Hi, Where does this little guy rank on the sound quality meter? What chip does it use?

I just got done trying a Sony 8 gb 438 player, whose sound quality was excellent, but I want a rating system and on the go playlists, etc.

Zune still does not support unicode, right?

Thanks

Wow, so the Flash 16 gb has the same sound quality as its big bro, the 120 and 80 gb models? The 80 has been praised for its SQ but the Flash version not so much, correct?

They have the same SQ, according to the numerous responses I got in the Zune users thread when I posted the same question a while ago.

It might be talked about less because there are a lot more flash-based competitors (Sony, Cowon, Sansa, Apple, iRiver) for the flash Zunes than the hard-drive based ones, who only really compete with Apple. So when people are looking for a flash MP3 player, they might ask about up to 6 popular players, whereas people looking for a popular hard-drive player will only really ask about two.
