Re: Ipods
tuq/others:
I used to feel the same about Quicktime/iTunes. But it's not really that bad. QT's default file associations are only QT audio/video/picture files. It doesn't (anymore) try to take over mp3, avi, or any other common non-apple ones. The only minor annoyance is the taskbar icon, which is easy enough to disable with a right-click->settings. As far as iTunes - I don't really get the bad rap. I think it's a very good player. I don't even have an iPod. I'm weird - I use iTunes to manage my library/playlists, but listen to everything with Winamp. The only thing that stops me from using it as a player is that I can't shrink it down to a slim bar and/or auto-hide the playlist like winamp can. It does lack the open source add ons, but I don't think I even use any in Winamp. I love that it has built-in volume normalizer and gapless playback, which I could never seem to get working effectively in Winamp.

Re: Ipods
The expansion slot is a good idea. For one, some people specifically want a flash-based player vs a drive. For another, microSD capacities are going up so fast - a year from now you will probably be able to get at least 8gb cards, doubling the capacity of a nano.
Right now, people who bought a 2gb sansa a year ago can like quadruple their capacity for $25. That's a lot cheaper than going out and buying a whole new 30-80gb player.

Re: Ipods
Plus what makes a Nano great is their size. I don't want a slot for a memory card making the bigger. Plus it is going to cost $100 to jump the capacity up a few gigs, not worth it. I just change up the music on my Nano anytime i want to. You are never going to listen to 2000 songs the Nano can hold in between being by your computer.

QT had itself set as the default for dozens of media files, including things like .tiffs and AutoCAD. It was grabbing most everything.
