Minijam & Bass
The bass seems pretty good, I haven't done a great deal of fiddling with the setting on the trucks radio and the minijam's audio settings.. My truck just has the standard Chevy factory setup. For the record I am not much of a (picky) audiophile so my impressions may be different than yours. I'll do some testing and really play with the setting and crank the volume and see how the bass responds.. :-) I've mostly used the minijam with a good pair of "digital" rated headphones from one of my portable CD players.. It's pretty hard to tell the difference between the minijam and a CD (except the minijam doesn't skip!). The minjam has several preset EQ settings as well as user defined ones, you can cycle thru them with a button on the top of the minjam.
It's does take about 25-30 mins to "MJ Load" over a full 64mbs of data.. So make sure you have a fresh pair of batteries or fully charged NiMH's before hand. Like I said in one of my first posts, my primary use for the minijam will be palm data storage (and mp3's ;-) !!).. So I am looking forward to the software update & the USB MMC card reader. I have already put the 2mb of free flash ram space on the minijam to good use. I'll probably get an additional 16 or 32 mb MMC card for palm data only.. Put that in the "B" slot, (the B slot is on the belly of the minijam, the A slot is on the back {A is the one you see in the photos}). A is spring loaded. To get at the B slot you have to take the minijam out of the springboard slot.
I like the fact the MJ Loader is independent of the Hoysync application, as all my MP3's are on my 700mhz desktop, but I have to hotsync with my P166 (yikes!) work laptop.. Since we use Notes for e-mail at work, I really can't hotsync with two different computers, well you can, I'm just to lazy to futz with it. The MJ Loader doesn't suffer from this since it doesn't use the hotsync program. Would be nice if it was faster.
