Hi robthemac, did you ever find some replacement for the rubber O rings on your se846s? Cheers.

The sound quality on the AK120 is lovely but the battery is likely to be close to end of life so you're going to have to find a replacement. Have you considered doing an upgrade of the hard drive on the iPod to solid-state and then running Rockbox? This will give you FLAC support and a load of...

Anyone else using latest version of Windows 10 (10.0.18363) and seeing "Driver is unavailable" when connecting the R5 by USB?

Seems silly answering my own question, but it might be helpful for others... Found the answer over on Poweramp forum, just enable beep or vibrate on button press (in the Headset/Bluetooth setting). Obviously beep would be insane but vibrate enabled works just fine.

Poweramp users. Just wondering if any R5/Poweramp users have any tips on getting the control buttons (pause, prev, next) to work when the screen is off and Poweramp is running. I thought it was working fine but I might have been dreaming. Does it work for anyone else? Many thanks.

Hi Appreciate the suggestions. I've ordered a battery from China as it has been charged on two different chargers for a few hours before I made my post, it'll take quite a few weeks to get here so I'll have to use my phone for portable music till then. Probably won't bother as my phone sounds...

I'm writing this in the hope that someone will recognize the problem and offer a solution. My much loved AK120 appears to have died. I'd just copied a new album to it and was running a manual scan - the scan froze so I restarted the device. It switched off and won't switch back on. No power...

Ah, just went all nostalgic for my h120 with Rockbox - sadly dropped in the bath by my wife.  I'd love to see Rockbox on my ak120 as the playlist handling was perfect.

Shure told me that it would be in Self ridges by mid October. They have a page for it but out of stock.

  Charles Manson was right (about a couple things anyway) - "You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy."     No idea what Churchill or the UK and EU economy have to do with Shure's decision to delay the release of the SE846 here.

  I blame the parents. Wibble.

Does anyone know when the UK is going to be able to buy the 846?  I know various people are selling on Ebay but I'd rather buy from an authorised Shure dealer.

How often do you access your music using the MQS icon on the home screen?  It seems like an awful lot of screen space that could be used for something else - for example, a playlists option for when iriver release a firmware with usable playlist functionality.

Quote: Turned out to be a couple of damaged files preventing the indexing process from completing - I removed those and all is well.   That said, while troubleshooting the problem I installed iriver plus 4 to see if there were any tools there to examine the database... What an appalling...

Has anyone had problems with the AK120 database?  I've got quite a few albums that don't show up anywhere other than folder view - not visible in Artists, Albums or Songs.  I've scanned the library numerous times (with autoscan off and on), reapplied the 1.32 firmware, and removed the...
