Re: What's the big deal? HA! Cheap? Settling? You are one of the easily gullible hoard. I own (by choice) a Rio Karma. It has higher fidelity sound, a 5-band, fully adjustable parametric equalizer, (for those of you that don't understand what a parametric equalizer is, it not only allows you to adjust the bias of the 5 bands, but it also allows you to choose the 5 bands you want to apply equalization to) it cross fades between tracks (that feature alone makes it better than any IPud - gapless playback!), it came with an excellent dock which has stereo RCAs out for easy, standard hookup to any stereo and it's software is easy to use and allows easy loading and offloading of tracks on any PC without concern for any type of DRM. Oh, did I mention that it plays MP3, OGG, APE, FLAC, WAV and WMA? 10+ hour lithium-ion battery (as my mileage indicates). Fits perfectly in your hand and allows for volume and track selection much easier and with less concentration than an IPud. I recently upgraded mine to 30gb and I wouldn't trade it for an IPud if you paid me.
Settling?

Get a grip on your simple, mass-marketed mind sir.

| First of all, the Karma is not ugly... but clearly your friend values aesthetics over all else. Wow, looks are really important in a music player. So does that mean that if apple comes out with the prettiest looking piece of tin sounded worthless plastic ever, that I should buy it? who cares about the way it looks? it's a f%*$ing music player, it outperforms the iPud, it sounds better and it's less expensive. Funny thing is that the (adult) people who work at my office who have iPuds like my Rio better because I have no issues transferring tunes to/from it without having to worry about syncing with iPudTunes. They also like the sound better, and the menu system and the crossfade between tracks. With my ugly Karma, I can go from track to track in my car without so much as a glance or second thought. Do that with an iPud... oh, wait, you can't... wow, but it looks great.
