@FreeZ5: Yeah I know all that... I meant battery capacity in mAh...

@The DarkSide: I still need some time to decide which player to get...Sony or Sansa..ummmm

@JK98: How much time does a Fuze take to refresh its library when a big 16 or 32 GB with 10+GB music is loaded?

W/my 32gb micro SD card I guess about 5-7min. It only refreshes when you either update the songs on the player, or swap out cards - so it's not an issue when restarting the player.

Thanks.
And how do you play m4b audiobook files on sansa?
Does RB support it?

[The DarkSide]

I don't do audio books - sorry!!!

Rockbox supports AAC (which includes M4A, M4B, MP4 container suffixes). Of course DRMed crap won't work, only clean files.

I am curious as to what you find so annoying about it?

First of all, I like leaving the earphones plugged in all the time. With the Fuze, I need to unplug the earphones to press the release on the cable plug. With the Clip+, I can use the tiny usb cable that came with my usb battery packs. If I want to use a usb battery pack with a Fuze, I need to carry the huge Fuze cable with me.

I have the Sony E354- supposed to get 50 hrs. run time....but doesn't get anywhere near it. (But still gets way more than the Clip)- of course, in a test where it was just sitting on a table it might get the 50 hrs. but in the real world, the controls are very sensitive, and thus the screen is always being activated (even when you have it set on "hold")- which I'm sure has something to do with it. Great player if you don't mind the sensitive controls. I've actually got mine for sale for $50 + $15 for international Priority shipping or $6 domestic. It's barely two months old and in perfect shape.....been charged three times.
