I personally think all MP3 players sound like crap. I use my iPod (iPhone 4 actually) at work in a dock for music. Same thing in both of my cars (which have iPad docks and steering wheel controls to operate). I don't really care about which one sounds better since they all sound like shit compared to my home audio system, which is where I listen to music.
As an audiophile (I'm not the kind of audio buff that claims to hear the difference between $500 or $1,000 cables) I really enjoy my music. But only at home as anything else I listen to music on (my dock, my car, my earphones) is just for background. Kinda like listening to the radio. And for that any MP3 player on the market would do. So I'm going to get the one that operates how I like.
And having the ability to store files on my iPod or iPhone is of no use to me whatsoever. I have a USB thumb drive for that, and I keep it on my keychain. Why the hell would I want to carry around a USB cable just so I could attach my MP3 player to a PC to transfer files when I can simply plug in my thumb drive directly?
