Is that a usability superiority, or does it actually improve the audio quality? One thing that I'm sure lots of people would appreciate is a removal or lessening of the silence gap between tracks on the default Apple firmware. > It also allows you to use the iPod as a UMS device without being tied to > iTunes. One little point is that using software like XPlay (still with the default Apple iPod firmware) does allow the iPod music files to be accessed as a regular USB device. You don't need iTunes, and you can still use the Apple firmware, but you do need to buy XPlay. I know this is a bit off topic for RockBox, but I thought that some blind people might be interested in knowing that this XPlay solution does allow very good access to _any_ iPod from a PC; much better access than with iTunes. It is not an iPod-accessibility solution, more of an iTunes-accessibility solution.
