In a post on this forum I read, that the Sony D-NE* PCDPs forget the resume bookmark, when one opens the lid, but that the D-N?00s, like the D-NE005 or the D-NF007 don't and that one can only delete the resume bookmark with these players by pressing and holding the play button. I'd like to have...

Does the Samsung have exact resume, so that one can easily listen to audio books? Can one set bookmarks? Does one hear something when fast forwarding or rewinding? Does it have a beep for each key press? Thanks

Austonia: Can the X5 do fast forward / rewind with sound? I've heard, that the M3 can't do that, no sound while fast forwarding rewinding. I like my h140 very much and tried a 340. The 340 normally turns off its tft display after a couple of seconds. When one then presses a button, the display...

Another interesting pro recorder is the new Marantz PMD660. It has more track marking features than the Edirol R1. For instance, it can start a new MP3 file every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 24 hours and so on. One can also start new MP3 or Wave files manually by pressing REC while recording. And it...

Does anybody here know, why some manufacturers limit the power of their European modells? Are there laws here, which demand or at...

In the recent Sony D-NE300 thread somebody wrote, that the European modell of this new Sony player only has 1.5 MW output, while the U.S. one offers 5 MW per channel. And indeed, my German D-NE300 does not sound very strong. Does anybody here know *why* some manufacturers do this? Are there laws...

I have an iRiver IMP-700T, the one with the built-in radio. I like it! It sounds like the IMP-150, which I also have. The additional radio made me buy the 700T. Loading speed for MP3-CDs with several directories is the same. I prefer the buttons of the IMP-150, because there's a little distance...
