veezhun Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 just wanted to ask others here..i have a lot of classical music to listen and they are generally a minimum of 30 minutes per track...i have used both the rh10, n10 and the ipod mini... by far, the best to forward and rewind is the ipod mini.. the difference is huge in long tracks...i always forward and rewind inside a track in both the rh10 and n10 with pause on... even then the ipod wins...any other players do it so well??

greenmachine Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Flash-players generally have significantly faster seek times than optical media like CD or MD - Harddisk should be somewhere in between. My Frontier Labs NEX IA does its job well, but i guess many other Flash-and HD players do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) In theory the flash players are capable of much faster, but in reality they're usually much slower than HDD players. I'm guessing this is due to the HDD players' very powerful processors, and also, very few players are designed with constant FF/REW in mind; they're designed with the assumption that we listen to songs.Right now, I don't think it gets any faster than the iPod/mini "scrub" (press the center button once then rub the wheel; it's speed-sensitive).My HD5 and the iRiver flash players are both very fast, but not as fast or convenient as the iPods. If anyone's main use is for talk radio/audio books, the balance is heavily tipped in the iPod's direction, no matter how much you hate Apple Edited August 18, 2005 by Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
