YES. i've only had it two sodding bloody bastard days. i tried uploading a picture onto it (a picture of a pretty girl, nonethebloodyless.. i do know her, by the way. i don't mean "dirty pix" like ian huntley or anything) BUT IT FUCKED IT ALL UP! i've reset it like 5 times, switched it back on, then it freezes again. what in flibbertyjibberty's name do i do. Thanks, thanks, thanks

refund.
amazon.co.uk
rotund. twat. (me)
haha!
Ted Maul. I only just worked out where you got that from.
"Until recently, Underground staff have managed to keep the horse population under control with hammers"
haha!
anyone? i just punched my face into a whiteboard in frustration
Where from?
So you get a replacement/refund from Amazon
simple...
tedmaul is ace
:)
is there a reset button?
yes there is. i've pressed it 6 (S-I-X) times now
radio works. good. i can even see the picture i uploaded of this girl (pixelated to within 1.5" of the screen). good. then i scroll thru the tunes, and KABANG! it freezes. i may as well just end it all now. i was so happy when it worked too. i made the cheshire cat look like a self-harming Nickleback fan. SHITSHITSHITSHIT
SHIT
SHIT
<pause>
SHIT
calm down
you're Ted Maul. You can do anything.
you're right
this isn't the Nineties...
this is the Ja-Danke-ties
ho ho boo hoo
*AMAZONIAN TEARS*
can you
remove the battery from the back? Thats what i do with mine when it freezes.
doesnt look like it
and when i shake it something rattles inside like a an echo of a fart by one of Girls Aloud.
What a piece of oh hangabout maybe its the hotness of the world that is doing it.
"like an echo of a fart by one of Girls Aloud"
Most poetic statement I have heard all day.
Possibly EVER.
And it's over to Windows Media Player for more on tedmaul's Night From Hell:
"Thanks, tedmaul. The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request."
"Ted."
"Window"
"Ted."
"Window"
"Ted"
...
*Tedmaul throws himself out of nearest window*
Wait til the battery runs out
i'm going to cry all the water out of my body first
and see who wins
Does it make a whirry sound but not do anything?
When I first got my zen micro I dropped it on the patio and couple of days later and just broked the hard disc. Got an exchange (after lying about what happened).
Can you not get an exchange with amazon?!
Tedmaul,
you probably should have stuck with tapes.
mug_mug_mug
p.s. yes, wait til the battery runs out.
what happens when the battery runs out?
this is almost worth staying up for
Yes, it whirrs, sort of
not like a helicopter. more like a mosquito.
i've reset the fucker so many times that the "pin" size hole to reset the thing with (you have to use a pubic hair to do it) has swollen to something resembling a mine shaft, i'm boring a drill into this i-river and, come heaven or hell, one of us is going to lose
Well if the discy bit is broken then resetting it wont do a sausage
But then I might be talking poo, because you were only uploading stuff onto it, not throwing it at a patio.
You wait a bit
then charge it up then it goes back to normal. My housemate's was not whirring though.
I would stop boring a hole into it and send it back. The people from amazon probably like pretty pictures.
Get an iPod
my creative zen touch
had a hard disk failure. i hit it really REALLY hard on a table and it started working again.
Get a Zen.
>CLOSURE<
Arrrrrrgh. i'm sending it back. Yay. but what i'm really "arrrrgh"-ing about is the CHOICE of mp3 players. Zen, river, pod, puddle, jail, house, rock. I mean which one is best?
Anyone who has an i-pod says "get an i-pod, yo foo'"
Anyone who has anything else says "only plebs get i-pods"
But you could construct a Venn diagram where people who slag off i-pods and people who's ANTI-I-POD player freezes randomly, well, they intersect like a big pile up of geese on the M6 just north of Penrith.
Can i go back to cassettes? i've tasted the future! it tasted good! i made the cheshire cat look like a depressed Nickleback fan. i've said that already. huzzah. the polls are open
the latter
cassettes are WELL HIP.
Just get a replacement
The iRivers don't have a bad reputation for this sort of thing so a second one will be fine, I'm sure.
nah
far far far more freezes and fuckups with irivers. yours is the first majorly screwed iriver i've ever heard of, and it sounds like something very bad with it, not just that its buggered after a few months like ipods can. probably damaged in the post in some way? they are hard drives after all. i'd say do a straight replacement for the same model
Um
Is your first sentence meant to be contradictory with your second...or did you misuse 'irivers' the first time?
Right Then
Creative Labs 20gb is half price at argos now. 120 quid. Shall i plump for this one instead? i'm getting a refund for the i-shitter
Is this Creative thing any good?
yeh
very very good. get that. reliable and easy to use
The only downside may be connection
my old iRiver just plugs into any PC/Mac and it's there as a hard drive.
My boss' old Creative Zens seem to need some sort of special software interfacing between the two, which I think is bad.
I don't know about the modern creatives and iRivers, though.
sorry
meant ipods first time
don't get a zen
mine fucked up. But I cant send it back because I ripped Amazon off in the first place. Probably karma or something, but the first one they sent me got fucked as well. 2/2 in 5 months aint a great track record.
My zen touch 20gb
has only froze once in 2 years....
happy days!
i'll prob get it at argos today
if the Creative 20gb goes all destructive on me then i'll send it back. Bizzarely, sending them back gives me more gratification than receiving them in the first place. Who to believe!?
hey tedmaul
i got that half-price creative zen sleek and so far so good although it has frozen on me twice but once i reset it it's fine.
for that price for a 20gb you can't really argue although i'd get in their quick because it had sold out in all the london stores expect for the branch near me when i got it.
My iRiver H340
has never frozen on me.
Of course I've now tempted the fates. Fuck. But I've had it for a year and half so I'm probably due a hellish death or something.
