4GB chipods do exist: I got one today in the mail.

[kerdu]

Hi again, Michiganfrog; I've been off to the Alps' snow for a while, a lost place "in the Highest", a paradise with no serious web connection. I'm afraid - thanks to your previous chinglish lesson and a few experiments - I manage to properly operate the player, and the "skipping issue" I've reported is a serious one; ops:

the trick I've been using for a while is to hit hte "previous "(or "next") key right after I short press the "menu" key to browse the (now fairly long) directory list. If not, I'd be prompted with the "last played song" (the blue screen you speak of ) after a while, before or right after the list appears on the screen, and, in any case, before I can scroll the list to select a directory. The trick is not neat, but, well, as yet it works! The issue seems to be a preset timer which I can't (or at least don't know how to) trim.
As for the memory being legit 4 GB, the player is now stuffed with 3.9 GB of music, recording, and video and plays everything smoothly, 8) ... but for the "skipping issue" :evil:. Best, Kerdu.

Hey Kerdu, how was your vacation?
What is the name of the seller that sold you your mp3?
Have a great day

Hi, too bad it's over...
If I remember well you sent me an PM, which I answered. Anyway, here is a link to a thread where you'll get a link to the seller's ebay page.

In any case, the link to EllieShang's ebay page is:

Hope it'll help... Kerdu.

Thanks Kerdu, I just bought an mp3 player, 4gb, for about 60 bucks, and 15 dollars shipping from Hong Kong. The guy looks pretty legitimate, and the mp3 is a 2nd generation nanoclone. The guy even shows a picture of the 2 flash memory. I hope I get it right this time. Wish me luck!!
He even send me a tracking number, but i dunno which postal service??
Alrighty, have a great day

I got one in today's mail, too!!! After buying a hacked one that turned out to be 2BG, this one checked out using a low-level format and I actually copied mp3 files on to the player until there was only a couple of megs left. I used sequentially numbered folders with approx. 500MB of mp3s per folder, copying one at a time. I sized the 8th folder to leave only a couple of MBs short of 4GB on the player. I then played songs from the beginning, middle and end of each folder and they all played!!! The eBay seller I purchased from was: "tinydealdirect". I've seen other posts questioning this sellers products. I can only comment on my experience. This player performs much better and quicker than my hacked 2GB player. I paid around US$60, including shipping and I'd buy from this seller again in a heartbeat. Search completed auctions on eBay for this number: 110094778336 and you can view the auction page I purchased from. Also, if you're looking for a nice protective case for a Nano Clone, search eBay for this listing number: 260089697697. I bought a couple of these and am happy with the full protective cover. Earbuds anyone? When I saw the incredibly low price for these Sennheiser CX 300 earbuds shipping from Hong Kong, I guessed they could be knock-offs. Amazon.com lists them from various sellers around US$60 to US$70. Because of the low price, I decided it was worth a risk and received them a couple of days ago. In my opinion, they totally rock. If they are knock-offs, they are worth every penny of the US$16 (shipping included) I spent for them. I even bought another pair from this seller. Sorry some of this stuff is off topic, but I probably won't be posting here again and thought I'd share info from actual personal experience. Love my Nano Clone!!! Cheers!!!

Don't know if this helps anyone, but www.ebuyer.com have a veho 4gb nano clone for £40. Probably no help to US forum members coz thats about $80 before postage, but good for members based in the UK.

Ah, perhaps I should stop labeling all 4GB nonames as hacked. Thanks for the heads up!

Whammy, thanks for helping tinydealdirect's credibility. I've mentioned numerous times in the forum that I have no clue why they're blacklisted, but as their paypal name seems to be "Tronfy Tech," similar to those of other scammers, that seems to be the reason. Oh well. Those like you and I who've bought from them know the truth. I still highly recommend them.
