PSA to all personal media player manufacturers:

Syncing media and creating playlists is so much more annoying than just copying files and making folders.
And if you think you are "protecting" your Digital Rights Management by only allowing your customers to sync, you are fucking stupid and ignorant to the max. Your shit gets hacked a day or two after it hits the streets. Dont be so fucking arrogant. Now I have to decide if your junk is worth hacking or if I should just send it back.


Just based on the above two issues my 6 year old MSI player is vastly superior to a brand new Zune. Add to the that unpleasantly simple controls and UI, and you have a huge suck ass product on your hands.
The only good things I have to say are the excellent audio quality and relatively fast transfer speeds AFTER I got all the bullshit software installed and updated. But now I know to be more selective and discriminating in my purchases. Oh, and the digital FM tuner is actually pretty nice. It finds stations in a split second, but I wish I could save favorites.

My Sansa Clip+ works nicely, but I believe my requirements are rather different.
