Sometimes I want to go back to a particular passage on a track, so I just hit 'pause' and 'rewind' and it flies back in seconds. I updated the firmware when it was released but don't really use it for the web since I have a Touch for that. But I do sometimes check email on it if I'm not near my Touch, and it works well enough. It's predominantly a music player for me though, and from that point of view (lack of gapless and on-the-fly playlists aside), it's been my most enjoyable dap to date. |

However, if you press pause, then press rewind/FF either on the screen or physical buttons, rewinding & FF'ing become much, much faster - about 8 times faster - than attempting the same whilst on play mode. |
This is particularly handy when on the same podcast you get 4 - 6 minutes of advertising (not BBC podcasts, of course) or simply want to skip a segment you're not interested in. Using the other two rewind/ FF options becomes either too slow or too fast (& innacurate). |
Originally Posted by soozieq /img/forum/go_quote.gif I'm confused, how do you get it to rewind/forward fast if you don't hit the pause? Yes, that's how I do it if I need to go back or forwards a long way. Which other two, the pause + screen controls or pause + external buttons? If you don't need to use 'pause', what's the other way? Sorry if I'm not understanding properly |
