I wouldn't count on lossless files with anything but the larger capacity
players.  Try for 320 KBPS. mp3 files.  I rip all my stuff to lossless as
well but I have to convert to a smaller size with my players.

High Albert,
Thank you for posting this!
I have a cell phone that doubles as an MP3 player, but I'm not to happy with
it.
So I am looking for another MP3 player and or Ipodder.
Preferencely, 1 that will play lossless audio files such as WMA or wave.
But it has to be user friendly for me, a blind person.
So I will read this review while hitting both the internet stores and loco
stores alike as well.
My best regards.
  John.
