The 500277 model does have USB2. I do not know what other reasons Björn had for pointing me towards this version vs. the newer V2 that you got. Maybe others can say more. ----- Original Message ----- From: "H C" <hccebay_at_yahoo.com> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 11:15 PM Subject: Re: What is the opinion on the best MP3 players now? > Say, why is the older model preferable to the Recorder > V2?
