how are the viewing angles on it? i heard it washes out at normal viewing angles

probably ogg at ~234kbps or higher. don't know about tagging though, i use EAC with an external compression codec

davidd, what case is that on your nano? ive been looking for a clear slimline case.

I use a leather flip case for my Vision:M. I actually have two, one is made by Kroo, it's called the Kroo Melrose. It's alright and it serves it's purpose, which for me is to cover the screen and touchstrip. the flip cover can be folded back and pinned to stand the player upright for watching...

The BSE is awesome. it is well worth more than Best Skins Ever charges for it. I don't see why the IS from shieldzone is so expensive though, its only a piece of plastic. I had a couple of particles of something (sand?) stuck under the screen layer and i pulled it up after it dried, to clear...

As you know iPod supports album art. i believe Rockboxed iPods also do. I know Rockboxed H320 supports album art in multiple sizes depending on the wps. The Vision: M supports album art as well. I think the Kenwood player has album art support too.

yes the H3xx is probably the most versatile of the list, but it is fairly hard to find a new one anymore, at a decent price (although i do know a site that still sells them). Also the support from iriver is dodgy at best, you would get more help from the good ppl at misticriver, and the various...

The H320 has a better screen resolution so images will look better on it, but the X5 has better a better framerate for video (15fps vs. 10fps) so video will play better, closer to fluid motion. However its still abysmal in comparison to the Vision M and iPod 5G, they play video extremely smooth...

Great song on a great album. Yoko Kanno really puts together an awesome soundtrack even though the show was mediocre (SAC 1 at least, 2nd Gig is actually pretty cool) i would have it on my Vision M too but something with the Unicode tags wont let me embed the album art.

thats cool, oodles of more battery life i bet. running rockbox? where'd you get the battery from?

It is very possible, probably one really good pull for the ZV:M, just convert to an average .avi and go. There are several guides out there, but i think the one a Anythingbutipod is the most recent. Here

Dual Booting is one of the plusses of Rockbox, so you can still play your videos on the H3xx, or 5G. at least until the good developers get Rockbox to support video too. Hows the battery life on the 5G with Rockbox? i think they are still trying to figure out the power management patches. i...

Good review. you are pretty much spot on with my experience using my U3. Ive had mine since about november last year, and with thorough usage the battery life is truly great. it's especially obvious when i can carry it to work and use it for at least three days extended playtimes without...

the Mediamonkey media organizer program, should fix it, it embeds jpg album art from amazon.com into the mp3 tags. mor or less a button click process.

no, not you. he knows who he is. this looks to be a great player, i like the way it looks. what it comes down to is a good 4GB player (finally) that does some things the nano doesn't.

you found the 2GB U10 available to purchase? where? I can recommend the U3. top notch SQ, amazing little player.

looks like someone found himself a new battleground. keep fighting the misguided fight buddy.

I think it was confirmed somewhere that the H1xx and H3xx use the same chipset, and that most of the hardware is identical aside from the obvious (color screen on the H3xx, Optical out on the H1xx). Go with the H1xx if the optical out is what you are looking for, because the line outs are the...

the only ways i know of is to add more resistance to the wires, by using an inline volume attenuator, or using higher impedance earphones. most DAPs will have an audible hiss when using low impedance IEMs.

id say thats pretty clear. the point you were trying to make i mean it seems pretty situational though. does anyone have similar issues viewing it at that approximate angle? the pictures ptaaty posted show the ZV:M at slight more severe viewing angles and yet the car (IS300 with RHs?) is still...

would this be a result of the transreflective properties of the ipods screen? such that it can pick up and reflect light back to the eye from a very wide angle? because if the ZV:M has a traditional TFT LCD, which is like my H320, then yes the screen visibility dimishes as the angle is...

might be. he seemed pretty satisfied with both in his review at DAPReview. also known as the best ZV:M review ever.

The thread title is misleading. The problem is user error not the player. i suppose it's still a fault for the player since it's so dependent upon OS parameters. that being Win XP only. it probably still covers a large group of average consumers anyway.

They are pretty hard to come by, and most ppl that have them, are less than willing to sell, as they are fairly more capable than what is available currently, especially with rockbox. their are some places you can check to have some though. misticaudio the store end of iriver site misticriver...
