Around May I wanted to get a Digital Music player and was opting for the Ipod, but the price threw me off slightly (didnt have a job at the time) and its battery horror stories swayed me over to get the RIO Karma instead. I've enjoyed the Karma a lot, with its great support for FLAC and ogg vorbis, but the mistifying iPod has lured my eye and is tempting me at the moment. Maybe it's all the press it's getting, or the dedicated community of 3,000,000+ that's luring me in, or just the hipness factor of it (especially in the metro setting). I figure I can get at least $230 for my Karma on eBay, since its in great condition being only a couple months old and I also have a really nice carrying case as well. The 4th gen iPod is debuting in about a month and the 20gb model will retail for $299 (and thats retail mind you ;-) ), so it wouldn't be all of an expensive upgrade. I'm happy with what I have, but theres just something about the iPod that is making me think twice about keeping my current player. Any thoughts? THANKS
