I may be in the minority here, but I want plain UMS support, and the ability (when desired) to just browse my freaking directory structures and play by directory. Sorry, had to jump on the rant bandwagon.

My Zen Xtra + Headsave Go-Vibe + HD580 =

You said you were already set on buying, so the last few posts may be a moot point. IF not.... +1 on the Senn PX-100s. Love 'em. Gave PX-200s to my girlfriend, they're nice also, but I prefer the 100s, no question.

1. Senn HD580 2. Audio Technica ATH-A500 3. Senn PX-100 4. Sony MDR-EX51LP *cough* Whee, my first post in aaaaages and I'm already thinking I need some more 'phones. I knew there was a reason I ran off in the first place...

I concur with the Zens, but I should also point out that you CAN replace the iPod battery yourself. http://www.ipodbattery.com/

Quote: Originally Posted by ChickenScrtchBoy Note that the remote costs extra and is not bundled with the standard NJB3. Yeaah, I am factoring that in. I just like the idea that it's at least an option. I'm still not sure why they didn't make it available on the Xtra. It's just...

I used to use my MD recorder for recording minidiscs, then I mostly just used it for playing them. Ok, now that my smart@$$ comments are done, I actually got some good use out of using mine to record live music. Plus, I used it to record acoustic guitar and mix it into a computer. I really...
