VBR rules. Constant bitrates are for lamers only. If you like music, you donīt hurt it!

I have an iPod shuffle and like it for the most part. The sound is great, but iTunes is abiet silly software. Example, new computer=music has to be recompiled and shit. Computer comes down with the holla back virus and loses all of your music=find it all again because you can't rip it off the iPod.
My friend and cousin have Zens, and while it's a brilliant data storage system, the sound quality is lackluster. I've never met anyone with an iriver, so I can't comment on that.
MilkmanDan:
You can get off te ipod again. There's a bunch of shareware programs that can do it, or just use the console.

I've heard that in terms of sound quality Iriver is miles ahead of the game. I had an iriver product once, however, and was less than impressed (One of their MP3 CD players. While this doesn't attest to the quality of their MP3 players it was disenchanting.) The ipod is still the best all around player, if only for its accessibilty and ease of use. I can't really comment on the Zen. I'm not a fan of the design.
I personally went with an ipod because I'm a mac user and it's just easier. I don't really have a problem with itunes, with the exception of the fact that itunes doesn't allow disc-at-once burning, so any continuous mix cd's I have don't sound right unless I mash all the tracks into one giant MP3.

Am I the only one who just wants to listen to the goddamn tunes?
