Hello Christopher
I was sorry to read that you had a white noise problem with your MP3s on the
Book Port. I too experienced this problem when I had had the Book Port for
about a week or so - I got mine for my birthday in July - so I thought it was
something I had done. However, being in the UK, I sent mine back to Hagger
where I had purchased it and the chap kindly replaced it.
When receiving my replaced Book Port, I was very pleased to find that other
things were actually better on it - when I used to press a key and hold it down
to make it louder or softer, the previous Book Port had crashed and did so in
other areas too. Since I have had the replaced item, I have had no trouble and
only once took the batteries out for a few seconds to put it right but found I
did not need to do that in hindsight.
Certainly, you do need a machine which is stable especially when you are a
student but, if you got a replacement as I did, I am sure you will find a
difference.
I rather think the reason why my first Book Port seemed to be somewhat unstable
might have been something in that particular chip-set but that is only my guess.
Julia.
