Ideas...

Is there a thread somewhere or another forum for suggestions for Firmwire updates? I have a couple of Ideas… Like a sound on the Hello and goodbye screens (the way I listen it would be handy not to have to see the screen to know it turns off). This might be a hardware issue but how about am radio compatability (i need to hear my sports talk)… And as someone else mentioned ability to display lyrics.  Let me know where I can take this stuff so I dont clutter up the boards.

Perhaps a sticky for firmware suggestions?

There is a “Product Feature Suggestion” board way down at the bottom of the front page, would that work?:smiley:

Im kinda with Pik I think a sticky would be good.

It would also be useful to have a list of all the features/fixes that sansafix has said will be in future firmware versions. I guess a sticky would be good, although a wiki page might be easier, so that anyone could edit it rather than just the original poster.

All your suggestions except the Hello & Goodbye beep/sound has already been brought up before, and yes you are supposed to use the Product Features Suggestions  board for suggestions and ideas for product enhancement; hence the name. :wink:

An AM radio is not possible in a player this size due to the type of antenna it requires.

Lyrics probably would require more RAM memory. There are already enough demands on that now, so I wouldn’t be too optimistic on this one.

This would be the ‘changelog’ and it’s included in all firmware update sticky posts.

  • Enhancements
  • Bugs Fixed
  • Known Issues (means problems till exist; they’re being worked on)

You can’t hold someone’s feet to the fire on what they say ‘might’ or ‘will’ happen in the next or future f/w updates. Somtimes things go awry and more time is needed to work out problems.

Besides, they’ve got to leave some things for the SURPRISE factor! :smileyvery-happy:
