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?

320kps MP3's from my MP3 player sound great on my studio monitors. I don't know why anyone calling themselves and audiophile would listen to crap.
The best part about the mini USB cable is everyone's got one and I have one that can fit in my wallet. It also makes it so I only need one cable for my camera MP3's player and GPS. I can go to my buddies house and grab something off his computer without need any special software or syncing up.
MP3's players should not need 300MB+ bloatware for them to work.
