Well then somebody's measurements are off, because the iPod is way smaller than the M1.

Hmm. Now I found: 3.15 x 4.62 x 1.15" (80 x 117.3 x 29.3mm) ... (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/147599-REG/Sony_PCMM1_PCM_M1_Portable_DAT_Walkman.html)

This comparison looks wayyy better!

well, today I got an answer from M-Audio tech support in regards to the 2 GB file limit and a possible autosplit feature.

here is the relevant text from a couple of emails:

Jason,

The FAT32 file format has a 2GB limit for an individual file.
We plan on releasing updates for this product through out it’s life cycle. Although we cannot give more information at this time, please check back for updates.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Take Care,

LE

and after further questioning:

Yes, the file split feature will be implemented in the next few weeks with
an update we are releasing.

So, there's our answer.  I hadn't seen any info about this yet, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it here for everyone.

Sounds good to me, but since when has FAT32 been limited to 2 gigabyte files?

always has been that way...whenever I tried to write a file bigger than 2 Gb in FAT32 it would lock up...since changing to NTFS, I have not had a single problem

[John Kelly]

Ah, I was thinking of NTFS.  My bad.

this thing looks so goddamned awesome.

[John Kelly]

Not yet, very soon though.

[zhianosatch]

i eagerly await your review, john!

[John Kelly]

I doubt I'll be the first one to get it, but I'll DEFINITELY post my review as soon as I get my hands on one.  Already have the 4 gig card ready.

ray, you have a 722, what the fuck do you need another 24-bit device for

chill out and save some damn money bud

Yes, I agree...  Dump some of that stuff and pick up another hobby like digi-photos...  Having an awesome digi-SLR to do visual as your MG>722 does the audio would be very nice...
