where as the controls (or lack there of) doesn't bother me, but if it doesn't sound good, i'm not interseted. and i understand mp3 coding and kb's.. if you put a decently encoded mp3 file, does it sound as good as say the ipod or psp sounds with the same file?
It sounded great to me. I listened to the opposite Soundwave of what I was taking a photogallery of. I probably listened to around 20 songs or so while I was doing the photos. Using the same Sony earbuds that I use with my Dell laptop, it sounded just fine. In fact, I was surprised that it sounded just as good as my laptop.
The Frenzy/Rumble headphones are crap though (I did listen to a song with those on). I didn't try to use the headphones that came with Soundwave. I imagine those are crap as well. I'll use my $40 Sony earbuds that I absolutely love.
If I could figure out how to make the songs play in a random order, I would actually use Soundwave as an actual player. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have this option. I keep hoping that someone will discover a button pattern that you can press to get the songs to play randomly.
Doh!
