For Christmas, my wife had me buy myself an MP3 player.  I ended up picking up the Sandisk Sansa m140.  Rather than go into the long, boring story of it all, let's just say I'm less than thrilled about its playlist limitation of 270 items and the totally clueless outsourced tech support who couldn't tell me why the playlists were limited to 270 items.  In fact, they didn't even know you could put playlists on the device via Windows Media Player.  I love it when I know more than the tech support drones.

While we're on the subject of less-than-stellar Media Player/Sandisk Sansa experiences, let's talk about syncing the device with Media Player.  Media Player actually copies new content to the device before it deletes old content.  That's right, it can't finish syncing up-to-date podcasts and random auto playlists because it runs out of space. Is this a Media Player thing? Can I expect the same thing to happen with any MTP (Plays for Sure) device?

I'm beginning to think I should have followed the crowd on this one - It looks like the iPod people have got it figured out.

Oh, and Scott Hanselman's podcast rocks.
