Lossless file doesnt reduce anything from the cd... It is the exact quality as listening direct from cd.. They are only compressed (like winrar).... That is why they are called "LOSSLESS"

But 1 file is 20mb+
I prefer using AAC format

Sansa clip? U can put flac in too

Google "sansa clip" . Its pretty much the next smallest mp3 player that has quality IMO

Its not replacement. Its alternative. When booting up can choose if u want to use rockbox fw or original fw

i never heard anyone say that sansa clip has low output.. In fact almost all that i read is positive views. It was even considered as top 5 player in 2010 at abi

if its earphone only then it is more then enough.. Unless you want to put it to a dangerous level

i think someone said that cuz he was using the clip with high impedance headphones.

Why dont you compare gumstick with cube C60

Up a bit more you get your self a J3

PMP doesnt do much difference. the quality of your headphones and the bitrate of your songs matter the most. at least thats how i feel.

I havent heard either c30 and clip+ but from my exp on gumstick (same housing as c30) you can hardly see the display when youre out under the sun. with clip+ you can rockbox so you can do many more features with it
