Thread-crap cleaned up. *putting shovel away* -myrkat

those really high bit-rate numbers are often VBR's that are misinterpreted by crappy software... or they are wma's or some other oddly-encoded mp3 file. Some portable players have been known to choke on high bit-rate-encoded files and...

I believe the 5690 has a miniPCI slot for internal wireless... I cannot be certain, tho. My 8887 and it's successor's have one. There was a time when miniUSB was used, but thankfully, that's no longer the case. Search around for the...
