Have been fiddling around with SW for over an hour now playing crystal clear music.. it's a great replacement player - only thing missing is a belt clip!
1. It is not limited to just 128kpbs mp3s at all
2. I've got a 2gig mini-SD card in there playing just fine, so the 1gig mini-SD card 'myth' is out the window too
3. The buttons work as designed - fwd skips a track ahead, rw goes back to the beginning of the song and pressing it again takes you back a track, pressing and holding play/pause for 2 secs turns the player on - pressing play/pause again will start the music. Pressing and holding play/pause for 2 secs and then letting go will turn off the player.
The part that sucks is:
a) no track display
b) no scan-forwarding in a track - it's only forwarding straight to the next track
c) possibly no shuffle mode for songs, you have to start from the beginning of the list every time. I haven't found anything about shuffle yet, but if I do, i'll post it - but at this point, there is no shuffle function.
d) due to no display, you can't tell how much battery you've used
e) the battery cover requires a small screwdriver to open and close - changing batteries can be a little pain..
Other than that, if I had a belt clip, I'd sport this sucker everywhere... I mean how badass would it be to carry a working Soundwave around everywhere!
*goes back to listening to tunes*
