There is a little tag that pops up as you move the dot around the graph that shows dB and frequency. Have to say it isn't to helpful though as it is covered by my finger half the time and is really hard to be precise when it doesn't snap or anything.

It has been quite humid for the past week, which was why I was concerned in the first place. You're probably right though, no orange spots. 

Bit concerned about something I just noticed today, I think my drivers are rusting.   I haven't noticed any changes in sound, however I'm concerned it could develop into something more. Anyone else have this or is it just me?

^ Mind explaining why?

  ^ Mind providing the quoted price? A remould would be nice if my SM3 housing ever died.   If you can get the repair you want from earsonics then I say go for that. Remoulds would just involve too much hassle for a cable problem. Only thing I'm concerned about is the killer shipping costs...

Great review, as always. Just a few questions. Have you tested the battery life yourself or is the indicated 21 hours just from the specs? Also, does the unit feel very solid or more loose? I find the J3 very solid compared to the S9.

The cable on the UM2 is excellent enough that its failing shouldn't be a concern as long as you don't treat them exceedingly harshly. Assuming that the cable on the DLX version of the SM2 is the same as the SM3, the SM2 falls into the same category.

^ Yes

Ah thought it was like that, thanks again. 

Thanks for the quick reply.  Whats the difference between flush and recessed sockets?

^ Can you buy the cables straight from them or do you have to buy them separately? 

  Quote: Hmm, the screenshots didn't load for me earlier so to clarify: The Album Art coverflow thing can only browse through the "Albums" alphabetically as far as I know, but the text based file browser can do the all the tags. 

^ Yes it can navigate through Genre, Album and Artist but cannot browse through Album Artist

I thought so too, but looking at pictures there seems to be a bore for noise to go through.  I could be completely off though, heh. 

Just looking around, are these the same ones?  Not sure since they come with filters.

I don't think theres a way around converting some files, .mkv among them, but the J3 can take the others well.    Just for reference, the custom uci's with excellent coverflow speed here and the music uci here.   I do think there are other players with more support with video playback...

Just quickly checking my J3, I don't think you can browse by album artist, but the other tags seem fine.   The J3 does have support for browsing by cover art out of the box, but its in grid style thing and lags terribly. There is a great custom browser and music screen for it though, but...

I love rockbox.

^ The .zip I downloaded has an aero music folder with alt_covers.  I think theres support for personalised alt album art and the pictures are samples.

Somebody has been having too much fun    Thanks for the quick updates.

Its actually happening...  I've just about given up on my classic, its been collecting dust for over a year now. Nice to know things are finally moving along.

Wow, lucky me. Caught the postman on my way out. Got it then and there.

Oh well, at least I know it will get here eventually.  ^ Tracking would be heavenly right now. haha

If theres a workaround like the one above I might end up getting this after all. Awesome.
