You know what the $100 Sansa Fuze does that the $150 iPod nano doesn’t? It plays FLAC and OGG, now that SanDisk has released updated firmware for the little player. (Apple Lossless is cool and all, but trying finding—wink-wink—albums encoded with it online.)
The updated firmware, version 1.01.05 (yeesh, user-friendly numbering convention right there), also includes the usual bug fixes, as well as support for Audible’s AAX file format.
Hooray! Finally, a mainstream player that supports FLAC! This will be a very welcome consideration when I replace my Nano.
Defiantly my next MP3 player…though I throughly hate MP3 players in general. I would rather carry around an iPod ):
Ummm…an iPod is an MP3 player.
This is an awesome little player; toss the earbuds that come with it, they’re terrible; I’m using a pair of Koss in-ear buds, and the music quality is astounding. Sure, I don’t have golden ears nor anything like that, but I’ve never heard an ipod nor a zune sound as good.
