PETITION to make stuttering issue meizu's #1 priority.

roelandb

this means you could certainly not recommend anything from apple, like ipod, becouse itunes converts every single file that you want to put on your devices... (you can't even play anything but the crappy mp3 and wma)

to be honest, i learned to live with this by now, but i still think this problem should have been fixed a long time ago.

SNix

A bit OT but yes! EXACTLY! The iPod it the biggest piece of crap ever! I never recommend it to anyone, not even to my worst enemies...

This isn't a problem that you should learn to live with. This is like a four cylinder engine that sometimes only works on one cylinder. Think any car maker would get away with that?

This problem won't be solved in Meizu players (M6(no SL)/M3) as it's produced by a hardware component: the Philips audio decoder.
No possibility to be solved by a software (firmware) except transcoding to other format which is not MP3.

DaremoS are you sure of this . I do not have this problem at all but i experienced it after getting a file from a member of another forum to test the stereo output of MP4 player, it was MP3 and it stuttered o my SL at the end of track, no stutter on the Teclast T50 or PC or Ainol v900 players, so, as the SL has wolfson surely this is a firmware problem and not hardwre as you quoted - what do you reckon. Also i do have MP3 files that i converted from CD and all those are fine, but mostly WMA for my collection

Stuttering is a problem with many sources: something have to do with the way Meizu connects to the audio decoder and something with the decoder itself. If you follow this topic and others, you'll see that lots of users have claimed to solve the issue using some software, other correcting some tags and some other solutions. The fact is that my "Arabia" sample have never been corrected. Test it here

I get more sure when I read the answer sent by a spokesman of Meizu here in this topic here. Beside of this the issue have been discussed here for more than a year with no solution.

I had my doubts concerning M6SL due to the Wolfson decoder... I believe that using some of the miracle programs you'll solve the issue with the "Arabia" song in your M6SL, but not in the non-SL.

Can you please read this here where I mention you?
Thanks in advance if you try to fix your failure file without recoding it....
This is to discard that Wolfson decoder is affected.

I am NEVER going to read through this whole post again! It goes on for, like, forever!!!
In the hope that perhaps some new readers start from the bottom I'd like to sum up:

The 'stuttering' is a disputed phenomenon but so widely described and documented in this forum that it cannot (and SHOULD NOT!!!, Dane-Elec) be ignored!. Some of the non-believers here are downright condescending about the stuttering issue but let's just say; not everyone has the same preferences. I for one would like to hear how artists intended their work to be heard - NOT HOW MY MEIZU FUCKS IT UP!
Stuttering is very nicely described in post 277 by SNix. An elaborate description of the possible cause can be found in post 286 by DaremoS, including links to an "answer sent by a spokesman of Meizu" - but the argument is disputed.

In the previous 289 posts(!) I repeatedly found the argument stated that the creators of Meizu wouldn't care about this petition. As pals stated (I just love how 'think' is misspelled so profoundly):Beyond the point that perhaps the creators are incapable of reading English (which I find hard to believe since they eventually managed to make a quick start guide and a GUI in English... but perhaps they had a little help there?) I am not entirely sure that this necessarily is true.

Now, I should have been taking notes from the start when reading thru it all but just take my word for it: there are quite a few examples of potential buyers refusing to buy a Meizu before having this problem fixed AND disillusioned buyers returning their Meizu. In turn, that will (hopefully) piss off retailers and they might remove Meizu from their product line if it happens often (wishful thinking, I know).
marleyfan (post 10), Uschinator (post 245), and moody (post 279) seemingly gave up on Meizu and went for other players - as well did several other posters that I didn't make a note on.

Next I see the 'word of mouth' issue: I will do my best to prevent my friends and family from buying a Meizu until this is fixed. And this thread alone is possibly the worst commercial I have ever seen!
SNix makes what looks a lot like serious a threat to me:
So for any one sucker they get to buy a Meizu they may lose 10-50 as the word spreads?

(NO) SOLUTION:
I think this problem will never go away, sadly. That is also stated by DaremoS (post 284) although I do not believe his reasoning is entirely waterproof!
So buy something else or live with it (the upsides outweigh the downs for me).
To keep hope alive, continue signing this petition and email Meizu like crazy - EVERY DAY - as suggested by The Torminator (post 227) ("I think Meizu will be glad to
see more mails from members here").
And please note that The Torminator actually got a (positive) response (post 255) even if he wonders if he was made out to be this year's April fool.
