[quote="rollinsjohn"]Thanks guys for your replies. I had been comparing the vedio reviews of both these players(T9 & OS-43) and I must say..I am begining to like the OS-43

. However I would like to confirm about two things]
The memory card integration is basically for the music player, if you have audio files on the internal memory and songs on your microsd card, the music player will automatically detect and sort songs from both memory sources to the library. Players that do not have this feature will only read music from the internal memory. This feature (obviously) useful for those that have a large audio collection or just want to have the luxury of having audio files on both memory sources.
Currently the OS-81 has this feature, but we are getting it for the OS-43. The S:Flo and LITE do not have this as they do not have external memory slots.
The SNS strip itself is actually just for show, it has no real properties, under it is a heat sensitive strip, so technically there is no real way to wear down the strip as you are never in any direct contact with it.
