While I'd agree one needs to make an effort to read your messages as a whole, which part of your statement did I cherry pick? My quote of your post
included the part which you then re-quoted yourself and highlighted in red while accusing me of cherry picking. Unbelievable!
Yes we all know some players have certain restrictions, and I didn't argue with it because it's obviously true, yet irrelevant to my point. Let me clarify things for you....
"Today the things got a lot improved, there are portables that play most of "former-PC-only" formats"
I was referring to the same "former" PC only formats which you now admit many standalone devices can play, while only a week or so ago you were pontificating about industry standard formats and the likelihood of being huddled around a PC monitor if you used anything else.
