wait, everything is NOT all good and gravy yet.
windows media player - or anything NOT opened in a genuine audio recording program for that matter, is so messed up. haha...
1 - ANY audio opened up in another program will slow the computer down for 5-10 seconds while it loads the file - something completely new only happening with the Q10. I suspect its samples not being 24-bit 44.1? and the q10 takes forever to make this different?
2 - I made some mp3s with winlame (which took like 4 times as long as it would with the delta 44), and then played them back with windows media player. If I played them from the begininng, the entire song was slowed down - pitch shifted down as well too - AND staticy/fuzzy. it's not the mp3, because if I skip ahead at all, it's all back to normal and will play fine (of course, its still choppy when i first clip to skip ahead).
is this / are these somethings that can be fixed or am i just destined to be like this forever with the Q10!? ha. it really drives me crazy.
