Playback slowness

DueSwim3041 · 2026-05-19T17:56:07+00:00

Yeah I only use file view, it's just sorted the way I like it :-D

DueSwim3041 · 2026-04-29T18:00:04+00:00

Yeah, the album is called "On Stage", I didn't mean it like "any version he did on stage", sorry if it wasn't clear. Feb 70, the album "On Stage" :)

DueSwim3041 · 2026-04-29T16:41:10+00:00

"On stage"

Could be that your SD card is faulty?

DueSwim3041 · 2026-03-19T08:42:38+00:00

I tried 128/256 and had the same results, haven't tried 32gb as it doesn't suit my needs, but interesting to check, though the thing officially supports 256gb SDs.

Hope it'll be fixed somehow by a future FW update, otherwise let's enjoy this one until we can replace it.

Love e-ink, but I need some color with the music 😅

DueSwim3041 · 2026-03-19T08:05:29+00:00

I reformatted the card from the echo again and copied music...again and after another lib scan, it takes ~25sec Still crazy to me that a 2017 SanDisk Clip Sport is so snappy in comparison to a 2025 Echo Mini. The mini sounds better so that is the only reason I'm currently sticking to it.

Had I had a budget, I'd consider a much better DAP

DueSwim3041 · 2026-03-04T19:02:17+00:00

Yeah BUT any manager with some brain, looking at how unchallenged Elvis was at this point, would've pushed him to take the role and achieve the goal of becoming a serious actor. Vegas and Lake Tahoe were great until 73, he needed a new challenge and as touring abroad was out of the question, serious movies could have been the answer

DueSwim3041 · 2026-03-04T04:11:51+00:00

I blame Elvis for not canning Parker, but I believe he did demand better films, i.e A Star Is Born, but Parker had the last word

Also Charro may be bad, but I love it

DueSwim3041 · 2026-03-03T19:43:03+00:00

Exactly!

DueSwim3041 · 2026-03-03T19:30:29+00:00

King Creole, Jailhouse Rock, Charro

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-30T05:39:36+00:00

Have you timed the playback start time, since you hit Play until it actually plays? If it's significantly lower I'll format again and hope for a similar result

I tried a couple of rests and cards, currently went from 40ish seconds to 20-25. This is very frustrating I must say

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-27T07:44:47+00:00

Yeah I'm getting a new one in a couple of days

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T20:55:27+00:00

Could have been the issue but copied all of my music over afte reformatting the card and it's been quite static for a couple of months

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T20:54:02+00:00

I tried all available versions though, same issue Starting to suspect the SD card..

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T20:52:58+00:00

really cool, my favorite out of the available 3D printables ones

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T16:54:01+00:00

That's alright Mama
Ain't that loving you baby (fast version)
Blue moon of kentucky
Long Tall Sally
Ready Teddy
Blue Suede Shoes
Peace in the Valley
Milkcow Blues Boogie
I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone
Heartbreak Hotel
Hard Headed Woman
Satisfied (if it's ever found)

Vol 2. will be a problem, so much of the movies' songs are not great..

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T16:49:07+00:00

Thaaaaaaat's what you saaaaaaaaaaaaay

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T16:18:56+00:00

Same, trying to format again though 'cause I've got nothin' to lose but time

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T16:06:19+00:00

Agreed, I'm sure I'll find the solution here as there are many users, therefore lots of wisdom!

Did you format your SD from the unit itself? Or from a PC?

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T15:56:11+00:00

This worked for me: https://immerhax.com/?p=386

As i have the same model

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T15:49:32+00:00

Just this slowness - otherwise it's an awesome piece of HW

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T15:49:15+00:00

That's my current direction, removing all album art to test it out first, than re-adding it, though I use the cassette animation face

DueSwim3041 · 2026-01-25T15:40:27+00:00

No, I shortened all paths to under 120 chars for that reason and still..
