I'm a happy user of a Meizu MiniPlayer. It's Chinese, so it must be good. And cheap. Also supports Flac and Ogg, but cannot be extended by SD cards. Can be made to play ripped YouTube videos, which I never thought I would do, until I found out that I do.

I have an iAudio X5 with a 60gb drive and only use .ogg on it;it built
like a tank, plus there is an open source operating system available for it and some other players at: http://www.rockbox.org I recently bought an iAudio 7 with 16gb RAM as a gift and have only heard them say good things about it. Players that do not requires special applications like iTunes to function properly remove the buggy overly complex interfaces and just act as removable drives when connected via USB.

I despise mp3s. And I gave up net radio for the computer because of the godawful canned sound. If I ever get an iPod again, it will be for language study, not music storage and it will be a flash drive, not one of those hard drives that spins endlessly trying to find what you want to play. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: microsound-unsubscribe@...
