You should have purchased an ipod rather than a generic mp3 player is what I am getting at! Banghead

yes, Betamax had better quality than VHS but VHS won the format 'war'.

Sony pioneered Betamax but later were foced to produce VHS machines...

I read once that the reason VHS won was that the recording equipment was cheaper and the American porn industry favoured it for that reason.

My money would be on MP3 - it is an 'open' standard and doesn't require proprietary software (iTunes) to use...
