Re: 'Amazon Fire' as a Music Player?

Can you get drop-outs between paired bluetooth devices, please?

Yes. I had some bluetooth earphones I was trying to use with my iphone on exercise walks, and I experienced dropouts. That said, the bluetooth in my car connects my iphone to my car stereo and I get no dropouts there.

Thanks a lot.

I was very worried that it might be because of 'corrupt' files (FLACs)!; but then nothing relating to those albums appeared as being rogue within PerfTunes. It's really strange when it happens; everything goes silent and then the music continues again.

I forgot to say that I bought the Sony Headphones last week. I was going to start a new thread on them because I wanted advice on which model to possibly buy; but I ended up making the decision myself. I got them for 80GBP (ie. so with 20BGP discount!).

Hi Garym,

If there WAS an 'error' with any of my rips - and this was the cause of me experiencing drop-outs during playback - then would PerfTunes definitely pick up on them?

yes. perfecttunes would detect and report a problem with the files.

I've got foobar2000 on my Android tablet, and I think I recommended it to Paul when he first got the Fire.

From memory, foobar wasn't available from the Amazon store, and as it was brand new, Paul decided that he didn't want to download from outside Amazon - which I can understand after the Sony fiasco.

I don't know if the foobar2000 /Amazon situation has since changed, or a recent Apk is available outside the Amazon store.

Hi Oggy,

I hope you are well?

In case yourself, or anyone else, finds themselves stuck again I came across a great little You Tube video on installing Google Play onto one's Fire tablet. I had to format my HD8 at the weekend and, as per expected, Amazon refused any advice whatsoever in reinstalling apps which were not a part of their empire (eg. Foobar).

Anyway, it's four APK's and you're away...
