As soon as 64GB SDs come out, I'm getting rid of my ipod and picking up one of these!
I own a 6Gen ipod classic and like most of the features it has except for the rating system
I would like to rate songs on my portable and have it added to "My top-rated songs" (or whatever it is) automatically. This would be for **** and ***** -rated songs. For me this would be excellent because when I'm playing songs on shuffle (I'm assuming this new device has a shuffle function), there are sometimes songs I've never heard before that I want to add to the top-rated playlist. In retrospect I should make a seperate playlist and manually add them, but this can be difficult while operating a motor vehicle
Sync'ing portables is a great idea, but it should be able to sync both ways (as in the above example) at least for playlists. Rating songs on my ipod is useless because I can never find them again. CRY!!!
I'm not sure if sync'ing fits with removable memory. I guess not, but do you understand my point?
Would it be possible to do two SD slots, one with your music (ie Songs A-J) and the other dedicated to storing your playlists?
An option to view all of a song's tags might be useful as well.
Also, the one thing I love about the ipod, and probably others as well, is that you can select which menu's you want to be available. An example would be choosing to display the "video playlists" menu and not display the "games" menu. This way you can streamline the menu tree to your liking. Rockbox has been mentioned... although I don't know much about it, it would be nice to have this option.
