I just received a Mp3 player (1.8" 2gb metal) yesterday and it works but there is a lot of "hiss" (noise) when you play music (and watch videos) and the volume is much lower then the other two players I purchased a few weeks ago. If you set the volume to less in 50% you can hardly hear the music and you hear mostly "hiss" (noise). I've tried other headphones and loaded the same songs as on the other players with the same results so I know that it's the player and not the headphones nor the music. This new model has a built-in speaker and you can also hear this noise coming from it. Does this sound like a defective player or just something to do with this model. It does seem built a little better then the last ones I purchased because the ends now are screwed on instead of glued and the buttons seem better with the center one now being mark with the play/stop signs instead of just the players color. Thanks for any info!!!! Mark
