The MPEG player included with the Sansa is sucking so I would like to check out the MPEG plugin for Rockbox. The Sansa Media Converter is pretty useless. For example I grabbed a 30 minute TV episode and ran it through the converter. The converter changes the orientation 90 degrees and converts to a Quicktime file, but the resulting file is still close to the size of the original. I think they didn't bother to reduce the resolution during the conversion, it should have reduced the final file size significantly. When I get tired of Rhapsody I will check it out.
