I wonder what the difference is other than maybe .flac. I use only .flac files for my music and it works pretty well. I listened to it for 2.5 hours straight today and for the most part it was uninterrupted. I was listening to Texas blues radio last night for a while and it was perfect. I can't get Rhapsody or Pandora yet. I don't get the popping at all, just an occassional drop out or the track will start over. Maybe I hit on the best nightly update :-) Thanks again for your help with the volume and speaker hacks.
