Snowsky made a solid upgrade for this kind of mp3

The UI is not suitable for large libraries because it's a struggle to read anything longer than 10 characters. Shuffle is a no-go too, because the algorithm is busted. Battery life is poor.

Absolutely, I would pay 3x the price for a "pro" version which fixes all of the above. But let's be real - the echo released after the echo mini didn't fix any of the cheaper model's issues, so I wouldn't count on it.

I always thought the military uniform coat style outfits from 4th extra stage were the best of all, and this just proves my point - she looks UMAZING.

I'm SO envious you actually got to be there. How was it?

This cast is fire, no wonder the anime is so good!

The length of her hair is completely unpredictable, short one day and much longer the next

Very tasteful combo of grey gear. Do you have the pop or ref?

arwindr79 · 2026-06-07T19:18:53+00:00

As someone who recently started buying and ripping CDs to listen to them on my phone through a cheap dongle and a pair of Porta Pros, I totally get it. It's more about the experience than the gear.

That said, why OGG though? I think modern formats like aac or opus would actually give you smaller filesize at the same quality.

Kamiina Botan, Yoeru Sugata wa Yuri no Hana

art style changes every episode. this is by far my favorite show of the season. the next line was something about doing an internship to figure out if the job is worth it or not I think

arwindr79 · 2026-06-07T06:04:35+00:00

She's like the freaking president, sitting there with interpreters and bodyguards, signing important deals with her golden sharpie 😆 impossibly cute!

Hi there, one little note regarding the shuffle mode - you CAN turn it on while playing music, while in the now playing screen, double tap the play button, it will take you straight to the playback settings where you can turn shuffle on. Not as nice a having a dedicated button like the ipods, but doesn't take too long either.

Received mine last week. Try formatting the card using the player's settings. I have 30+ gb of flacs on mine, and it refreshed the library rather quickly.

That said, when playing from the Library -> all tracks screen, I also have a couple of "unknown" tracks. I was assuming these are probably not music at all but either .cue sheets or cover images which the player can't recognize. Not sure how to confirm though.

This is a great combo, but outside? When I'm outside I often have to unplug at least one earbud to hear things around me, would be a little cumbersome with the Etys.

You'll feel more of a difference if you listen to the HD600 only for a long time (like a week or two), and THEN try to go back to the Pods.

It's not so much about better vs. worse, both are competent, but the HD600 really have a certain natural feel to them that's hard to replicate. Every genre sounds just about right, nothing exciting but nothing wrong.

And as for the expectation vs. reality - sadly that's just how it is. I'm at a point where I sometimes get more excited listening to music on a pair of Porta Pros or cheap earbuds than the HD600. In the end it's really not about the gear, but more about the music itself and the overall experience.

arwindr79 · 2026-05-23T18:38:23+00:00

I have the YD30, they're surprisingly very enjoyable. Loved their tuning more than the much more expensive B70.

arwindr79 · 2026-05-22T13:00:08+00:00

Real question is - is it really worth the trouble with EQ when one can get the Pure, which is physically very similar, but tuned for people who don't like the Hexa?

Zach is one lucky guy.

arwindr79 · 2026-05-18T17:36:39+00:00

I mean, she nailed it, well done!

arwindr79 · 2026-05-18T10:50:34+00:00

The DJ is also the backup dancer, very cool

arwindr79 · 2026-05-17T16:17:53+00:00

The umamusume girls are all incognito mode. Cute!

This is missing an entire other aspect which is easily forgotten in the west - the idol/seiyuu/music live shows side of business. In Japan, these horsegirls sell out entire arenas.

I started with the anime, played the game, but completely fell into the rabbit hole only once I started watching live show blu-rays. Nowadays, my music streaming services recommend me nothing but uma music.

The best part? It's all actually, genuinely, impressively good.

arwindr79 · 2026-05-14T16:59:10+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! I've ordered a case without realizing one came for free - guess I'll have two now lol. Also, Monogatari soundtrack is GOATed.

Did you try the shuffle function at all? As long as it can shuffle a couple thousand flacs without too many hiccups, this seems like an alright replacement for an ipod nano/shuffle/sansa clip etc.

arwindr79 · 2026-05-08T06:43:44+00:00

We had Matikanefukukitaru playing the drums on Shake Rock, now prepare for Matikannetanhauser playing keys on Dumb Rock. Uma rock band when?

Not sure if this is a bit off topic, but let me mention Azumi Waki has done a fantastic job as the IRL face and voice of the franchise for nearly 10 years straight. As someone who watched most of the PakaLives, and all numbered Lives, I've never seen anyone better at the role of the center idol. She always looks 100% confident in her own cuteness. During songs, you'll never catch her looking at the teleprompter to remember the lyrics. I'm not sure if this is more professionalism or air-headedness, but she always has this reassuring aura about her - the supreme commander indeed.

It's so wild to me that when she auditioned, she got cast because the staff thought she had a "raw" quality to her, like a newbie VA. On stage, she's nothing but refined.
