Very, very impressive. MP3 tracks which were previously iffy are now=20
rock solid (56Kbps encoded). Just about whatever I do cannot make it=20
skip while I'm playing a track. I can write notes, lookup names etc.=20
with the MP3 player in the background and it keeps going without=20
skipping! It occurs to me that a feature for minimising the player to=20
the "*" menu might be worthwhile now.
Looks like the player's navigation facilities got broken in the process=20=
