i have this
archos mp3 player, basically a six gig usb hard drive. i'm a huge fan (neo? too big and ugly. nomad? sdmi. ipod? better windows/linux support. and now that my archos' warranty is expired, i can put a 20 or 30-gig drive in it, aww yeah), but its largest flaw, in my view, is the use of an
utterly non-standard usb cable. they don't have it at places like best buy and compusa and circuit shitty (though, like, circuit shitty doesn't have jack. i loathe that place. it's way too much of a throwback to the sleazy old-style electronics store of yore, rather than the home-depot-inspired warehouse model that seems to work for everybody from
wal-mart to world market--cc's success, such as it is, is an argument against any ideas about 'informed consumers.')
in the hip-hop music of the future, will there ever be a point that prince samples occupy the same place that james brown samples used to? i certainly hope so.
