Hello,
I recently purchased a Fuze+ due to the ability to handle FLAC files. However, after several attempts to load them, I find all I get is a unit that only says unsupported file format, or the unit goes into an indefinite reset mode, unless I delete the files. What level of FLAC is supported by the Fuze+? I get 24-bit, 96Khz files from HDMusic.com Do they need to be down-converted to play on this unit? I can’t find any info to help me on this topic - any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Rikzter,
Your best bet is to get an older Fuze and install RockBox. RockBox will play most 24/96 Flacs without a problem. I’ve been using the Fuze/Rockbox to listen to my collection of vinyl rips, and the sound is pretty sweet, although it is downconverted during playback.
Here’s a link for more info:

I was quite disappointed that Sandisk ignored the high-end user with the Fuze+.
