i never said i didn't have flac copies on the computer too

the difference between 320kbps mp3 and flac isn't enough for me to justify getting my hedphone wires in a twist about tbh...

You can't complain about DRM and then openly admit to downloading music for free! It wouldn't be like that if people like you didn't abuse it

except DRM doesn't work, there is NO widely used system out there that hasn't been cracked or broken, usually within days if not hours of it being unveiled

Thankfully, most people aren't capable of that! Itunes are dropping DRM completely now.

I used to use Sonys, but their software was dreadful! And having 30gb of music and no scroll wheel = total waste of time.

except that apple still embeds each track with the uniquely identifiable email address you use for your account:

I have a similar Sony one ( mine also has a radio ) - sound quality is awesome, battery life is excellent - very easy to use ( drag and drop like another hard drive )
Plays MP4 movies ( I have Surfs up and Cars on mine at present ) which are quite watchable - even better with a big magnifying glass ...
Rugged and well made - highly recommended

Spokey
