PiccoloNamek the solution to your multi-disk question is quite simple. Put the disk number in the album name. I know you said you use Rockbox, but I figured I'd post the solution anyway.
As for the Vision versus Ipod arguement, from what I remember reading when looking at comparison lists the vision was indeed better. The only reason I went with an Ipod is because I was going on a series of vacations, wanted a portable music player before going and it had to be 60GB. Therefore I picked up the iPod. I'm not an Apple nut, nor do I have some unjustified loyalty to my portable music player, but I'd like to chime in with a few things. PiccoloNamek if this were 2 years ago I'd totally agree with you on filetree browsing, but now after perfectly tagging enough of my MP3's I have to say that Filetree browsing = tagging. I already offered a solution to the multidisk problem, and I'm sure you'd agree that if you did genre tag all of your MP3s one would have no real advatage to one over the other. On iTunes. I don't like the idea of needing a mediator between me and my DAP. Again before getting the iPod having to do this really pissed me off, but there are advantages to having the two integrated. Firstly the iPod/iTunes keeps track of how many times I've played certain songs. While I always have my 'go to' tracks I like to make sure I take advantage of all the songs it holds. What I can do is sort by playcount and make a playlist of unplayed songs. Same thing goes for song ratings. I can easily make a list of all of my "5 star" tracks. Just today I was able to get rid of a load of dead air from those annoyingly short skits/interludes from my player. Because I can sort by time I just looked at all the tracks that were less than 1:00 and kept the few that I knew were music and killed off the rest. Again, this is something that I would not be able to do with a simple drag and drop interface. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I have to amend my last post, I just realized you can do all of that with a drag and drop interface. Using Winamp I could just create a library of the MP3s on the device.
iTunes = Lose. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
