I used to not mind taking the time to convert videos for my old D2 but now I'm too used to dragging and dropping DVD quality files onto my S9 and them playing without a hitch. However in almost all other aspects Sony has a very strong player on their hands, a worthy contender to the Cowon S9 and Samsung P3 (The iTouch is excluded from this list as these types of players aren't really aiming for the masses, more then enthusiasts and audiophiles who care about sound/video quality).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gnormie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 5th 2009 2:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-oled-walkman-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-oled-walkman-impressions/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agreed on the video resolution.

I now have a touch HD and okay the screen is 3.8 rather than 3 inches, but that handles 800 x 480.

E.g.  ATRAC has always been gapless (having roots in CD dubbing).  MP3 is not, although LAME hacked on (i.e. non-spec) support for doing gapless playback if your MP3 decoder can read the gapless hints that LAME provides.  AAC is not gapless, however the MP4 container does support gapless playback, ergo you *can* do gapless playback of AAC as long as it's in an MP4 container.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[archie4oz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 5th 2009 3:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-oled-walkman-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-oled-walkman-impressions/</guid><description><![CDATA[@archie4oz Apple can develop gapless playback for MP3 and AAC.

It is very important to have some form of lossless (and I believe that Sony does, it just does not support FLAC), however I would much rather have my music sound good rather than have it lossless. Why would you have all of your tracks (or a decent amount) in FLAC if you do not have a PMP that sounds good. That is like putting Nos on a cheap car.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JohnWesleyHarding]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 5th 2009 8:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-oled-walkman-impressions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-oled-walkman-impressions/</guid><description><![CDATA[So long as the device makes sound that resembles the track it's supposed to be playing, most consumers don't actually care about sound quality.<br><br>My friends' music libraries are - for the most part - full of badly tagged MP3s averaging the 128k mark. Mention 'FLAC' or 'lossless' to them, or try to explain why a 320k MP3 will sound better than the 128k equivalent, or how Apple continue to sell them sub-standard rips through iTunes, and they look at you like your head's just fallen off.<br><br>Considering a lot of kids rarely use headphones and play music at high (and horribly distorted) volumes through their appalling-quality mobile phone speakers while walking down the street or travelling on public transport, sound quality doesn't make a lot of difference.<br><br>I still have to agree though - good sound quality + gapless = perfect.

The Cowon A3/O2 doesn't have HD res screen, but they support playback of 720p res videos. More and more video online are available at least in 480p or 420x240 (iPhone/Touch friendly).
