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.

You forgot to list market recognition in your list of the iPod's advantages (unless you meant to include it under the cover of marketing).

From my POV, it's this that is the clincher, since my preferred choice, for a very long time was the Creative Zen (greater capacity, or lower price). But nobody would ever know the name of it: it'd always be compared to an iPod (even the concept of an "iPod killer" admits this!)
