Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
If you don't own the CD then your use of the music is probably infringing someone's copyright as it is.
Well, that's not true..there is loads of non-DRM'd free and non copyright infringing music to be downloaded out there...

2. They are advertised to be just as good as MP3s. (I see the WMA 64KBPS == MP3 128KBPS comparison a lot.) a. Assuming that was actually true (or just taken seriously), a user would just twice as much audio on that device.

Â WMA comes standard on all most PCs these days with Windows installed. Â MP3's do too, but it's not the default rip setting.

Rockbox is not the default on any player either. People who manage to use it can manage to change a setting or use a good ripper instead of WMP.

Even if the claim were once true--and I've never seen any listening tests that show that it was--it is no longer so. The LAME codec has made huge strides since then.

Either way stop bashing wma
There are an awful lot of people out there who do use WMA. Maybe we are all dummies, as we have been called before, but like it or not, it's the default rip method in the operating system that 'owns' 90-something-percent of the market.

...my main objective was to say that marsdaddy has released his code.
