A very candid response - thanks. Regarding your comment on "Android can't really support decent audio playback", can you elaborate? The built it stuff is limited, true. I have personal experience with two music players using my Xoom running Andriod Honycomb 3.2 that seem to work quite well. There's a music player called "Power Amp" which works quite well and does gapless playback of both LAME mp3 and FLAC. Then there's SqueezePlayer which acts like a squeezebox player on your Android device. Again, this does gapless playback for FLAC (and possibly LAME mp3 - though I haven't tried that). -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch, SqueezeCommander on Xoom.
