Hey Guys and Gals,

I've been struggling with my player's inability to play low-bitrate encoded files for a while. I record tons of radio and spoken word stuff in mp3 format so I can listen to it in the car, but unless I record at least at 32k, it is unlistenable. On the PC, I can playback as low as 8k files with no quality problem at all. But these same files sound like hell in the car (bad scrambled flanged jittery playback).

I know the empeg has problems with low bitrate files, but is there any way to fix this? Four hours of audio at 8k is like 20 megs, versus 70 or 80 at 32k, so I'd much prefer the lower setting...

Stumped! I've attached a sample file; try it out! It is at 16k, sounds fine in winamp, unlistenable in the car.
