    It is better then wasting your money on an Ipod... good buy

        I actually care about sound quality and the value of my money, so of course an Ipod was out of the question.

        Why pay more for a device that is sonically inferior, supports fewer formats, as fewer availably online resources and has substantially less battery life? Only a moron would do so.

            Total with shipping $285. No sales tax since I'm in Oregon.

              While you wait for it, you should experiment with compression.

              Compare max-bitrate WMA with WMA-lossless with MP3, see which you prefer and find most functional.

                That would only be if I bought a Microsoft product, because we all know you're Bill Gates's paid shill.

                  Creative and MS have a solid business relationship, so I'm golden.

                    Well, MP3 is already going to be out (for when I have a choice), as I can hear the cheating in that format. So it will be one of the WMA formats for the music I'm ripping myself.

                        Well you gotta think about one of those pack-rat types who likes to waste money on junk.. the ipod sucks big time. My friend had one (which his mom bought him and he never quite forgave her for that cause he wanted a creative).. he dropped it from his bed and it broke to pieces... and that was onto carpet.

                          The ideal solution for you, from what I remember talking to you on MSN long ago, would probably be WMA @ 320 Kbps.

                          WMP10 will only rip to 192Kbps WMA by default, so you should look into...other means.

                          This should work...
