But I don't wanna play music with a gaming console, and if I did my DS could do it fine.
Yeah the video are "low quality" (384kbps, 256x192 pixels, around 12 fps or 15 or something.)
I don't know if it plays AAC, it plays a lot of formats atleast, I don't give a crap about AAC. It plays mod, s3m, xm, sid,.. and ogg and mp3 of course.
The data transfer only is probably just what it says, it only allows data transfer, thru the OS. Their software are only for Windows so anything except data transfer (copying files) won't work of course, whatever that is, anyway, their software music player won't work in os x and linux
The article seem to suggest that rockbox is a file manager running on the computer, it's not, it's another software for the iPod, so as long as you get it to run on the new hardware everything will work as it normally do with it on any other hardware.
And even if you do, why run Ubuntu instead of Debian or FreeBSD?:D
I just recently bought a macbook pro, but only to run OS X, but I'm not convinced it's that great nowadays, but I've wanted one for so long so now when I could afford it I got one... Earlier it was my AmigaOS VS DOS/Win3.11 and Win95 hate which made me wish for something better, MacOS classic wasn't it... But then came OS X and I wanted to use it but couldn't afford a Mac. Today I would probably survive just as good in FreeBSD with KDE as with OS X if it wasn't for commercial apps I want to try.
I use it with my own directory structure and I don't have any problems with that? I guess I may lose track of how many times a track have been played and similair information if I rename a directory and readd the files but I don't care much if that would happen..
I don't care that much but if I can I'll try to have the group names of the releasers intact, but sometimes I have to fix ID3-tags a lot and so on and then I may rename the files to something better aswell.
Yeah because that worked great for Apple last time?
Steve Jobs during keynotes usually seem very entusiastic and to me is one of the major reaons that I belive os x / macs "are great", it's hard to don't like that energy and selfesteem. But the two last years have been very tame, I don't know why. He was sick for a while wasn't he? Maybe it's because of that. Or he's just to old now.
Ever considered turning your dell into a hackintosh?
Anyway Adobe Lightroom are considered to be on par with Apple Aperture so it can't be that bad. Maybe you can run it thru Wine? Wine are supposed to be able to run Photoshop nowadays so..
Yeah and that's not important at all on a laptop! Why would one ever need to turn it of/not activily use it without losing all your "work" (slashdot tabs, porn movie location,...)
Yeah but rockbox functionallity aren't there thanks to Apple, and why support Apple with your money when they offer an inferior product? Why not buy something which are good from the begining? I will never buy an iPod, even if I knew the model could run rockbox, which none of the current ones can (maybe the classic?)
I guess they got the user interface right, and that some people (the Apple people since iPods only run on Apples first) liked that it worked good with their music player (since all Apple users would use iTunes anyway.)
But many people also belive Rio did something great, to bad they died.
Anyway many people buy Creative, and people who understand better buy iRiver or iAudio, or maybe Meizu.
Wouldn't it be better if they competed by making a better player? Sure iTunes are decent, but on Windows it's rather slow and I would say it's to slow in OS X aswell. Amarok rules. Give me KDE 4 for OS X thanks =P
Does Apple inform the costumer that iTunes are required? I guess so. Do they say it on the webpage? I doubt it.
Anyway why the fuck do one buy an iPod? After the last update the price of the Nano is decent, but the Shuffle really suck, the classic is good if you need all that storage but I don't care about HDD-players. The iPod Touch are just an iPhone without the phone so why not get an iPhone instead and unlock it?
Anyway, iRiver got the T50 and T60 which might be nice players, and the Clix 2. iAudio/Cowon got D2 and 7.
Personally I'd much rather get a D2 (or clix2) than an iPod touch, but I doubt a touch interface works good in the gym so T50/T60 or maybe even 7 (I would prefer to get one from iAudio but I doubt the 7 interface are that good at the gym/inlines/running either but better than D2.)
Anyway there are lots of non-retarded players out there, with better battery life, format support, non-lockin, radio, sound quality and eventually interface aswell than the iPods, so why buy them?
Samsung YP-Z5 and YP-T9 are probably good players aswell.
Sonys would be awesome to if it wasn't because that Sony are as retarded as Apple and force you to use crap software.
(Thought of course in that equation the energy isn't constant but C is and if the mass various so would E, but whatever =P) (Also E isn't the total energi including that in solid form.)
But then we have E=MC^2, and if the energy in the universe is constant (in solid or other form) then the speed of light is related to the amount of mass and if everything is getting heavier the speed of light is droping!
And then the meter is getting smaller aswell, which explains why his middle region measures more of a meter today!

I've got the impression that they would port it to most OSes, like OS X and maybe Windows (?) aswell. KDE for Windows would be awesome.

Are better quality still true vs lame encoded mp3s on higher bitrates? I know it's supposed to sound better at lower bitrates.
Thought just because it went bad with whoever back then doesn't mean it has to go bad with someone else in the future.
Thank you but I have a DS lite with M3 perfect MicroSD and 2GB microSD.
Sure you can, all iAudio are UMS afaik.

Why the fuck buy a mac to run whatever x86-os?
:D

The iAudio D2 seems to support SDHC-cards.

I would have modded you up from that flamebait if I hadn't posted quite a few anti-iPod-posts myself already :(

Probably flac, I don't see why he would use ogg instead of mp3 except that it's open and free.

Why did you bought the 2nd gen Nano since rockbox webpage has said all the time (maybe except just after release) that it's not currently supported?
Also why buy an Apple player at all even if rockbox worked? Buy something which supports freedom instead. Why not the iAudio D2/7?

That's why he said magnetic repulsion. A nice way to split it up, if it worked.

And once we've burned the retinas of the aliens they actually have a reason to go here!
But then the living quarters would never leave earth orbit would they? ;D
