HunterLeo, I'm very grateful for your participation on this forum. If your new player can be ported with Rockbox (and will hold a microSD card), I'll be lining up to get one! Please keep us posted.
:)

Can I find a diagram of the menu tree for the A12 anywhere? I suspect it has some functions that are not documented in the present online .pdf manual, which is very sparse. (I could certainly write one that is more complete.) I would like to explore further before buying one.

I purchased an AGPTEK A12 to see if it might be a good replacement for the Sansa Clip+ for me. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now.
It is a pretty good device, with good audio quality; but I won't be buying another until the firmware adds a few important (to me) features.
I mostly use my mp3 player to listen to audiobooks. I occasionally listen to music files, but that is a small fraction of the time that I spend with audiobooks.
The battery life is longer than the Sansa product and the battery charges to a full state very quickly. The audio quality is not noticeably better or worse than the Sansa product.
1) The playback order does not seem to be in either alphabetical order or related to the MP3 tags. This means that audiobooks that are broken into separate chapter files often play out of order. I have gotten around this problem by writing a PERL script that writes writes the files to the player in the proper order. This appears to work, but it is not really convenient.
2) Fast forward speed is very slow. I worked around this problem by breaking my files into very small chunks using mp3splt.
3) The player does not seem to remember where it was in a particular track from one time to the next. This means that if I stop listening to a large file one hour into the track; I have to spend a lot of time trying to fast forward to the correct point the next time that I use the player. I have worked around this problem by breaking my files into very small chunks using mp3splt.
There are some other minor issues, but these are the ones that are causing me grief. If there is a setting somewhere or a better workaround that addresses any of these concerns, I would like to know about it.
gem:
There are rumors that the A12 can record in MP3 format, possibly in WAV format (but which WAV ... ADPCM, or Microsoft 16-bit WAV?), and several different bitrates. If the rumors are true, that would be an advantage over the Clip family. I can't find the info anywhere.
Can you check the RECORD menu(s) and try to ferret out some more specific info about the recording capabilities? A list of all the options would be nice, for example:
• MP3, stereo, 128kbps, 44.1kHz
• MP3, mono, 64kbps, 32kHz
• WAV, stereo, 16bits/channel, 44.1kHz
etc.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I wanted to ask if the A12 has the feature, that if you insert MicroSD card, it acts like one storage together with internal storage, like in Sansa Clip+. Thank you.
