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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
