iloveboxcars Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Did you ever get the hang of Linux? That's what Rockbox is based on, so be advised that you might want to get a used player and see what you can do with that. Here's a player with .flac support- http://www.techgoondu.com/2009/04/21/new-philips-mp3-player-has-flac-support/ Personally, I think .flac files aren't really the way to go for a portable player. The DSPs in portables are rarely soundcard quality, and to get really good sound you'll have to use some nice headphones and that will drain the battery faster. Also, .flac files are bigger than mp3s, so you're not going to get as many songs on your player as you would otherwise. Yeah I'm aware of all that. I'm not planning to carry my entire library with me at all times so I'm not too worried about it. I went with the Creative Zen x-fi 2. And I am using the Monster Turbines (which are amazing). Not too worried about battery life at the moment. If I need to go on a long trip I'll just use the OEM headphones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B!G D Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 all day Erry day. I still have the first zune model and its been treating me good, I've heard people say they're not reliable but mines lasted for years and I've had no trouble. It still works and I'm thinkin about upgrading to the touch screen one. Anyone heard news on how they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
