Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:42:31 +1000 OK, Yes I had initialized the database (twice) but it hadn't shown up -- but I just redid a lot of the audio content and rebuilt the database and it's appearing now. I'm guessing that it takes a while for the database to initialize and I may have perhaps rebooted before it was finished... Anyway, it's working now! Can I ask what the difference between the official release and your (and others) version is? Is there a reason why those patches aren't being included in the main build? I notice some are and some aren't -- is it sort of a beta-release or just a philosophical difference between the maintainers? The next question I have (if anyone knows) is what FM region is Australia? I've tried all 4 and the tuner doesn't seem to work all that well in any of them. Korea seems to be the best, but the tuning stops one step too soon on every station (e.g. there's a station at 95.40, the tuner stops at 95.30 reliably, one step more for each scan stop is the right station -- not perfect, but as good as it seems to get.) And (lastly) after being connected all night and starting up I get 60-70% battery charge which it claims will last me 4-5hrs (and this seems to vary up as well as down, e.g. i'll look one time and it'll be 50% just after charging and an hour later it'll be 80%...) Is this just because my battery is knackered (it's not a new player, but it's been very rarely used since it was bought as a present for a non-techie.) Or is it just that the battery meter isn't very well calibrated? The sansa firmware shows it similarly low, so I'm guessing the battery is on it's last legs. Are they selling replacements yet? Thanks heaps, Paul.
