Six people? And the first listener said "definitely this one" and it was
the iPod... And CNET brands 4 to 2 a "landslide victory".

Wow. I'd expect that from Joe Blow blogger but CNET? C'mon ... pretty
shoddy.

yeah, come on CNET a test of 6 people? How bogus can you get.

Bottom line:

The iPod hasn't been updated for a LONG time uses the sound chip:
Wolfson Microelectronics WM8758

The Zune which is less than a year old:
Wolfson Microelectronics WM8978G

The Zune will behind again once the widescreen iPod is released in
September. It's called leapfrog and the Zune has a tiny difference in
quality at the moment.


Zune CRUSHES the iPod in sound quality. Just like every other 2 dollar MP3 player. Everything Apple makes is *** in shiny plastic. Anyone who buys Apple products is so incredibly stupid I feel sorry for them.
