I bought the VGF-APL1 last Saturday and I had to replace it on Sunday due to three white pixels. The new one is fine and I have to admit that I am really impressed!

I have though noticed that when a song is playing and I am scrolling through the menu, sometimes it stops playing the song for a sec or so and then it continues. Is this normal ? I tend to have bad luck when buying stuff and I really hope that there is no fault with it.

I have upgraded the firmware and I would appreciate if someone could let me know whether I can display the information such as bit rate, file type (e.g. ATRAC3 plus 132kbps) etc. Also, I have read that it is possible not to have gaps between the songs? Is this automatic or there is a selection somewhere ?

Thanks in advance

No. Take it back to the shop and exchange it for another one. If the next one does the same get an ipod.

Gapless playback is possible and automatic, but only for ATRAC files, not for MP3.

Today it hasn't happend...well at least until now. I hope that it will stay that way....I really don't want to get it back as the other one may have another fault. I changed six PDAs until I got a good one....as I came across with faulty cradle, dead pixel, problem with the digitizer etc.

What about finding out what is the bit rate for songs? Is this possible?

I don't think I will get an iPod , even if I have to exchange this one with another one.

I really like it

and besides almost everyone (....and his dog) has an iPod....

Thanks

Thanks DiabloVaio. What are all the improvements of the update? I have came across with only the key improvements, but not really in detail.

the bitrate info can be displayed only in sonic stage.vp has no such screen as far as i know!

Thanks for the reply. It would be nice, as it would enable the comparison of songs that have different bit rate etc. Anyway, perhaps in the future....

At least the gap when playing songs has stopped! Now I have to find some decent headphones. Any suggestions? One option is the Sennheiser PX200.

Thanks

glad you got everything ok now!

i am not very fond of wierd technology or design headphones,i just use common phillips ones and am ok with it although my left ear has an adjustment problem and the headphone is never set right and always falls off after a few minutes:smileysad:
