Other benefits: The clip and form factor are good for workouts. Installing Rockbox firmware makes tinkering more fun, adds sound options like EQ, compression and pitch correction, and allows greater file compatibility. The only downside if you're a former Apple user: No ALAC. If you have numerous ALAC files, you'll have to convert them to FLAC. Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 06-27-2014 at 01:59 AM. |

That's one of the other upsides for me. I can take my running podcasts with me on actual runs, rather than be tied to indoor-only exercise while running them off my Kindle Fire It worked for the short-term, in the winter, but now it's time to get outside.
Thankfully, I ran MP3s on my iTouch for most of my music and audiobook files (barring the "get this album free" promotions iTunes sometimes had). When I got my Fire, I singled out the ones that weren't compatible, so my library should be good to go now. The player should arrive today, so I'm looking forward to some after-work load-up of songs and books and podcasts! |

BTW, if it is like the Fuze, if you have a CD you can rip it into a file and it will play it, full quality. It just takes up a lot more room. That is 80 CDs worth on one 64GB card.
