True enough, though it will play AIFF files if you don't mind using all that space. But what does it cost to be an audiophile these days? Last time I checked, it was like $10,000. My new 60 gig iPod now has over 9,000 songs on it, with plenty of space remaining, and it would take almost 31 days to play the contents from beginning (2 Live Crew) to end (The Zutons). And it sounds pretty damned good.

Only if you've got noise-cancelling headphones! I wish it would drown out the awful "musicians" in the subway.
