Any thoughts on Earjax Lyrics?

Full disclosure, I work for Woot, but I'm writing this purely as a potential consumer. Today on http://sellout.woot.com, the item is a pair of Earjax Lyrics buds with a case and few other goodies...

Custom utility for Pilot-friendly ID3 tags

I posted (http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54166) about a program I wrote on the Pilot forum, but I suppose it could apply to other Insignia players. I have no way to test on...

Custom utility for Pilot-friendly ID3 tags

So, I was tired of not having proper Unicode tags or album art on my MSC-transfered music on my Pilot. I have a 4GB with a 16GB card, so that's a lot of question marks and mojibake...

I've found that the Pilot works well using ID3v2.3 and UTF-16 encoding. My Ubuntu box (and likely most Unices) threw fits with UTF-16, much preferring UTF-8. Microsoft seems to like UTF-16, though,...

I've had good luck with 250x250, but also note that progressive jpegs can cause problems on the Pilot. I think that's the deal with the "black square" album art. If you see the question mark...

It's been some time since I've used MM, did they ever fix the whole can't sync to external memory problem? That was kinda the deal breaker for me. Also, MSC (UMS) is perfectly capable of syncing...

If you use foobar2000 (possibly others?) to manage your tags, it writes ID3v2.4 by default. The Pilot seems to poorly understand this tag format. mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/), as suggested...
