Neil Schelly had the right of it after all. I can't say I'm overly impressed with the design of this "break-away" connector [1], but I guess it does afford some protection for very little additional manufacturing cost. It is certainly good to know they actually put some thought into it. Given that others have complained about the same thing [2], it might be a good idea for the manufacturer to put a note card in the box saying it is by design. Footnotes - [1] It comes off *too* easy. It also transmits any stress that doesn't pull the connector off (such as side-to-side flexing) into the solder joins for the tuner module. I would much prefer the connector be attached to the bracket for strain relief. That would not preclude the use of a slide-on barrel on the outside of the card for break-away purposes.

Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2007 16:55:03 -0700 Hello, There is an connector on the card that is not attached but pressure fit. This protects the connector mounted on the tuner can from damage if the coax gets pulled. If the connector is not snug we can replace it free of charge we just need an address to send it to. If the connect on the turner broke then please email with their shipping address and I'll send out an new card with return label for the defective card UPS next day. In the past we found a number of returns and problems when people pulled or tripped on the coax and bent or broke the tuner can connector so this design protects it from damage.

Re: Portable audio player (hands down the best one ever)
Mac/Linux compatible (it shows up as a normal USB drive, SOO MUCH BETTER than some crappy sync software, imho, *cough* itunes) I just wanted to comment on this quickly.. As an avid podcast listener, I must say the way iTunes/iPod deals with this is awesome (and in some respects, audiobooks). You can setup iTunes to download your podcasts and either keep them all, or automatically delete the ones you've listened to. When you sync you can sync them all, or only unplayed ones. This means you can keep your podcast archive and not take up tones of room or have to manually manage your portable player. The other nice thing is that when it syncs it remembers your place. This means I can be 1/3rd of the way through a podcast on my way to work, sync my iPod with iTunes and when I click play on that podcast in iTunes it will be right where I left off in the car.. Listen to say another 1/3rd and sync again before I leave and then when I jump in the car it's right where I left off. I -LOVE- this feature. Also, the ability to do rankings while in the car and have them translate over to iTunes is good for sorting. I actually have an unrated playlist I listen to in order to weed out stuff I don't like that I haven't had a chance to get to yet, or just acquired. There are some very good advantages to having some good quality media management software that ties in well with your portable player. iTunes isn't the only one, but some of the other software's names escape me at the moment. --Travis ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: Portable audio player (hands down the best one ever)

One caveat: you have to install the non-US firmware. As delivered the device works only with a certain manufacturer's "Media Center", whatever that is.

* Inexpensive * Linux compatible * Inexpensive * mp3 playback (ogg would be nice, but not required) * Inexpensive * Has a standard 1/8" headphone jack (are there any that don't?) * Inexpensive A little over a year ago, I bought my best friend a SanDisk Sansa player from their e100 series (http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1073)-SanDisk_Sansa_e100_Series_MP3_Players.aspx). MSRP on the 512MB is 60$ and the 1GB is 90$. It comes with an FM radio tuner and an SD card slot for expansion. She loves hers. I bought it at one of the office stores (Office Depot or the now defunct Office Max) and it even had a rebate on it at the time. I can't guarentee it will work with Linux, but under Windows, it just comes up as a USB mass storage device (and off course, you could always preload SD cards with a supported Linux reader). Some very quick google's show that there has been success at least with the e200 series with automounters sticking them on /media/ so it's likely that the e100 series is the same. -Shawn ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

It has 256MB built in storage and an SD slot for additional storage. It has a mini USB adapter, takes 1 AAA battery, and has an 1/8" headphone jack. It has once-through, loop, and shuffle modes, but has no playlist functionality. mp3s can be stored in multiple directories but are all sorted alphabetically by filename on boot, so the sort order of the base filenames is the order in which they appear in the player. When an expansion card is inserted, the names are sorted right in with those on internal storage. The card can be inserted/removed without powering down the device, although the player takes a moment to reindex itself when this is done. AFAIK, ogg is not supported. The device appears, under Linux, as a two USB MSDs. So it can double as an SD card reader. Partitions created by fdisk and filesystems created by mkfs.vfat are both properly recognized by the device, so it is Linux-friendly. I think it also has some goofey DSP modes to give the music certain special effects, but I never use them. STAY AWAY FROM the 1GB Ilo player! Last I saw, it was selling at Mal-Mart for about $60. It has MANY problems, both in terms of hardware and Linux compatibility. It has a built-in DRM which is overly strict and automatically skips legitimate mp3s. It can play PCM WAV files, but WAVs recorded at different sample rates often play back at a lower volume (or not at all). The built-in microphone (used for the voice recording functionality) sucks. The device also does not properly interperet x86 partition tables or FAT filesystems created with mkfs.vfat. Trust me, I tried! Online, I read that the mic has only 2-bit sample depth and that the headphone jack is prone to breaking off the PCB. All in all, the Ilo isn't much more than a glorified SD card reader. Or, you can invest in some silence, which is probably the cheapest, most readily available of MP3 devicery. :) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
