bought an mp3 player, which also plays wmas, oggs and asfs. a samsung u3. slim. plays for 15hrs on a full charge. annoying that it can only be charged thru a usb port. there was a 10 dollar cheaper philips player, but it uses an AA battery which can only afford it 10 hrs of playtime.

that, and it was made in china instead of s korea. funky i would think of china as low tech and low production values compared to s korea. for most of history, china was more advanced and richer than korea. in the past, i only remember korea as a cold country with limited metal resources but overloaded with ginseng. if i'm not wrong, historians thought of koreans as only slightly more civilised than the bloody mongols. at least they actually created their own language instead of ripping off chinese like the japs.

the cure song i pieced together from a vcd recording ends weirdly on the player. the player also can't play the normal playlists(PLS)and mp3 playlists(M3U) i use with my winamp. it use a a SPL(same extension as a flash splash file) playlist which can only be created with the samsung media studio prog which came with the player. not very flexible thingy. copying a playlist to my player, make the prog try to copy the mp3/whatever into the player as well, even though i already have the files on my player.i made the list by 'dropping' tracks in my player into the list, and it tries to copy files from the player back into itself again?!? nutz. there's a option to stop it from overwriting the stuff again but it still seems to seriously slow down the copying of the playlists. playlist couldn't possibly be bigger than several kilobytes.

ho hum. fair amount of features for a tiny thing. i can even set a custom EQ. but the annoying thing always resets the custom EQ each time i access it, instead of letting me make minor adjustments to it.

i thought classic adventure gaming didn't require much patience. just a walkthrough when you get stuck several times with no rational or clear solution in sight.
