mp3-320k

Since the problem of playing song at high bitrate, I quit the MEIZU.
I checked the iAUDIO i7 8G.
it has no problem playing high bit rate - 320k is my fav.

I also wonder why there is no official reference to that problem from MEIZU, and no schedule to fix it.
maybe they have something to hide ?!!!!!!!!
means it is hardware problem ??

good luck everyone.

Holy crap, at 320kbps you are only going to be able to get about 800 songs on an 8GB hard drive. While I agree that the higher the bit rate, the better it will sound but at some point you should switch to Ape or Flac and save yourself the space and go with a lossless format. That would be a much better solution than going to 320k Mp3's. 320K MP3's, what a waste!

What problem with 320K? ... if you are talking of the stutter issue this have nothing to do with 320K... more than that I think that in 320k this could not appear. Anyway it only happens in material not ripped by you... by the proud way you talk I can assume that you rip your own material... then you wont have such 320k problem you say.
Now if you need an excuse to talk to us of a Korean player... let me tell you that we are not interested in costly players followers of USA industry... pure marketing!!

When you say "we" I hope you are using the Royal "We" meaning you. Personally I am happy to see others views\opinions on different products even yours on your ONDA player. iAudio products are very good and I am more than happy with my iAudio Cowon D2 and would certainly like to see some user comparisons between the i7 and the M3.

Not sure what this has to do with iAudio products.

Moogle Stiltzkin

I think what he means is M6 is cheaper than the Cowon D2 and that their more or less the same except that maybe the Cowon D2 looks a bit nicer because it has a touch screen and probably better firmware.

But feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

1. the stutter issue - from the thread dealing with it, It does relate to higher bit rate.
2.I have many, many different kinds of riped mp3, wma files.
3. I dont want to rerip files in order to play them in M3.
4. Till now, there is no company reference to solve the problems - sad.
5. ape, flac are ~ 600k, much higher volume than 320k CBR, or 256 VBR.
6. there is only small price gap between M3 and i7.
7. iAUDIO has products history and reputation.
8. if you tell me there is no stutter problem at the end of the files, no depending on: how, when, bitrate, ripping software, I will be the first to buy M3.

If m3 has problems in reading 320Kb files they should fix it, nevertheless I don't find very wise using that bitrate with mp3 format, it's better using ogg-vorbis format if you want a better audio quality, that's why i'm still happy with my m3 ;-)

IMHO an mp3@320Kbs is just wasting memory.

For those forum members who are always trying to find a excuse for the Meizu boxes in taking comic handling as a solution to enjoy sound.

Meizu is selling this boxes called M3 and M6 as a MEDIAPLAYER. This word stands for a euipment which can handle various formats - usally without any problems or sudden limitations.

Now some clever people start to interpretate how you have to use your Meizu to be able playing just a normal format.

Hey guys here, stop this shit!

If I have a mp3 file with 320kb and want to enjoy this, it's my beer.

And if this boxes have a problem with it, let's close this company by not buying this crap anymore.

M6 sp

....just in testing another mediaplayers to get rid of my Meizu

Meizus have problems playing 320kbps songs?

My Meizu doesn't.

I have loads of different bitrate mp3s (VBR and not) & wma-files and so on. I have no problems playing them on my M3 at all. I haven't had the stuttering problem for months.

USA followers means products that follow USA tendency which is to develop a good product with no especial attribute and supported on a good marketing in order to sell them in very expensive prices... this deals with Japanese and Korean... except Cowon D2 which I've read lots in iAudiophile which indeed have add extras beside just marketing.

That is Sony, iRiver, iAudio, Apple, all this products are really expensive, or you think that is fair to start selling iPhone (the great wonder!) 200 bucks over its real price?

Chinese trends is to add extras as it is a dedicated audio decoder or g-sensor or several types of touch screens and we know that indeed are technologies develop or taken from European laboratories in order to give a better product at an affordable price.

