   That's sort of my point. To just flatly state that your similarly sized player holds twice as many songs, without pointing out that you're having to rip songs in at a much lower bit rate (and thus significantly reducing the sound quality) is disingenuous. If Apple advocated ripping files in at 64kbps, it would hold a similar number of songs per GB of space.
   
   Apple measures the number of songs by assuming they are ripped at 128kbps...a MUCH better sound quality and pretty much the minimum bit rate from any legitimate online downloading service. Like I said, I could probably pack 5000 songs on either player if I could rip them in at 32kbps mono...but I have this thing against crappy sounding music.

   Are their gigabytes larger than Apple's gigabytes. How in the world does their 4GB player hold double the number of songs? Well, heck...I can get quadruple the number of songs if I rip everything at 32kbps, mono, but is that really what people will do?
   
   Give me a break.
