Ahahaha... At least you haven't bumped into people whose headphones costs like 3 times their audio source (Westones on Sansa Fuzes, for instance)...

And the PL50 is a great plug. Maybe next time I'm back in KL I can try out your 50s, wanna compare with my Quads, SP1 and the PR2 for a low end shoot-out of sorts...

Oh no wait, my mistake. The volume's the same with the default player. I always have to put the volume at 7, but somehow my ears have gone a bit mor sensitive, I put it on 5 and it was enough.
Anyways the gapless playback worked well on some songs, but you can hear a slight pop on some others. But definitely and improvement and Nokia should really think on putting that capability as an option in the next FW. Some albums play better gapless.

i was thinking of buying online. Maybe later, when I don't live with my parents anymore.

hey guys, is there a software to randomly change/switch the phone screen wallpaper?

Roger that. It gets worse when you start work, and other responsibilities (i.e. marriage) is quite some ways away. You start to wanna buy everything, lol...

You mean other than the default one?

i've find a site that compares SP1 with IE8
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/sp1-vs-...gue-one-424766/

but nothing on sp1 vs pl50

Nearest we have is the wallpaper settings' "slide show" option, IINM. Not sure if any proggies can do that tho.

Lol, the guy who did that is a regular over at LYN's audiophile section asso. As for the SP1 vs PL50 thing, I'd say (just say, because I haven't heard the PL50s personally yet) that the PL50's sound signature should be more suited for songs that emphasize mids, instruments and vocals - i.e. most drum/bass-light modern songs, pop, classicals. It's bass is not THAT bad though, supposedly.

The SP1 is more suited for Hip Hop-ish, Electronica/Trance-ish thumping bass songs, even if it does everything else well enough. The one thing I hate about the SP1 is the funky design prevents me from wearing it over-my-ears, like I usually do with all my other plugs.

The PL50 can ONLY be worn over the ears though, as it was designed that way.

Added on September 29, 2009, 12:16 amhey, that works for me. Thanks

btw, want to ask this before I update firmware. Is it risky? My phone not updated since I bought it early this year...afraid this update might cause some screen problems to arise...

FW update is seldom risky for most of us.
Screen problems are probably more to hardware. I've had more frequent accounts after my first update but after a visit to NCC, it was solved. They changed my LCD module and it v\never happened again, even after 3 more updates.

What FW are you on BTW?

EDIT: Heyyyyy, very minor difference heard playing FLAC. Bass is less muffled.

Added on September 29, 2009, 12:45 amwow! been listening to one track and comparing on both default player and folderplay, seems like folderplay has quite a bit of clarity to the playback. the separation man is awesome and less muffled. i'm impressed.

not sure how to check firmware....but software version V20.0.012....version date 26-1-09

Latest update - Not updated*

Wow, you're way behind.
That software version number is your FW version.

u better update to v31. the most unstable firmware is v20...and then v30....

It's recommended to do a back up to your memory card before doing the firmware updates.
Screen problems arise in previous firmware but never heard of it in V31.

He's not the most fallen behind though.
My cousin is still on v11.

I tend to leave things be when its working just fine
can I just remove the memory card instead of backing up?

Better back up in case anything goes wrong.

for me its kinda waste if u spend few hundred on earphones for 5800XM. The audio processor kinda sux.

When u test it on ipod or other better mp3 player the earphone sounds good when u use on 5800XM it sound crapppier

Sad to hear that for an XM series phone,their audio processor is kinda weak, even the ipod audio processor isnt so good also. Well i guess a reasonable earphones < 100 will be good enough to get the job done cause the provided 1 is not in-ear kind which is kinda noisy if u listen it while walking at the street.

yea even my old w660i sounds better
