So I've bought one of these cheapy $34.XXc 1gb MP3 players from Dick Smiths....
Note 1. They also play OGGs! Great. Note 2. I don't know whether they is some unicode or whatever in the ID3 Tags of some of the creative commons licensed stuff I download from http://www.jamendo.com... but the name display tends to be a bit screwy for quite a few songs. Note 3. It refuses to play some files saying "error file". Curiously enough the "madman" music sorter also died trying to cope with some of these files. The Ubuntu bug report says it barfs on corrupt ID3 tags. Anyone know of a ID3 tag sanitizer? Note 4. Sometimes the gadget barfs so hard as to shuts down. Anyone know of a firmware upgrade out there? The dse site didn't seem to have one. Note 5. Any suggestions for music sorters / play sync packages for linux? So far I have... * Rhythmbox - Good.. Except the "move to trash" seems screwy. (Didn't actually delete soemstuff I requested.) * madman - Ubuntu feisty fawn version barfed and died on strange id3 tags. * I can't remember why I gave up on Juk & Kyamo... Note 6. It seems to switch itself off every now and then for no good reason.
