Hey TackyTiger, thanks for the post. I haven't tried Rockbox, because it's installation is way, way beyond my paygrade. Even the website is difficult for me to understand. Though I hear it's great. But I also heard it does nothing to address the Playlist issue.
My goal is simply to have a quality player that I can attach to my PC and download playlists to, period. Of course, that's what an iPod is. But I'm looking for a player with high end components that I can use as a source to run my amp, not something I can take with me on the go using cheaper headphones. (I already have that in my HTC One phone obviously).
I'm surprised that 16 years after the iPod was introduced, it's still unheard of that you can get a simple, quality music player outside of Apple that's easy to use with a PC music player like iTunes, MediaMonkey, etc. But the new Pioneer / Onkyo models, and especially the new Fiio X5-III are trying to address that. Here's hoping...
