while it's great to see more "mp3" players support FLAC, the TrekStor Vibez is the best that I've seen and used. and the FLAC playback is seamless
How's the battery life on the TrekStor Vibez? I use a Cowon Iaudio 7 and the sound quality and
battery life (almost 80 hours per charge) are stellar. Just the playback is not seemless
The Cowon menus are weak as well.
the Trekstor Vibez certainly isn't going to match the 80 hours per charge of the Cowon Iaudio 7.
I've never totally drained the Vibez battery until it died, but I think I've gotten very close after 7 or 8 hours. and that 7-8 hour battery life is more than enough for me. I've got the 12gb version, which has a microdrive inside. I'm very tempted to buy a solid state 32gb CF card, both to increase the storage size, and it should help increase the battery life even more.
it also seems as though Trekstor has recently "upgraded" the Vibez recently. on the trekstor website, they now offer it in 8gb, 16gb, or 32gb models (they used to offer only 8gb or 12gb). and the new model comes with a solid state flash drive instead of the microdrives.
edit to add:Trekstor advertises 20 hours of battery life (with the new flash memory units). If I had to guess, it's probably not that much, but probably somewhere in between the 8 that I get and the 20 that's advertised.
