How many people do you suppose just have to have a new ipod for Christmas this year or they will be crying in their gruel?

That's what it all comes down to, doesn't it? Who's got the best marketing to convince the most people they gotta have the "hot" brand even when different brands sound better. Agree with SS as well. Maybe he thinks (as per previous post) that his comments were out of context for the thread, but they were right on regardless.
I prefer iriver and to a lesser extent Cowon. (Lesser because Cowon's buggy firmware gets annoying even tho the sound is good.) Before those it was Rio, before that it was one of the better Sony portable CD players. All still sound (to me) better than any of the iPods so far tried, all belonging to others who wonder why I "still haven't bought an iPod yet".
It's like being a member of some quasi-anti-12-step program. My name is Katelyn and I do NOT want an iPod.
