I bought a new mp3 player - diary at Telent Netowrks

I'm Daniel Barlow. This blog contains geeky stuff about what I do, and in the older entries, what I used to do. Ruby, Linux, Lisp, Android, thoughts about software development and matters arising. For my other personality (tech--, skating++), see Coruskate

I bought a new mp3 player #

Fri, 06 May 2005 19:38:53 +0100

I bought a new mp3 player. This has nothing (afaik) to do with Lisp, but I thought I’d note it anyway, if only to pacify the end-of-month bug.

This reminds me that I never did write the <a href= “http://ww.telent.net/diary/2004/7/#4.78600”>review I promised of my last foray into portable music devices, so here it is: “The Synn {something or other} is cheap in both senses. It ate batteries faster than my portable CD player – an impressive feat for something with no moving parts – and after a few months of intermittent use it developed a hiss in the left channel that was so loud it made the music unlistenable”.

I hope to have better luck with the Creative Zen Micro.
