1336221 2013-04-10 20:58:00 Will it accept .Flac or do I have to recode again to MP3. If I do I probably won't bother gary67 (56)
1336222 2013-04-10 22:11:00 Yes, it'll accept FLAC I believe! I'll try track down the formats it supports, but erayd uses Google Music and I think he had a lot of FLAC files. Chilling_Silence (9)
1336223 2013-04-10 22:27:00 Bugger, looks like they're transcoded to 320kbps mp3:

1336224 2013-04-11 05:27:00 Well since Google Music is here, could be a sign of all their other services being bought over too! And maybe even the devices :P sahilcc7 (15483)

Bliss!

I told you I got stopped from buying any more, right?


Hello,

Order date: March 23, 2013 12:22:08 AM PDT
Google order number:
Shipping Status Qty Item Price
Digital order 2 Nexus 4 (16GB) - The next generation phone. Thin, light, and designed for Google Play. $349.00 USD
Digital order Two Day - $13.99 USD
Tax Total : $0.00 USD
Cart Total: $711.99 USD

Now I didn't make multiple accounts, they're full of it, but I'd ordered and brought in around 2 dozen for friends and family and I think that's what set off the flags at their end. I'm pretty pissed coz I just found out YouShop are in Oregon too so you don't get charged US Sales Tax, I've previously been paying like 15% in sales taxes :(
Anyways, gonna try again to import some via YouShop on my wifes account in a few weeks time ;)

Agrhh gutted :/ You'll save quite a bit using YouShop though.

That's a lot of "Nexi" :P

1336227 2013-04-12 11:15:00 I'm still tied up as to what phone I get next, Nexus or Xperia Z. Quite like some of the features of the Xperia to be honest.

Only thing is, I'll be relying on custom ROMs again. Don't really want another samsung. The S2 was nice, but I don't particularly like the look of the S3/4

Reviews say the Xperia Z is somewhat average. The screen isn't all that great. HTC One / Nexus 4 IMO.

1336229 2013-04-12 12:38:00 ^^ I'll second that :)

Sony has been pretty damn good with supporting Android lately, but I'd still personally stick with the Nexus line.

1336230 2013-04-12 21:35:00 I'm just sitting here waiting, they only get cheaper :D

Might nip into telecom/voda and see if they have one to demo (HTC One and Xperia) since I haven't actually tried any of them out. btw, you wouldn't happen to have the links to any of those reviews would you? I've not really bothered with cellphone reviews much. Most of the time they either compare the damn thing to an iPhone (or the latest galaxy) or go off on a twisted rant about why its better than an iPhone. Indeed searching for "Xperia Z Review" gets you a lot of results along the lines of "Xperia Z vs HTC One" or "Xperia Z vs Galaxy S 4" Does no one just look at a phone and review it for what it is anymore!?
