It frequently "freaks out" when you have Japanese, Chinese, or even European encoding on the tags. That makes for a very ugly, unreadable display. Even my Pink Floyd music ends up having crazy little symbols in the tags. Unacceptable. They said there would be a fix, but so far nothing. Also there is some good and bad navigation. It is so close to being perfect, and yet so far. L There are quite a few problems with this player that keep it from being one of the best players.

It's just drag and drop to get music on it in Linux. IN windows, I believe it syncs with Windows Media Player or drag and drop. $139.99 on sale this week.
