Yeah, I don't think they are. I'd be surprised if you don't see them appear once they do.

Here's a 12GB of the old version selling about a week ago, and it had international shipping enabled:

TrekStor vibez 12 GB MP3 Player (Black/Silver) - eBay (item 180280501688 end time Aug-23-08 07:41:39 PDT)

EDIT - Oh and hey recephasan, how would you compare the bass on your H120 to the Vibez? Specifically in terms of how deep it goes, how punchy it is, and to what extent it clouds the rest of the spectrum when you push it up (through some special bass boost function, or EQing or what not). Thanks

The amount of punch and/or clouding on the vibez will vary depending on how you setup the EQ bands. You can set your lowest band as low as 20 Hz and your highest band up to 20 kHz, and widths ranging from 0.2 to 4.0 octaves (in increments of .2). The maximum you can boost or cut each band is 12dB.

it's up to you.

Edit:

There are 5 bands that can each be set to any of the following center frequencies (in Hz/kHz):

20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1 k, 1.3 k, 1.6 k, 2 k, 2.5 k, 3.2 k, 4 k, 5 k, 6.3 k, 8 k, 10 k, 12.5 k, 16 k, 20 k.

Hope this helps.

Ditto. I've already started checking the J&R and B&H websites for it.

Hi --

I've been eyeing the Vibez since it first appeared, but I didn't realize that it can record .WAVs through the line-in. I'm thinking that I could run my mic-preamp into the line-in. With 32 Gb of built-in storage, this would be a very attractive option. But I have a question about recording SQ.

I downloaded a .pdf of the manual at Trekstore's site, which offered the following information about the recording capability:

Recording

Under the menu item "Recording" you can adjust the recording quality of the voice and line-in recordings. Select the desired recording source and then the desired recording quality...

Medium quality: medium-quality recordings are encoded in 16 kHz wave-pcm format. The recording mode of this quality level is mono.

High quality: select this option to achieve high-quality stereo recordings. These recordings require far more storage capacity than low-quality recordings.


Obviously, the low and medium quality settings are not going to be good enough for recording live music. It's frustrating that they offer specs for "medium" quality (16 kHz PCM, mono), but not "High" quality.

Does anyone know what the specs are for "high" quality? I'm hoping for 44.1 kHz PCM, but I'm not holding my breath. Can anyone help me with this?

Here's what it says in the "Settings > Recording > Line In" menu on the vibez itself. You can choose between three options:

Small Size
Codec: wave-ima-adpcm
Bitrate: N/A
Sample rate: 16.0kHz
Channels: Mono

Medium Quality
Codec: wave-pcm
Bitrate: N/A
Sample rate: 16.0kHz
Channels: Mono

High Quality
Codec: wave-pcm
Bitrate: N/A
Sample rate: 44.1kHz
Channels: Stereo

Same goes for Voice.

Thanks so much RubenNYC! Well, that answere my question, doesn't it? I want one, I so want one. Is there a VU display for monitoring? (I should have thought of asking that in my previous post. Sigh. My brain is going.)
