Are you still able to copy files to it using windows explorer?

I never play it continuously long enough for it to shut down. I do get more than 6 hours of play out of it.

I've had experiences with the thing never saying that it was done synching. I just unplug it anyway after a reasonable amount of time. It hasn't given me any trouble for that. When you unit locks up, hold up then press play. That will shut it off for you.

Make sure you have the most up to date version of your sync software. They made some changes to the firmware that required a software update. You will probably some day soon want to use one of the sync software alternatives (NDBM or Sorune).

I can see you are using the newest firmware because I still use 2.25 and I have no Neutris. It seems every time I use 2.28 I get data corruption so I decided to revert and I haven't had any problems since.

My charges are nothing like that. I get 414 at a maximum and it doesn't shut down until ~360 idle and then the drive starts reading. I don't think it is supposed to shut down at 390. That gives you a range of 36 while my range is 54.

Hey, Joe, how about those images you promised a few months back? I would like to look at them and tell you which is best. Also, if anyone else has been cranking on some designs, I'd like to see those too. I haven't been impressed by anything I've seen so far. All of the ideas look like rehashes of the current Neuros design. For shame... I think what we need to go for is something that improves usability.

That's where the "something like" comes into play. I didn't say, "I want the iPod wheel put onto the Neuros." Certainly something that works in a similar, efficient fashion can be done.

I'd like to see something like the wheel on the iPod which is used for volume control and seeking and it works wonderfully for those functions. The wheel is also used for scrolling, but I've found that to be a little clumsy. So when it comes to interface changes, I could stand to see some button changes. I don't have any concept images or anything; I'm not that artistic or creative.

What I'm talking about is something that doesn't exist yet. Eventually we won't use hard drives as we do today and everything will be stored in solid state memory. Perhaps it's more than a year away, but it was just a thought.

As far as the interface is concerned, why does it have to be exactly the same? I think what makes the Neuros unique is not its interface, but its features. The Neuros 3 could still look similar to the current but have an improved button configuration and it still be called a Neuros. I never said anything about changing features.

I'll take care of this one. The hard drive would be in a case that would make it very easy to accidentally bend the pins. Also the metal would be very brittle so that they would break off.

In regard to Gauge's comment, the Neuros III will not be out for probably a year or more. There is a possibility that RAM like that would exist by then. I'm thinking forward. I have to disagree that those concept images are "great". They would be great if the Neuros didn't already look almost exactly like that.

Why don't they just make a PDA and then it will be able to do everything? Honestly I don't understand this whole picture viewing thing on an audio player. If you want such frills, there are devices that do that. What I would like to see instead of the hard drive option is cheap, large solid state RAM. I heard that such a thing is being worked on and when that happens, hard drives will be a thing of the past. Then the Neuros could be small and use much less power. I don't know whether or not that is in a time frame of until they come out with the Neuros III, but it's possible.

Yes, it is cool, if by cool you mean lame and unimaginative. It looks almost exactly like the current design. The current design is simple and functional, but it still needs to be tweaked a little.
