Sansa Fuze or Sony S638... both have some advantages over each other and might or might not have all the features You are looking for ... but definetly good choices at the moment ... -velimir

well Sony (S739) just got few more points vs Fuze (Clip) and they are now at the same level . Why? Sony supports WAV tags (from dbpoweramp LIST&ID3) and plays WAV files perfectly. Unlike Sony, Fuze (Clip) treats WAV tags as noise and doesn't recognize them... also it has hick-ups when...

go to equalizer and there it is. in custom 1&2 you can set the level of it per your taste. on presets it is already set (differently for each preset). edit: to clear it up it is not standolne setting that you turn on or off, but part of eq where you define level 0123. -velimir

here is zip download: Download LAME MP3 Encoder 3.98.2 : LAME MP3 Encoder is the best mp3 encoder you probably downloaded source code or something... just unzip it to some folder and point EAC to lame.exe in that folder... I think, but may be wrong that EAC already has Lame built in...

anyone has minior problems with playing WAV files on Fuze like ocassional hickups (short breaks, like once every song)? and also dbpoweramp seems to write Tags to WAV files (according to them it is perfectly OK) and seems Fuze interprets them as 1sec noise before each song !? and wow...

well here is my limited experience with FLAC vs MP3 vs OGG VORBIS: I just got myself a new Sansa Fuze and Westone UM2 and used dbpoweramp to rip a CD to FLAC, MP3(LAME 320kbps) and OV(aotuv 500kbps). FLACs sound great, but first of all seems like Fuze is having some issues playing them as...

Finally got my own Fuze. Unfortunately it is blueish and only 4GB, but fortunately it doesn't have an issue with my Westone UM2 unlike the other one I tested (Black, 8GB). As I couldn't basically open and test every Fuze to see if they have headphone jack issue I chose the one in the new nice...

well today I discovered whole new world with Sansa Fuze and UM2 ... so I would think Westone 3 would be even better ... You can get Fuze and FiiO E5 for and UM2 for the price of iPod touch ... just my opinion

well I can not believe how good that Fuze sounds ... so many details that I never heard before. with UM2 plugged in it is one of most interesting yet accurate sounds I ever heard ... I am definetly getting my own Fuze first thing on Monday ... S739 goes to my wife, she'll like it... hell...

thanks all for the answer / suggestions. maybe it is sorted in v2 revision. I hope when I get my won it won't happen, but just in case I have cut off a top from old Comply foam plug (the little gum part) and used it as a washer to test if it does the trick ... and it does -velimir

OK. So the Fuze sounds wonderful out of the box. no EQ just music. guitars sounds great, bass and drums also. voice is present enough. cymbals are great. I am listening on Westone UM2. I own Sony S739 and it sounds different. Also very good, but from what I heard in last few minutes that is...

hi, can someone help me out. I just borrowed Sansa Fuze 8GB black and it says firmware verision is v1.01.22F ... I thought I read somewhere there are no Black 8GB Fuze that is v1. Shouldn't all be v2? Or I am misunderstanding something? What are the differences between v1 and v2? I...
