i guess it will be the same.cause its the hardware problem.not the software.im quite sad nw.starting to regret ive bought this c30

oh.. dont be yet ma, it sounds good de lo.. mine till now no problem yet..

1 week, why not claim warranty.

i want to.but i need to bear postage cost to china.almost rm100.sigh.its better for me to save 100 and buy cowon.

and i thought u bought from locals like slevin

That the risk buying oversea especially something that rare in local market.

So only 16 gb eh?
do this player have long bootup time? how to boot faster?

Put song in folder, don't fill until full, at least free 500MB. Remove unnecessary file, some MP3 come in 1 album per folder, remove any file not related like thumbs.db, .info, .txt la.

thank you. usually i fill the player nearly full of mp3 song.

what's the life expectancy of the player anyway? Haven't used it in a month.. now can't turn it on.. D:

I faced the same prob before. try to recharge it and on again. Hmm last time it can last me two whole day playing regularly

When you leave your C30 so long without charging in between, the battery is depleted and it's will take sometime to start charging normally.

the text is very slow to scroll when browsing for mediafiles. some of my audio title are long nd i lost my patience waiting to read the text. i guess there is no way to remedy this.

rename the files.

honestly, you didn't buy the player for the features but for the DAC.

i could but i have so many files to rename. i already rename most of the folder names so i can jump faster between folder.

honestly i don't just buy the player to play song, in fact there is only a few album of song inside that. Mostly the space are occupied by high complexities sound recording and lots of audiobooks with bucketloads of individual files. also due to certain needs i need to find individual files fast. so maybe this is not the best player for my varied purposes.

But this is the most cost effective player i found with capabilities to play flac, expandable microsd memories and comes with better than average earphones.

in now playing, the text scroll moderately fast but in media, it's very slow. and i cannot find a setting that can speed up that. guess i have to live with that for the moment

Do you really need to read all the song name?

Get a program that can rename all file at 1 go, easy.

the best way is to rename something from:
03 - Jesper Kyd - Ezios Family.fac
to
Ezios Family.flac

You do get what you pay for.

Anyway, it's a small nuisance.

For song, i dont need to read the file name. i dont care, just play any album i like. but for file which is not song with filename format of (for example)

ABCDEF.COM_ECHO_CALL_BIG_GROUP_AUDIO_REPLAY_PETER_PARKER_CLARK_KENT_MR_ALEXANDER_NOVEMBER_22_2011.MP3


it would pose a small trouble if i have say about 5 or more file in one folder like that. quite hard to renaming it so that it make sense except manually.

if the speed of text scroll are as fast as in now playing i could just read first few words and guess which file i want to play, no problem. only the speed of text scroll in media is not the same as nowplaying.

i guess to satisfy this requirement an mp3 with big enough screen to display the full/half ful filename is the best. but i can't find other mp3 player with as good price, sound quality and ability to play flac as cube c30.

so i guess you guys are right, it's quite good for the price. and i have to live with it for now except they release a firmware with faster auto text scroll which i think maybe they will not do as not many user require this capabilities.

for now i'll just tolerate this as it is as I'm not a true audiophile who spends in the realm of thousands for audio player and headphones.
the most expensive headphone that i bought were hd280pro with deathclamp which i don't know where it is now since i moved house. would like to pair cube c30 with hd280pro and see what kind of sound comes out.

as i explained before my file are arranged in different categories and folders,

song, high quality brainwaves related music, seminar, podcast, audiobooks, language learning material, language teaching material etc.

i guess a rockboxed ipod classic is the most suitable but i dont want to buy it so now i just have to live with cube c30 limitation.

Added on March 3, 2012, 2:31 pmhow long does it takes for your cube to boot up? mine takes a long time. i use a nearly full16gb microsd and internal memory still have 800 mb free.

however without sd card it alos took a long time to boot, a few minutes actually making me reboot when i lost my patience haha. even i fall asleep waiting fot cube to start up. it takes a long time displaying CUBE. the initializing sd card however takes a much shorter time.

I wish to change the firmware of the Cube C30. Firmwares for Nationite Nanite N2 should work for the C30 right?

It's possible that it's the LCD limitation and not the Cube firmware.

My cube takes 30 secs to boot up. I try to keep 500mb free on both internal and sd.
