anyone got any good suggestions, the new sony Walkman looks good bit on the expensive side though, I want to listen to music in bed without the glare of the laptop screen and when I go for walks with my brother |
||||||||
|

ask yourself two questions: 1. what music player/library do you use on you computer? 2. what do you have more of, flac or wav? for example itunes wont use flac/wav, so apple and ipods would fall flat... me still using mp3s and the occasional ALAC im well off with my good old ipod |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since you specifically asked for flac,wav you probably knew apple is a no go for you unless they changed that stupid policy to ignore these formats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I cant tell the different between high quality mp3 and wav/flac I just tend to rip everything to flac for the sake of it, I used to have a really good sony 20 gig mp3 player about 10 years ago but I gave it away as a Christmas present |
||||||||
|

|
yes I'm not overly keen on apple products because of their proprietary software and cables, when I buy something I want to do what I want with it, not to say their stuff isn't well made it usually is. Also I had ITunes on my pc once and it made the disk drive fuck up so that put me off a bit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now im curious.. are your flac tagged in any way? what do you use to play your files? do you just explore your hard drive or do you have a library program? do you shuffle, or usually play albums? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes my flacs are tagged, I rip my cds with fairstairs cd ripper, or easy cd extract, I play usually entire albums at a time, but occasionally just tracks I want to listen to. I use VLC player to play them, I have an external hard drive that's stores back up copies of my FLACs and a separate internal hard drive just for my music, ive never used shuffle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I'm confused. When I put wav files into my iPhone or iPad they work fine. Does this mean they are automatically being converted to MP3, but not telling me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait they do play wav... the files on your pad and phone are probably wav too ~ afaik itunes only has import settings to rip cds not for exporting to portable devices think i mixed something up, sorry |

It's been a weird day and I thought I was losing it a bit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are flac player apps too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use poweramp on my Android phone, plays FLAC files just fine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah everyone uses a smart phone now, I just want a dedicated player, I know it sounds weird |

your going to listen to a walkman whilst you walk with your brother? galaxy 'S' dac chip Wolfson's WM8994 DAC was nice, with vlc eq. concidering you can pick one up for 15 quid . bargain. also good audio recording you can have maps and camera and all sorts of apps and video. just stating obvious, |

sorry s3 was rubbish didn’t try an s2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
that might be a good idea actually, £15 would do everything I wanted, I have this old htc sitting around doing nothing, wonder what the battery life is like on it running vlc app, I suppose that's why I wanted dedicated player as well, 32 hour battery life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sound is great...but.. better than an ipod designed for the job (sound)likely not. i never had any bad feelings regards the s1 sound. it is a bit slow at times on teh net. but i had maps and all sorts of things. was fun to use. |

best to check out the audio chip, if you buy a phone. |

oh yeah missed the reference, for some reason I thought it was from DUNE "the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4,000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of universe without moving" |

sansa clip plus plays flac and wav, it also has a micro SD slot up to 32GB. there are some current models with micro SD slots (sansa clip sport lists FLAC support, sansa clip jam does not). nice thing about the clip plus was the OLED blue+gold display. the newer ones are TFT or white OLED. amazon still sells cliip plus, but its 4x the cost of the new models. i had a first generation but when the battery died (after a couple years of heavy use) i couldn't find a replacement battery, had to buy a new one. firmware is a little flaky but i think there is an open source firmware out there. |
