The player tries, but skips each file after 5 seconds and then eventually locks-up and I have to hold the power button until it resets.
My main music file collection on my desktop is mostly high quality FLAC and sync directly without any time-consuming transcoding to MP3 for the ClipZip and I want the HQ files when I resync at work. Yes, it’s overkill to expect the ClipZip to play these as intended, but a viable sample-rate conversion on-the-fly would be wonderful as well as rules how to mix 8-ch surround files to 2-ch.
Or failing the above, how about it displaying an error about “samplerate too high” instead of trying and locking-up?
