Cool I don't think I every listen to only 5 hours of music. It's normally more than 5 hours or less than 5 hours. Is it just me or is that line really badly written.

This story again, Steven?

Try reporting on the economy as it pertains to the tech sector. There's plenty of FRESH news there.

30 years ago they were saying the same thing about the Sony Walkman cassette player. How is this different?

I keep my Zune at volume level 7, even when mowing. Which is possible because of the great earbuds that came with the Zune.
