Hummm... michiganjfrog, your "solution"sounds very werid in first moment. But I supose this is physically possible, and really should works. I'll try this, and reply soon.

PS. 2 days without music shouldn't be a hell...

Hey, if you find it is difficult to go without your player for 2 days, then just try the second solution I posted. It's also physically possible, not as weird, and really should work. Pure simple logic.

michiganjfrog, the last question: Baterry better should be totally flat or full charged, or it's doesn't matter?

For the first technique or the second one? If you mean the first one (freeze technique), then no, it doesn't matter.

OK, after more than a month's of procrastination, i've finally dumped my player into the freezer earlier this afternoon.

To test on the freezing effect, i've used a line-out audio cable to record 3 different mp3s stored in my player, onto my laptop. This was before i popped it into the freezer.

When i'm done with the process in a few days, i'll record the 3 same mp3s onto my laptop again. Then compare the before and after quality. And if i find anything interesting, or if it really does work, i'll post the before and after mp3s to this thread.

That would be interesting, as I haven't done that particular type of test myself (on freeze effects), so I would certainly have a listen to your results. I did once do an mp3 recording test of another type of modification to my burner, and I could hear some differences there. I hope you also listened to your player before freezing to get a reference, because plain old listening also works. (It could be that recording to mp3 degrades the quality and minimizes the differences to be had).

The power pin in my USB adapter finally broke, so I bought a seperate charger and another battery off ebay, but while I'm waiting for it to come my Glacier's out of commision. So, I'm trying this freezing procedure too!

I'll leave my feedback once everything is back in order.
