*edit* Nope, phone is same as A50, won't radio w/o headphones plugged in & bluetooth disables FM radio
If that is the case I wonder if it will be still possible to enable by changing the destination code as it was possible to add the line-in recording option and the remote control option on the other nw-a models. If it is an Eu regulation issue it might just be as simple a choosing another region through the rockbox utility similarly to removing the volume cap.
You don't say. Ascariss is literally running thewalkmanblog.
What.. Do you guys know about a gapless mp3 player? Gonna cancel my pre-order now. Thanks...
It's a very faint transition, the type of blink it and you'll miss it, which IMO is probably as good as you'll get from a portable DAP as truly gapless mp3 playback is not something that many manufacturers will jump through hoops to achieve since it's 2019 and everyone listens to lossless formats. Who needs gapless mp3 anyway, if you have mp3 live recordings or something you need to be gapless just spend a few minutes and convert them in flac.
Well depends. I have a huge collection and ton have more storage space I ripped everything into mp3. Converting them into flac doesn't make sense since I'll lose a bit of quality and ripping again everything will be too much of a task. It baffles me the opposite. Mp3 is still widely used, and foobar on pc or Poweramp on Android Plays everything flawlessly. And I don't get why is it to hard to implement it in any other dap. Sadly Android daps are too expansive for me and I prefer not to use a phone as music player. I might be alone in this but whatever... I already own a shanling M0 and I get a 35ms gap between tracks. I can hear it and it's bad. I guess I'll never find a player with such basic feature :/
Oh, snap, it actually does. I just listened to Ian Gillan Contractual Obligations #2 Live in mp3 and had absolutely no gaps throughout. I guess what we here as faint gap on some albums is down to how wither the separate songs were cut or the mp3 files were created, so sony's firmware is apparently capable of mp3 gapless
You give me hope. I'll wait the release date at the end of November. If it's not as I want it will be easy getting a refund with Amazon.
Well, I can't guarantee that you particular mp3 files will be completely gapless but apparently it is possible. My guess is that there isn't an actual gap between the playback of the files but if the song itself has a fraction of silence in the beginning it won't be cut automatically, while some windows players for instance might detect silence and trim it. And that's why listening to a live concert where the files were created properly and nothing was cut from (on certain live albums the audience cheering can be cut off at some point in the end of the track which creates a weird traansition with the next song) have no silence and transition seamlessly
What about the Sony NW-A100 series?
