What is Waffle Iron quality, and how exactly is it better than any other standard out there?

I'm not trolling, honest question.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check out the D2.

And actually, I think I'm going to look for a Cowon that only plays audio. I'll never watch video on a little tiny screen(I never do on my Zune), and the absence of video will cut costs.

You have an recommendations for a good audio only Cowon? I don't care if it can play FLAC, I"ll never listen to FLAC from a portable player. But I would like it if it allows all the other formats, especially OGG. Drag n Drop is a necessity too(the reason I'm ditching the Zune, I hate the computer software), and touch screen would be a plus. But definitely not a necessity.

Thanks.

Basically, Waffle Irons are a group of members with advanced ripping/encoding knowledge. You can submit your FLAC rips (log and cue sheet files included) to them, and if approved, your rip won't be able to be trumped by any other upload. More info here:

I'm not a member on Waffles, so I can't see that specific document, I guess.

It sounds kind of normal, though. Isn't the same concept of providing your EAC rip log, and 100% check logs? If so, then that's available elsewhere, there's nothing really "special" about it, is there? Perhaps the volume of torrents make it so special.

EDIT: And, of course, thanks for the information, Anon. :)

I don't know, and to be honest I don't care. I rarely download lossless music anyway, and when I do I prefer to trust that the sole presence of the torrent on Waffles means it's a good rip regardless of being "Waffle Iron-approved" or not.

Sansa Clip + .. loads of ppl swear by it .. No fancy shit .. Can play all music formats and is cheap(or Value for money) too .. Plug this in with some low cost Amps like Fiio E3 or E5 and you are good to go with some avg headphones like Nuforce ones Ne-6,Soundmagic pl-30,50 Senns Cx-300 etc ..

there is a huge difference between WI & 100% what logs. WI is a team of people, logchecker is a skynet bot. example - you can check babsy8 uploads, the guy just has a bad drive that in most cases does the random offset. WI team stripped their tag from the guy's uploads, at what.cd it is still 100% /i reported his rips to both companies/
of course there's a room for fakes, cheating - even at a place like pedro's, so sometimes it won't hurt to take a look at different things related to particular uploader, to AR if applicable etc...

That actually looks pretty cool. And I always read good things about Sansa's. Unfortunately it looks like these only go up to 8GB. And I'm looking for at least 16GB, or more. I don't want to have to constantly swap out music.

Thanks for your help apex. I'll just keep looking around until I find something that's going to fit my needs.

EDIT: I just looked at it a bit more, and it does use miscrosd cards. So I can go way past 8GB. And I really like how tiny this thing is. If the sound quality is good then I might get it.

Any others that have a high level of lossless music?
