I cant say I've tried it. I'm kind of avoiding it to be honest though curiosity will get the better of me eventually..

I know on the first use it will probably seem fun and amazing and I would want to buy it, but deep down it means being locked into itunes....

Reason I stopped using my 2nd gen ipod like 8 years ago was the requirement to use ID3 tags to browse songs. its great when you rip a CD, but when you download random tracks, and realise that hundreds of mp3s in your collection are not visible on the device(although still there) because the creator of the song never bothered to add correct ID3 tags, or compilation cds have added 20 - 30 artists for every cd x 100 compliation cds....

Ever since then I have had a requirement that any device I own has a folder structure to dump songs into, and that folder structure is to be browsed to play songs
