Well, like I said! It's totally up to everyone what he/she prefers
okay, the classic should be the worse of the too... well, the touch has a little bass hump whereas the classic is nearly totally neutral in its frequency response.
furthermore the classic is one of a few players having virtually no bass-roll-off, like the D2 for instance... it's just FLAT e.g. neutral sounding.
Indeed, there are not only a few people who don't like its sound signature but like i said: it's very subjective, nobody has to be convinced
The EQ sucks on every ipod but try to mp3gain your files and there is no problem anymore
Sry, I can't try the zune, cause in good old germany and everywhere outside of u.s. nothing is available
I'm not mourning^^
Well, I dont want to convince you nor try it. There are enough ipod flame & fanboy-thread but for me the classic is one of the best sounding players out there, far better then the D2... e.g. the D2 is useless in combination with a pair of triple.fi due to its bass-roll-off

Waiting for the Touch V2 so I can hear what it's REALLY supposed to sound like. Then comes the amp and a set of Audio Technicas.
Also, shigzeo speaks of the Zune EQ being better than the ipod, but that's all. The Zune V2 has no EQ and sounds better than the classic AND touch. Try 1 for yourself and see - clean SQ with NO distortion. Wonderful really, just needs an LOD w/amp and it's darn near PERFECT!
I have the D2 and A829 & BOTH have great EQ's, neither player shines without them. And the D2's sound sig is my fav. Sony sounds more artificial and hollow, but still better than the touch. Even the P2 is leagues ahead in terms of SQ compared to the touch and classic.
