Yesh, the MP10 online stores are useless. iTunes is definitely the way forwards.

It plays OK until you need accompanying :lol:

Yeah I think Winamp can do this? Might get that.

back on topic though, MP is cack personally. Its very bloated for a simple media player, hence why i use winamp 2.8 with a few plugins for video stuff...and works well :thumbs:

I need to learn something on a piano, but I bought it on eBay so its not what you'd call concert pitch :lol:

get in tuned mate :) will cost you 50 quid (or there abouts) and you have to do it atleast once a year, but its worth it :)

But yea, grab yourself a copy of Cool Edit (not the new version by Adobe, its cack) and you can pitch shift stuff. Although the easiest would be Acid Pro 4 by Sonic Foundary (been bought out by someone else now, but you can still "buy" the old better versions) :)

edit - also one tip for anyone with a piano, make sure the room its in stays at a fairly constant temperature and place a small tub of water inside the piano if its an upright, as it will make the piano sound better :) If its a grand or baby, then the room temperature has to been fairly warm, otherwise you end up with a shite sounding piano costing a few grand :(

Joff, can i connect to your online anus?

The big selling point in MP10 is that you can connect to online shops... yet none came up when I tried. Waste of time IMHO.
