So, what's the point of this thread??? The Sony player is not Mac compatible nor is the Sony store. I hope you haven't forgotten that this is a "Mac" forum? Most Mac users are not …

Okay valid points....

Why so hostile? I think there are quite a few iPod owners who might fine this review usefull. If at least only to see where the, LOL, "iPod Killers" are at. You are right in a…

Hey echosphere Thanks for the Look!!! It looks nice, probably works Great, and like the Size. But I'll be getting the Newer ipod with color screen thats coming out. But nice Revi…

Ok, so you say you learned your lesson about not using proprietary encoding formats....so you shunned AAC in favor of ATRAC?

Nope, CD backups and AIFF format.

for hldan: <sigh>. I am so tired of someone trying to be nice and provide a service to others (I for one was looking at the Sony) and someone else says, "Macs only!" I am …

A 60GB iPod photo for me then. With a student discount, the prize is knocked off another $45 over here. Since it "charges over USB 2", it works just like FW right? (assuming the M…
