But since the lights went out I’ve never been the same

[venta]

Yesterday I had one of those moments where I realise I have a very specific opinion on something - but no real justification for it, and no clear idea where I got it from.

So, you, my dear self-selecting sample of guinea pigs, have the opportunity to prove me right. Or wrong. But I'm not going to tell you which is which. I'd hate to bias my otherwise-scientific survey.

I'm asking here about portable mp3 players (or mp3-a-likes). If you use your computer to play mp3s at you at home, or have some form of mp3 monster in the car, that's not what I meant.

Does the Creative software do that?

Yes. And doesn't rip to AAC by default :-)

I did look at it properly eventually and got round to putting real music and playlists on my toy :-)

To qualify my statement: I would not have bought the iPod for that much money if there hadn't been the software to back it up. If the Creative does a similar thing then that's just dandy.

doesn't rip to AAC by default

Yes, that just blows. But then I use audiograbber and encode to mp3 in a batch using LAME, overnight, and then tag using Eags On.

iTunes is good for managing music only!
