iPod The Fabulous "New Zune"

[Mr Skills]

And when they said 50%, they are referring to 50% of max volume I assume. What else can it be.

You're missing my point: how loud is "max volume" on each device? By setting each one at 50%, they are likely not comparing them at equal volume. And even if each device had the same max volume, they are still assuming that each device uses the same volume scale. It's kind of the same principle as this.

Basically, it's a typical blog test that is making a back-of-an-envelope attempt to be 'scientific', but hasn't quite thought it through fully enough.

So whats that? People don't like iTunes? I'm using it on both OSX and XP (yes! using it on Windows optionally!) and I've yet to find it slow, bloated or anything bad even on my 300gb library. Had some slowdowns whilst my library was stored on an external drive but it's pretty perfect for me. Best app out there for managing such a large library.

It's a shame Apple don't offer some kind of license to MP3 manufacturers to have iTunes work with their products. That would solve the problem of using Zunes on OSX. But after seeing and trying one in person I don't know why anyone would get one, but that's just me .
