And yet one still can’t easily drag and drop music files into an IPod……god damn it Apple……..
which is what makes an ordinary mp3 player easier to deal with than an Ipod. For one’s (newer) car, just a simple thumbdrive. And in the case of the mp3 player/thumbdrive, you’re listening to YOUR music, not theirs
If I could end up getting a mp3 player as durable as the 3rd gen IPod Touch minus being locked into ITunes I’d be content.
