SanDisk = 10 year replacement warranty....speed is irrelevant for audio especially since almost every card made these days is a Class 10...

in sub folders in folder.

3. LineOut

Volume fixed at max, and cannot be adjusted.

* Please do not connect an earphone at LineOut, you can have a serious impact on hearing.

Great news, thanks Mistah!
 
These updates are really good. I hope they address the mp3 clipping issue too.
 
Now i just having trouble extracting the .hex file. Anyone having issues too?
 
[edit]
 
Actually the issue seems with the download cutting out. Is there another mirror somewhere? Google'd to no prevail.

Yep the download will probably take you at least a couple of goes before you can manage to get the whole package; connections to their servers are flaky at best. Or...just fire up iRiver Plus4, connect the device via USB & do the upgrade that way, that's what I ended up doing & it went rather quickly.

No luck here either - the download stops after 21% and although Windows Explorer tells You at some point that the download has finished the zip.file will not be complete.
The German dealer will have the file in 2-3 days and provide it then.

I hear iRiver and the firmware are on the same host.  Meaning both downloads will stall :p
 
Just restart the download, don't rename it overwrite it, and the browser will continue where it was.  Took two tries and about 5 minutes on Chrome.

Right. And the download via Plus4 took all of a minute/downloaded @ >600kb/s (I also downloaded the zip as well eventually, which never exceeded ~120kb/s; gee...maybe they prioritise connections from their software or something...) why exactly then ? Meh *shrugs* if people want to do things the hard way, knock yourselves out.

Sadly, some of us have no other option. As Plus4 doesn't recognise the AK100 in Windows 7 64bit.
