iPod or Zen?

I decided to go with the ipod for one key reason: The 30GB Zen was not available locally and I made sure to buy a 3-year extended warranty, since I've heard how unreliable Ipods can be. As is, I'd had zero problems with it and I wish I would've gone the extra $100 for the 60GB one. Worst thing I can say about it is the bass kind of sucks, but an earphone upgrade to something in the $99 range made a world of difference. Without taking anything away from Zen and based solely on my own experience, I would recommend the iPod.

Edit: Also, AAC format is great. I can't tell the difference at between AAC at 128 kbps and mp3's at even 320. Definitely a great space saver.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The main problem I have with iTunes is when I just want to add a single track (without creating a new album). Normally, I just take a second and change the album title to either "Random" or "Anime Vocal Collection" (since I pluck a lot of these off the internet and don't want to make directories for every little single I come across). Having a folder to dump them in would save a couple seconds, but I've learned to deal with that over the last few months.

I like using iTunes overall, but I can't say I haven't wished for a more traditional "drop file in folder" setup a couple times (like, say, when I download an album with zero tag information filled in...ugh...Or when I have "Seiken Densetsu 3" vs "Seiken Densetsu 3" or "Me & Satan King OST" vs "Me and Satan King Original Soundtrack" vs "Me and Satan King OST")

Edit: Doesn't show up in the actual post, but there should be an extra space between "Seiken" and "3". That little extra space creates a new directory.

How ya doing, buddy?
