You're welcome. The reviewer has a kind of fun style all right; did you read any of his [broken link removed]?
Y'know, maybe this thread more properly belongs in I.T., Broadband and Digital Cameras at this stage. Or not yet?

Re: Acer 20Gb mp3 player for €93.20 delivered
A friend bought the Acer after my tip-off.
I don't have an mp3 player so can't answer what sounds like a very simple question.
Basically he says when he puts the tracks on to the Acer they are in M4A format but won't play. Do the tracks have to be converted or is he doing something wrong?

I don't think that this player (or many others?) support M4A (MPEG4) so they would need to be converted to MP3 or WMA or something like that. There are lots of free and commercial tools available for managing and converting different digital audio formats.

I don't understand. If you have ripped your CDs to MP3 then you just copy the MP3 files over to the player. I don't know what you mean by:
Did you read the review that DrM linked to earlier?

Yes mine froze after a few days. I stuck a paper clip into the reset hole as outlined in the review posted by Dr.Moriarty and that rebooted it and now it's working again

What I initially thought was a problem with the earphones turns out to be a problem with the player itself. It worked ok for about 2 weeks or so and then the sound went again in the left ear. I thought I had a (second) pair of dud earphones so I tried another pair but it's the player that's faulty. Furthermore, there are faint lines which sometimes run through the text on the screen. I'v emailed the customer service address regarding a replacement or refund and am awaiting a reply.

received my replacement today and Rachel Mauder in the customer service dept. who I dealt with was very good at tracking the order and keeping me informed. Mine was 85 euro deliverd through laptopsdirect.
