid. does that hurt?

actually, 14 hours is pretty paltry for a flash based player. Apple didn't do so well in this regard.
You're stating that as if Apple could have done better in this regard, given the large, bright screen and slim profile. I don't see how you are justified in saying this.

how's that? i don't think the battery life is very good, that's it. i love everything else about the ipods, i even have one you retarded ape. but, they're not perfect.
you're so predictable. you're really missing Test aren't you?

it's flash based, the battery life should be longer. 8GB HDD players have as much or longer battery life. the screen's no more impressive than competitors' OLED or color offerings.
