Funny. I saw that thread and just assumed it was still about the 1.11 release. Doh! Will definitely try this out. Thanks for the heads up! Hopefully, with this recent activity with the firmware that the flash based player will finally make its presence known soon.

How often do these firmwares come out? I just upgraded to 1.12 (?) a couple days ago and already there is a new version. I have been using 1.04 for nearly 6 months.

Gaara,

1.11 and 1.13 are beta versions, not actual releases. I'd venture a guess we'll see one more of these before the final release.

1.04 is over a year old. But, now that TrekStor has someone in-house that really knows the code (empeg/Rio Karma codebase), I'm guessing we'll see official releases a little more frequently.

Ruben,

Thanks. I have been having issues with my Vibez and the tech keeps telling me to update my firmware. I thought I was missing something as 1.04 is what I have and appears to be the most updated on his site.

It seems that 1.11 has resolved all the issues I have been having. Without Head-Fi I would still be having issues.

Aww... damn... too bad it doesn't support Asian characters or else I would SERIOUSLY consider this to replace my Rockbox'ed Sansa...
