The math yields 28 days. You crank out 21 by crossing back and forth between one measure (number of songs) and another (number of minutes) and then choosing a song-length that suits you. Besides, even at 21 days your leap to the conclusion that it should have said 30 hours was off by more than 19 days.

Cass.......There is no embellishment. The PR states "40 GB model can store over 10,000* songs". Notice the word over.

It still may compute to more than 30 days.

What is it you originally said. 30 hours, you were short by about 20+ days no matter how you calculate it. Would you call that misleading the readers?

Yes, that is terrible isn't it? Thank goodness you are there to show us the bad in edigital.
But on a positive note, at least it gives you (regarding the PR's that are coming out) something NEW to nit-pick about other than the same old stories we've been so accustomed to reading.
Of course this is only my opinion, but more than likely shared by others.

Cass, comprehend THIS:
"Yesterday Apple unveiled their new music service, “The Apple iTunes Store” with the traditional hype and fanfare. Apple is using the Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format at 128kbps."

Furthermore, 128KBPS is the most commonly used MP3 encoding rate, since it represents the best compromise between quality and capacity.

The Reviewer clearly stated he was ripping MP3 files.

You can't compare the quality of a MP3 file at 128KB with the WMA format e.Digital is using at 128KB.

EDIG boards and other stock boards ie FPLY/OBJX have posted countless reviews of how the quality of a 128KB Mp3 file is more like at 96KB WMA file over the past years.

Please learn this stuff if you wish to keep up.
