N73 is a bit better, but I am listening to the music at 10%-20% volume and it&#8217;s a bit too loud still! It shouldn&#8217;t be only because of the earphones I have (HS-20\/HS-21) that go in the ear because I tried it on my normal Sony earphones and it was just as loud. The Sony earphones have so big earplugs that they are barely holding on. I haven&#8217;t yet tested it with headphones (with the speakers <em>on<\/em> the ear instead of in the ear canal).<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.s60.com\/seeintos60\/2006\/11\/maximum_volume_too_low_on_your.html\">Eseries phones apparently suffer from a low volume<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crash Boom Bang<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but when the player plays on background (that is, active idle) and I press stop (on AD-41&#8217;s &#8220;remote control&#8221;) the program closes. When I press pause, the track pauses normally but I can&#8217;t start playing it again (<em>that<\/em> is a bug).<\/p>\n<p>The player works better on foreground (naturally) but if the screen has gone black (power saving mode), pause\/play button pauses the track but won&#8217;t start playing it. Oddly, next track and previous track buttons work normally in power saving mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music library<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love the music library! On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/?p=377\">my mp3 player<\/a> the process of beginning to listen to a select album required skipping to a song on the preferred album (I had the songs in folders by album) and then setting the playback as &#8220;shuffle album&#8221;. On the phone I can go to Music Library &gt; Albums &gt; preferred album, and start playing any song there. All assuming that the ID3\/M4A tags are in order. Luckily the program I use to convert my CDs, makes the tags automatically (I think).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After getting the 2 Gb memory card, I&#8217;ve put the N73&#8217;s music player to proper use.
