I meant I object to it on the principal of it being proprietary, I agree with you entirely on the subject of quality. So long as you use a decent bitrate, be it average or fixed, it's going to sound fine.

I think the firmware you're thinking of is rockbox. Imo it's way better than the default ipod firmware in many ways but it's biggest trump card is that you can just drag and drop your files rather than being forced to use that heaping pile of shit that is itunes. Unfortunately I have to use the default firmware though as rockbox doesn't support the use use of the use connection for remote controls like the one in the sleeve of my jacket.
