Basically the Idea is a good one. The probuct mostly works ok. Now looking at the problems. If you place a folder of MP3's into the playlist directory the unit creates a database listing of the files available. The unit shits itself when you accidently add a m3u file. thats ok cause you can just go and delete the m3u file and everything is detected ok. I dont know if it does the same thing for other file types.
The sound quality is as you would expect from a mp3 player except for the pauses that it occasionally places whilst playing a file. You do have an equalizer which helps tonally.
|
Problems: Database creation fails when m3u files are placed into the unit. (Really annoying) Took ages to work this out.
Whilst playing a song, the unit intermittently pauses for up to 200ms. Doesn't happen all the time but it does and that is a unit killer.
Maybe they should have tested there firmware before releasing it to the public.
In short its another half baked product that doesnt fully meet the specification that you would have if you went to buy a music player.
Pauses occur on mp3 320k, 250k, 192k, 146k,128k. On a typical song of about 4 minutes the unit pauses about 4 times when played at 320k, when playing at 128k fails around 0 to 1 times.
Another wast of time product. This product does not playback mp3s correctly as advertised.
Firmware version on the unit I am using is V1.0.6

| Nice light weight. Plenty of sound volume. Excellent battery life - I haven't listened to it for 24hrs straight but I'm thinking it could handle 24hrs at full volume, 'no problem'. I use maximum quality when ripping my CD's and the quality of playback is exceptional. |
Problems: I had to return one because the battery fried itself.
There is a second or so delay when skipping ahead tracks, meaning, you can't hit the 'skip track' button 3 times and skip ahead 3 tracks. You must press it one at a time, wait for the song to start and then skip the next one, etc.
Integrating with Windows Media Center/Player: Album cover art sometimes doesn't synchronize if you let Media Player download the art from the internet itself when ripping your CD's. You have to manually download the cover art and override the one that Media Player downloaded within Media Player before synchronizing.
Standard headphones fall out of my ears, even with foam covers!
Lack of playlist support. |
