I hear you, but I haven't seen this since the early days of mp3 CD players -- circa 2002 or so. This thing reminds me of my phillps expandium -- when mp3 players were expensive. A 20 dollar portable from K-mart these days performs better than that 200 dollar early tech worked. Makes me wonder if 'yota bought up a bunch of cheap parts from those early players.

this quote from jaspie doesn't give me confidence.

"I have the same problem as well ~ I took it in and complained about it and they put in a new mp3 player for me ~ It still does the same thing but less now ~"
