I'm looking to buy a Digitalway MPIO FL100 512 MB Silver Titanium MP3 Player from amazon.comFirmware Upgrade I was looking at the specs and this came up.

"Firmware Upgrade of Digitalway makes a change the product. You may use not FL100 after 1 year. You may not know how FL100 is changed. We provide a convenient upgrade environment by adding download software to the function of Firmware Upgrade ."

Does this mean if i dont upgrade the firmware within a year i can't use the player?

Digitalway have badly written that statement and makes little sense :/

i think im just going to look for another MP3 player - if a company can't clearly state something it's must be a bad sign lol.

Any suggestions on MP3 players?

I'm also thinking about getting an MP3 player as well. Apple's iPod and Creative's Nomad Jukebox Zen NX is what I have in mind at the moment.

One question - can you write to either of thsoe as a harddisk. Also can you just copy the songs over or do you have to use the supplied software.

being an ipod user myself. you can send files accross to the harddrive using windows explorer, you just cant add songs to play. they are unser a hidden folder and cant be modified without using itunes, musicmatch or an other program. with a 20 gig hardrive, you can afford to make double of your songs.

For the price of a 15 gig ipod (299) i can get a Creative Labs NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra Digital Audio Player with 40.0GB Hard Drive for also 299 dollars. Is the ipod that much better or is it over priced because it is thw 'Hot Item"

I heard Ipod has some games in it
I have jukebox zen xtra 30GB it has no games in it
I bought it for $266 from amazon
