Default 14mz music playback help or opinions.


I posted a question about this on the support forum but as the general public can't reply there I am asking for other users opinions about this. What is your opinion on the music playback on the 14mz. I think it is bad enough that it is such a resource hog that the rest of the interface is nigh on useless with it on, the timer misses about every other 5 numbers when you can actually get back to the home screen but the music also skips and stutters far too often. I have tried sampling at different levels and had them high and low with no real difference. Does anyone out there know what size file, version of wma file encoding and optimum sampling is required to make this work correctly? It is obviously far from efficient as it is, any way to improve it? Also I bought an album from MSN music for download which is supplied in wma form and these files cannot be opened on the 14mz, they lock the system up so badly that the only way to reset is by removing the battery or the compact flash card with the system still trying to reset. Not a good situation at all. Also I would like the system wav sound assignments to overide the music file so if I hit a switch the wav sound will play and not be overidden by the wma file.

Thanks for your help,
Paul

still bothered by the lack of headphones( advertised) manual(promised) and tshirt plus goodies which were very strongly implied.
