Re:Does not inspire confidence (Score 2, Interesting)

I've had a Karma for almost a year and I have never had any problems with it at all except that the index of one of the files on it messed up and it would not play a particular song once. This was easily fixed from within the player, so it was no big deal. I would say that the pros of this player are 1) It plays most formats, including Ogg Vorbis, 2) gapless playback, 3) very long battery life, 4) has no problem with Japanese filenames or ID3 tags, 5) a random shuffle mode that seems to know that the best followup to Jimi Hendrix is either Heino or Ugly Duckling's Meatshake. The main con I have for this player is that it doesn't have a line out built into the player itself (there is one on the cradle), so it does not sounds as good as it could in the car. Now watch the thing start on fire and burn down my office as soon as I post this....
