Which MP3 player?

Auraomega · 19 Nov 2010 at 21:52

I've always kept my player as default (North America I believe?) due to the fact more and more audio players are being limited here due to EU rules. Can't comment on how quiet the Clip was when limited.

You should also try Rockbox, there is a lot more flexibility with it over the default Sansa OS and can enable crossfeed, a significantly better equaliser, album art (yes they've managed to get album art working in a fashion) and various other features which I don't use so can't remember

Solved the issue!
Format it (not via windows, via the settings on the Clip+) and when formatted set the region to 'rest of world'.
Now there is 'volume' in the settings and can set between normal and high. Normal is the same as the medium setting on high. Max volume on high is too loud tbh.

WOW!!! it worked!!

yay can listen to music now on the train and hear it :eek:

thankyou

Glad that it was some help to you

Isn't it a really stupid limit on the sound though?!
I can fully understand a cap on ear-damaging sound but I genuinely could not hear it properly in the gym!
I tend to have it about 75-80% volume on the loud setting now when out in public or at the gym - Makes the mp3 player usable tbh. Before it rendered it almost useless!

My T Mobile Pulse (running 2.1 as 2.2 is not out for it yet) is slow and full of bugs. It only barely manages to fill the function of a phone. Quite often I have felt like throwing it at the wall.
Also the handsfree does not go very loud. It is just so silly to have an mp3 device that is maxed out on volume when it really is just medium volume.

To be fair with you, it's the noise isolation problem with your earphones, not a low volume of the mp3 player.

I wouldn't take an iphone to the gym. I am clumsy and drop stuff all the time!
Also the Clip+ really is tiny. The screen is under thick plastic - You can press it without the LCD leaking (like when you press a calculator screen).

plus phones have questionalble sound quaitly as well, so your probley better of with a mp3.

looks like i need one as well since I can't carry my phone ( which I use for mp3) at work, as I have no pockets( or shouldn't have )
