hey guys im new :blush: , eheh, im just deciding weather or not the iRiver h320 is the best choice for me at this free site....i think the creative zen touch 20 gig is the one for me, but im not sure the site manager will let me custom order it :devil:

you cant listen to an entire playlist straight through, with outh hitting the next track button?

you cant look at pics while you hear music?

whats the a-b button do?

how much does it cost to get the battery replaced when it dies.

are there firmware downloads to fixany of these problems?

take a look at this -->https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=300796

you don't have to worry about replacing the battery, it won't die..

i don't know about listening to music and viewing pictures, havn't tried that, but you should be able to, i don't see why not.

umm the a b buttons.. ****, i forgot, i don't have it with me.

1) Yes you can listen to a playlist without hitting next button

2) No, you can't look at pics while listening to music

3) AB button allows you to set up different playback modes like shuffle, repeat and then quickly switch betweenb them. You also press it to queue up a song while another one is still playing.

4) I don't know about the cost of the battery, so I got the Best Buy replacement plan.

5) There's non US firmware downloads that enable video playback and such, but they also break DRM support.

Also, there is no need to fear me or whatever as long as you're a good member. Welcome to Neowin dude.

my mates had loads of trouble with his creative zen id recomend the iRiver

ps. the a b button repeats a bit of the song. so you press it once, then next time you press it it goes back to when you first pressed the button and keeps repeating the bit of the song between each button press.

sorry didnt really know how to explain it hope that makes sense

then if you hold the ab button for a couple of seconds it does as bangbang023 said switches between repeat shuffle etc. or at least thats how it works on my iHP-140

do you know if a future US firmware release will fix the DRM? i don't care too much, but it would be nice.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

      I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
