This firmware has several new feature updates as well as many key enhancements and bug fixes, as listed below.

Not really. There is one person on here who knows forsure and he aint talkin. We do know that there will be enhancements to ogg playback support, and some other play back enhancements in the next firmware but thats all we have been able to confirm.

Thanks a lot marvin_martian.Appreciate it.But I thought the last firmware upgrade consisted support for OGG and FLAC files isn’t it?

Thanks,

SR

They were already in there. The next one will have some upgrades to this support.The last upgrade for the clip had that support added on I think.

any support for id3tag v2.4? All my mp3 are tagged by foobar2000 but in Fuze I can’t recognize all the characters and I don’t wanna retag all my mp3…

I recently had a file “disappear” because it was tagged ID3 v2.4, and I’m using the latest version. Personally I think its pretty crazy that Sandisk has no problem making people futz with what version of ID3 tags they’re using. This is basic MP3 functionality, and its broken.

2.4 is relatively new is it not? I dont even think my version of mp3tag has it. This is something that needs to be addressed in both directions. I dont think you should have to update your tags if you have v2.1 tags.

I believe it’s been said that the next firmware update (due by the end of March) will include ID3v2.4 support. :smiley:
