Might be. Rockbox has a ‘pitch correction’ adjustment, so it’s possible it can be corrected via firmware, but as I’m not a software developer or programmer I’m just speculating.
Yeah, I’ve read about it too, but it’s still far away from being usable on v2…I’m not that kind of programmer, so I can only speculate as well…
My question was rather regarding sansa firmware. I wondered if THEY are going to solve this via firmware, because I love this little player. It’s just this speed that drives me crazy.
It would be good to get an official word if this is a bug or a feature, because some people here claimed, that the slower playback is a common thing and one should get used to it. I hope they were joking - after all, it’s a MUSIC player. I would understand, that some filetypes are not supported, or the quality is a bit lower etc., but in my view, a correct playback speed is essential… I would exepect this 1 thing from $5 mp3 player too. Or else sandisk should add a note on this extra feature in the official info:
* includes an innovative music playback feature - all your songs play 1% slower!
Doom Metal fans could have been interested, though
