I have a question about tags on the Gigabeat S. If you had The Beatles tagged as "The Beatles" (rather than "Beatles, The"), would they show up under T or B when browsing by artist? This is one thing that really bothers me about the Vision:M, and I'd really rather not retag all my artsists that begin with "The" or "A" or "An," you know?

Also, what happens when you view a square image or a full screen video? Do you view at in "portrait" or "landscape"? Are there black bars above/below (in portrait mode) or to the side (in landscape mode) of the image?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi Jack,

On my gigagbeat The Beatles show up under B as "The Beatles".

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking about regarding images, but you can choose to view images in landscape or portrait and some images or videos will have black bars depending on their aspect ratio.

By the way, the sound from the gigabeat is excellent and I'm very happy with the unit.

I am very pleased to hear this! Thanks a lot for the reply. I actually ordered an S60 today, so it should be here soon! I bought a Vision:M less than a month ago, and although it has a lot of features, I just don't think it is the player for me. I want something sleeker, a bit less bulky, and with more storage capacity (and preferrably something that isn't an iPod). Sounds like the Gigabeat is a good choice. Thanks again.

thats one of the things i don't like about the Gigabeat. I would also have liked to be able to play with the gigabeat too.

What is one of the things you don't like about it?

Oh, oh, oh. Gotcha. Yeah, it really is annoying.

Hey Jack,

Let me know what you think about the S60 when you get it!

I'm hoping that we'll start to see some accessories for the unit soon. Until then, I'll just have to spend my money upgrading my cans!

 

[jack963]

Yeah, I will definitely let y'all know what I think. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow!

You're right, there isn't a whole lot out for the Gigabeat yet, but this will change over time. Here are a couple cases though, have you seen them before?

Yeah, thanks I have seen them.

I bought my Gigagbeat in Japan back in June, so I picked up a case for it when I was over there.

Quite frankly, this thing is really durable. The case I bought is simply a generic slip case so my Gigabeat is in and out of it all the time. However, there's not a single scratch on this thing (and I'm certainly not that careful with it either).

That is great to hear. Thanks!
