Or maybe not - the salespeople tend to only know what management has 
told them in too many cases.  When I got an MP3 player there (an 
iAudio), I was told that it wouldn't properly play .wav files, but in 
fact it does with no problem whatsoever.  In my life so far, what sales 
people say is wrong 80% of the time......

Assuming it is right though.... is it a firmware issue?  I wonder if 
there are aftermarket firmware downloads that would fix the problem?
