 Third-party L.A.M.E. encoder users watch out! January 3, 2003
16 out of 18 found this review helpful
Picked one of these up as a bit of retail therapy (impressed by the price), and quickly regretted it. Read the part in the description about "supports MP3 bit rates of 32, 64, 96, 128, 192, and 256 Kbps" carefully... it skips and pops if you present it with 320kbps, and also possibly with 224kbps, which you will frequently find in a L.A.M.E. -encoded ("--preset standard") mp3.
Everything else worked flawlessly on this unit, which I can't actually say about some other MP3 boomboxes I tried out... If only it could play ALL the mp3 bitrates... I'd happily pay 1.5-2x the cost for a unit that could play the MP3 CDRWs without the skipping or other problems!
Unfortunately, this one will be going back, and the hunt will go on...
[I'm also curious as to why Amazon felt they had to remove the name of the MP3 encoding software I use - it's a recursive acronym for 'L A M E Ain't an MP3 Encoder.' Perhaps they'll see this and leave it where it belongs this time.]
