Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:41:00 -0700 Hi. Here is my ideal audio player. User replaceable and purchasable batteries, at this time that means Double A or some such or if not the player should come with an extra battery and a charger for that one as well as internal charging. Line in socket with plug-in power available, eliminating the need for separate mic in and line in jacks. Either hard drive based easily accessible for replacement or MicroSD expantion with Rockbox and bootloader being the only things on the player. FM radio. I personally don't see a need for bluetooth or wireless. It seems pointless to develop a stack of whatever sort when only one player can use it, unless there will be future development for the Microsoft player or the new Samsungs. If there will be bluetooth/wifi, there will have to be a port of the ESpeak plug-in for blind users. Navigating wireless devices with pre-recorded clips is going to take up an incredible amount of memory for all the prompts and such. Software wise, Rockbox is good. I see no need to change anything. Removable drive support is the way to go. Most players will support creation of playlists and synchronizing to removable storage devices with a plug-in if not natively.
