Default Comments on the MP3 playback quality please

Hi,

I had 2 Blue Angels and had to get rid of both as there was a slight popping type interference when listening to MP3's. It was a bit like a static pop from an old vinyl record, but not quite the same.

I am desperately hoping that this issue has been resolved with the Universal, cos then I will have to have one.

Anyone been using it as a MP3 player who can comment on the quality of the sound reproduction?

Thanks,

Joe
