Most cover services (iTunes included) use much larger images that the Dare doesn't seem to recognize.

My first impression of my Dare was actually that the music sounded quite tinny in comparison to my iPod Touch. I played around with the equalizer settings a bit, and the only setting that seemed to minimize the tinny sound was the Pop setting (even though the music I have playing is instrumental and about as far from pop as can be). Also, out of curiosity, have you been having difficulty with album art and/or album info when transferring them to your Dare? Interesting observation on the music player’s sound.

It has better bass and mid-range support than my iPod did. 2) You can do just about anything while listening to music (web, email, text, tools, etc...) The only things I found that pause the music is taking a call (obviously) and playing games (because they use their own sounds) 3) I forgot to mention MobileIM support in my original review. One thing the iPhone is greatly lacking is support for MSN Messenger and Yahoo. The Dare can access both of those and AIM. 4) Rhapsody music is supported. Since Rhapsody now has $0.99 DRM-free MP3s this is an amazing feature! I found a few other features I absolutely love on the Dare.
