No right/left sound balance control?

[eggyhed]

Samsung possibly forgot the right/left sound balance control in the P3, or did I miss something?

To the best of my knowledge, no Samsung player in the last years - or most other brands for that matter - have pan/balance.

Only players with balance are Cowon (except V5 and D3), Archos Gen 8 (possibly Gen 9 too), Apple with IOS 5, and Rockbox. It's a really sad state of affairs.

Yes, dfkt, and I suppose this "basic" feature is not there even in the Galaxy 4/5 players. Actually, I realized this after my left ear deteriorated to some extent...thankfully, I still have the Cowon D2 and Sansa Fuze.

Indeed, not a single Samsung mp3 player features this setting with the original firmware.
Bu the rockboxed R0 comes soon hehe

Android is a whole operating system that has no pan/balance. How stupid is that... the only Android devices with global pan/balance are Archos. No other Android thing has that.

You can whine on the official bug tracker (I already did, maybe it gets noticed): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17337

Can it be done through User-created EQ for the P3?

No,
User EQ apply on both left and right sides
