Seems Microsoft have developed some earth shaking new technology. This from the Microsoft web shop :

Preorder is available from August 13, 2009 until September 15, 2009.

A credit card is required for preorder, but your card will not be charged until the product is made available for download.

Soon we will have discussions on how physical players can't keep up with imaginary players...

Oh wait, we already have that.

Just hope they can keep the device clear of insects... we all know how that turned out for Jeff Goldblum...

I honestly was hype about the Zune HD until I found out that it won't be supporting flac. Very disappointing indeed.

No way in hell it would support FLAC. That's a given.

Nope, it's going to be crap. No lossless support of any kind, with the exclusion on WMA "lossless", which sounds bad anyway. Not worth the money.

I'm surprised Microsoft could do something so brainless as to not appeal their new piece of excellent technology to the audiophile community. I don't think getting lossless support on the damn thing could have been so hard, could it have been? Come on, Microsoft.

Um... WMA lossless sounds bad? You are going to tell me you can tell the difference between WMA, FLAC and ALAC? [ahem]

Personally, I think putting lossless on a DAP is a waste of space but to each their own. As long as they offer at least 32gb, I'm good. What would be very appealing is if they offered 64gb.
