Hiya, thanks for the welcome. i turned off the beep off within 5 mins of getting it lol. The 'noise' im getting is from the bottom of the player, under the buttons. It can be heard when the buttons are pressed and when you hold it near the bottom. Its like the front is not secured to the bottom, im gonna hazard a guess and say its not going to get better so im not sure where to go! Iv already got 7 Gb of music on it! Thanks
