Well, now the problem has become worse. After updating to 02.01.17, now my tracks are not only slightly slower - but the pitch is slightly lower, too. This is unacceptable because I can’t play my instruments against my Fuze tracks anymore without detuning them. Ughh…
I’m going to return it and if I get another that keeps pitch I’ll never do an update again. All I want to do is drag mp3s onto it and I don’t need to go online with it at all.
Just for details:
WinXPpro SP3 on my PC.
mp3s only of various bitrates. Some fixed, some variable.
CDex for ripping. Never a hitch before.
Some mp3s bought on Amazon.
Some mp3s converted from .wav files on PC platform-based audio recorder.
Playing only off the internal memory - no added memory cards.
All tracks on the Fuze exhibit the same defect. They are slightly slow and now slightly off pitch after my first firmware update.
Hmmm, I wonder:
Will this thing take .wav files?
I need something more professional. The Fuze is great for clowning around but for serious musicianship I’m afraid it won’t cut it.