Indeed we want to know of such products as you introduce me the impressive Cowon D2... but compare products that cost twice the price with a Chinese is simply bullshit. That is to make even hard to understand the few bugs that has our Meizu players

And beware!!!... soon you'll hear of the new Actions chipset which is ATJ2135, that is being introduced in Chinese market for about US$ 50.- that will make pale all this wonders you are been talking here.

So don't fill our eyes with costly products that add few goodies for lots of bucks. Indeed if I compare a Lamborghini with my Peugeot... surely the Lambo will beat my useful and wonderful car.

What is your secret ?

Are all users here "day dreaming" :
skipping at end of track
Open letter to Mr jack Wong

pkt2007

the songs which are encoded in mp3 CBR 320 kbps is recognized in M3 as only 256 kbps, and almost every songs in this format stutters at the end of the song, it's like hearing the dj scratching the turntable..it's really irritating..i'm using firmware 2.003.5 now. i wonder when meizu is going to solve this issue? another thing, if i scroll the song during playback, there'll be a huge gap at the end of the song, about minutes before the next song...listening to nothing for 2 minutes!! i don't mind 3 or 5 seconds of gap but 2 minutes is horrible...i really hope meizu will fix this in the next firmware..!

Ive had the Meizu M3 for quite some time now, and ive used 3 different firmwares, and you know what.. i've had no problems. Ok, maybe ONCE ive had a track which repeated couple of seconds at a set time period causing it to pause and ONCE that the button strip didn't respond to my controls. But thats really it. Its not a big deal. Not like it happens all the time.. just a one off. Giving that situation and the performance and output of this great product i think overall it out weighs what you could expect from Meizu.

I personally download pre-ripped full album tracks, which come in high bitrate (192, 240, 256, 320 kbps) and simply play it on my M3. I hardly use it for anything else but music. I guess thats the main reason why Meizu called it the Music Card.

If your not satisfied then please do look for another. No one will stop you. Its all down to you.

Meizu is.. that GOOD! I use firmware 2.001.3, so I'm suppose to be more worse off. What secret? there is none! just keep it simple.

My guess is that people who don't experience problems don't listen to many "concept" or mix albums where the tracks merge into each other.

For what it's worth the new firmware M3 T2.004.3 Official Release seems to have significantly reduced the problem, so anyone who is unlucky enough to experience it should definitely give that a try.

Actually i do have mixed music. I have some albums where all of its songs are in one mp3 file where they are continuously played back one after another.

Sigh... I have a Meizu M6 and will likely be buying M6SL soon instead of iAudio 7 because of the price difference. HOWEVER, bashing companies in other countries doesn't really help anything, especially since I understand the large difference in labor costs in these countries.

DaremoS

It's not bashing... is just a fact. I've reviewed several Koreans players for instance Maxell (so branded), Daewoo, LG, which are selling rockchip players at prices 50 % higher that a Chinese rockchip player. They've just changed initial menu.

underclocker

Whatever DaremoS, I think that you are taking this off-topic. The real topic isn't a comparison of high and low price mp3 players. The topic of this thread is not to support Meizu when they don't support mp3 tracks that we can reasonably expect to play.

I have a cheapie rockchip player that's just fine for my small player and it plays whatever I throw at it. I've given up on Meizu now because they can't make theirs do the same. And who cares what the M3's sound quality is like if you are listening to 128k tracks.

If you are offering to buy anyone's M3 that skips at high bitrate tracks then I apologize but otherwise your posts are full of it. I don't think anyone here will guarantee that a new M3 won't skip with the music that they are accustomed to listen to on any of a number of devices. If Meizu won't fix these machines in the time that they had, don't trust them to do it later. So to reiterate what the OP started, quit buying the M3.

DaremoS

I was just answering a person who was talking of expensive non-Chinese players.

The reason I keep M3 is because its sound quality is above average like a Onda I have (rockchip-wolfson) and iAudio D2.

Indeed stutter happens... but not often as you prejudice. I have a huge collection of music of unknown source then I am more vulnerable to this problem. I just hope Meizu solve it... I've get rid of an M6... I'll keep M3 because I love it.

But I'll put pressure on its solution... I've write lots concerning this issue andyclock :D
