MP3 music at 64k is unlistenable to me. It sounds glitchy and warbly. 128 is better but still some annoying artifacts. 192 sounds basicly good, I don't really notice artifacts, but it seems "flat" (flat as in lack of depth, not pitch). 256 and higher starts adding back most of the depth to the...

I lost interest in comparison listening for a while, but I recently came back to the 2 players still loaded with music. I started listening on speakers and I'm surprised at what a clear difference I hear between the ogg vorbis 8 encoding and flac. No contest. [The clarity of the speakers has...

If you want to start with a cmoy, I really recommend the BB cmoy JDS Labs, although you'll learn more doing one according to the tangentsoft directions. I'm not keen on the idea of a A47 as a first project, there are pitfalls and it's not well documented (compared to other projects being...

I'm with the OP. I don't see the reason for a touch screen on a music player. Or even on a video playback device. I see why it would be good for web surfing or game play on a hand held, but I do very little of that stuff. The other thing I don't like about touch screens is they always seem...

I suppose it's one of those rumors that people latch on to just because we really want it to be true. And it just makes sense for Sansa to make a new clip that's compatible with their slot music and slot radio cards.
