I have already stated my many displeasures with the Music Pad Pro (search the forum), none of which have been addressed by the company in the past year in the slightest.

I did manage to have a brief conversation with "Greg" at Freehand support a few weeks ago - he told me the problems with the MP3 player are part hardware, part software and no fix is forthcoming, period. He said he knew that was not what I wanted to hear but that was that. I have asked subsequent questions by email that have gone unanswered and it's my guess that Freehand no longer wants to be bothered with my concerns or with fixing their defective products. They are also ignoring current direct questions about OS 4.0.6 on their forums.

None of this has slowed down Freehand's marketing... they still advertise the MPP as having a working MP3 player. I will never buy a product from Freehand again and I'm searching for better solutions to displaying music and playing MP3 backing tracks.
