Eleven days from now will be the real interesting date: 20/09/2009 (Unless you live in a country were the standard is mm//dd//yyyy of course )

Same from Germany... And right when i wanted to get my daily Beatles Remaster fix....

I'm lost for words... It's actually strange how something like this can affect one as much, since you never get to know people like him personaly, but only through their acting. And nevertheless i'm feeling very sad. A giant has left the stage forever...

Those files that are under untitled aren't by any chance tracks with long file names? I haven't used the 82x-series, but the 818 had the problem, that when you had a two folder structure on the Sony (like artist/album) you couldn't spend more than 105 characters for the name of the two...

I don't know about north america, but in Germany Amazon certainly got worse in the same way the OP described. In the past stuff you ordered until 3-4pm (be it free, or standard shipping) got shipped the same day. There wasn't an overnight option, because it simply wasn't necessary, only a...

As long as the result is the same, i think most people around here don't care about names

Of course one could make his very own diyMod nano http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/app...ano-1g-269604/

Hi, i got the player yesterday, and it didn't took me more then five minutes to run into the first problem.... When loading the player with a folder that looks like this: Johann Sebastian Bach / Suiten für Violoncello solo / Suite für Violoncello solo Nr. 1 G-Dur / 01 - I. Prélude.mp3...

Thanks for the answers so far. But this is not strictly about the audible difference, or what format to use. This is really more about the technical differences when encoding in 320cbr or v0. Sadly i haven't found any documentation on that...

No, this is no thread about what actually sounds better (well, still kind of), but more about the inner workings of cbr and vbr encoding. I'm debating with a user on another forum, if 320cbr is the best setting for a MP3. I - and the wiki on hydrogenaudio - think that it is, since it is the...

Quote: Originally Posted by TheMarchingMule Oh man, I hope they don't upgrade the triple.fi. More money to spend, and the loss of selling the old version will take a big price hit. I still don't think, that UE planned the SuperFi 5 as an upgrade to the existing SuperFi 5 Pro...

Quote: Originally Posted by Edwood I've had the privilege to try out the new and improved Super.Fi 5. It is the successor to the original Super.Fi 5. Is UE really marketing it as the improved succesor to the Pro? To me it just looks like a completely new segment in their line...

Btw. the 8Gb one now costs as much as a nano with the same storage. Hard to justify the nano's price by now...
