What’s Rev.2 all about? I just installed .15 the other night.

 

Re-read the post, especially the first section. There are 2 different hardware versions now. If you just installed the .15 version the other night, you have Rev. 1 and your new update would be 01.01.22.

I think he means that he never heard of another hardware version.

I sucessfully  updated to the new firmware.  Love the new features.

 

The file resume bug I reported still reproduces - after 10 or so power cycles, the resume point is reset to the beginning of the file.  This is a major problem for me.  If there is anything I can do to help with reproducing this bug, please let me know.

when in real world use will you ever be power cycling the fuze 10 times before listening to a file?

never heard of it probably because it is new. i have seen 1 other post about the new version. both seem to identical though since they have the same release notes.

I’m listening to an audio book.  I’m power cycling much more than 10 times while listening to the same ‘song’.

Question. I see it now said All languages are now in one firmware version… It also said that you can pick your region when running the updater…  Does this mean you now need to install and use the firmware updater? Can I do a manual install and not use the updater as before? If so how do I pick my region with out the updater…I’m looking at  01.01.22 version and my region was “a” in the older firmware updates…  Thanks… George

After the firmware is loaded,  when the device boots the first time you will get a prompt to select your region.

Is there more id3 information such as year, file type, bitrate, and etc.?

That feature is in development for a future release.

Thankyou for the update.  The faster scroll is a great improvement.

I would like to bring up my only ask at this point…please increase the track limit so that I can use the full capacity of the Fuze which is why I purchased it and a uSD card several months ago.

I believe that several of your posts indicated that the limit increase was to be included in this release.

SansaFix,

Thank you for the reply!Let’s see if I got this right.  So unzip file drag and drop to the root directory unplug when it’s done boot up then pick Region. Thanks George

The new firmware sounds great! I like how you reworked the GO LIST and added a SLEEP TIMER…  Lots of other features and fixes too!! Thanks again!

He said it was to be increased, but never said it was going to be in this release. Quite the contrary, he said it was a major undertaking and would NOT be included in this version.

Here’s his latest word on the subject from yesterday (12/11/08):

Thanks for letting us know :wink:. At the end of my my firmware after updating, it has the letter A. What does that mean?

In MSC mode, on the internal memory, the AUDIOBOOK and PODCASTS directories are in the root directory.  With the firmware released today, audiobooks and podcasts are reportedly supported on the expansion card.  But I notice that the firmware has created AUDIOBOOK and PODCASTS directories inside the Music directory on the expansion card instead of in the root, as the internal memory is organized.

I don’t know if there is any significance to this but I thought it odd.

Check I think it is not Music but MSC.  This is the collection spot for content found from MSC mode.

If you use MSC mode,  you will see the Podcast and Audiobook folders at the root.

I have found the same thing on my Fuze…although I’ll probably just delete them since I use my Clip for podcasts. Thanks for the sleep timer SansaFix, btw.:smiley:

Thanks for the new firmware. I can confirm this has fixed the skipping/popping with backlight off with certain files for me. I haven’t quite got used to the accelerated scrolling yet, but I’ll give it a go. I would still prefer Rio Karma style first-letter alphabetic scrolling if you could ever do that.

Regarding the sleep timer, nice feature, but I think the “Shut down in XXX mins” setting seems to alter the incorrect way in relation to scrolling the wheel - the numbers decrease when rotating clockwise and increase when rotating anti-clockwise, where I think it should be the other way round. The similar setting in the Power Saver setting works correctly.

My apologies,

SansaFix indicated "We are working on it,  but it wont be in the next update,  more likely the following one. "

…Just a little anxious.  The Fuze is a great product, particularly if the song limit is increased to allow better use of the expansion capability.

I’m elated to see that Audible on the µSD card has been repaired.

And a sleep timer!  Now how cool is that?
