The 192k import default setting is way below compression required for eg classical music or electronica. Increase the bit rate and storage is vastly reduced. Little attention has been paid to sound quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583128.post-48590115136930220572011-06-29T22:42:32.043+00:002011-06-29T22:42:32.043+00:00I found your blog by Googling the name Les Floon. ...I found your blog by Googling the name Les Floon. If you were going to make up a name for a pseudo-review what copywriter would choose Les Floon?!<br /><br />Anyway, I once received the Advertising pack sent out by the Eye and, if I remember correctly, it says the average reader is male and in his 50s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583128.post-62752167773617474872011-06-12T12:43:42.087+00:002011-06-12T12:43:42.087+00:00It's absolutely a "generational" thi...It's absolutely a "generational" thing.<br /><br />What irks me about Brennan is the sliminess of his business plan. Put a simple UI and high price-tag on a folksy looking MP3 player and market it as somehow unique and amazing to a demographic unlikely to research it or its alternatives. It's a rip. <br /><br />And bollocks, I might add, do Les Floon's spawn look at him with "renewed respect" unless they seriously have no clue about Brennans, the trivial job they're doing, or even basic expectations of a home computer since, like, 1996. Perhaps he's kept them in a box. <br /><br />If Les Floon is to have any legacy, I hope it's not for shifting shitty Brennans but rather as a byword for smug, clueless user. E.g. "Jeez, only a total Les Floon would buy that." :)Niknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583128.post-46221465562222965402011-05-09T10:37:18.183+00:002011-05-09T10:37:18.183+00:00I think it's a spot on analysis - I don't ...I think it's a spot on analysis - I don't get why people have an iPhone (can forgive other smart phones with poorer sound) and an iPod to carry (I get having one in the house to an extent). One device to rule them all... It is a generational thing and something that is never going to change.<br /><br />In twenty years time 84% of our contemporaries will be using outdated products simply because they don't like change... hey ho I'll be attending a hologrpahic Glastonbury from my holiday home etc.<br /><br />Good postJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759717612685775152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583128.post-50067529325280797202011-05-06T14:34:45.197+00:002011-05-06T14:34:45.197+00:00agreed!

We have had a shared rant about this - I'm yet to meet anyone who does use it, but like you say it obviously meets the needs of some very well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082730261127979630noreply@blogger.com
