I'm a Blackberry newb ... only had my Verizon 8130 for about a week ... Absolutely love it so far ...
I do have one annoyance with the music player that I can't find any information on and was wondering if it might be a problem with my BB.
At the beginning and end of every song, there is a loud 'pop' noise that makes it unbearable to listen to for long periods of time ... When I have my headphones in, it reverberates through my head, and when I have it plugged into the aux jack of my car, it sounds like it's going to blow my speakers ...
The songs play fine and I'm actually surprised by the sound quality, but that annoying 'pop' is keeping me from using it.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, or if I should take it back and get another one ...
My 8130 has a 3.5mm jack on the side ... I'm using a set of Sony Hi-Fi ITE headphones ... According to the manual, I should be able to use any standard set of headphones to listen to music ...

I could be wrong though ... ??
If you have a 3.5mm jack on the side then you should not need an adapter. I have a 2.5 jack on my 8820 so I had to get a special BB adapter for 2.5 to 3.5mm. Hmmm... I'm not sure why you may be getting that popping sound.
I don't have the issue on my 8130 and I use a different set of earphones then what came with the phone.
I only loaded 1 album so far (I watch more videos then listen to music) and if recall, they were existing MP3 files and I copied them through Media Manager onto my SD card.

dlefitah (Keith) reported what I'm hearing which is a really loud pop, but only when using a headset or a cable connected to the input on my car. It's almost painful.
It may be the way that the songs were loaded thats causing the pops. All my songs that I have loaded was by ripping CD's through windows media player and just dragging and dropping on to my SD card. I never have any pops between songs and have over 400 songs loaded.

I have a sprint 8130 and also use it to listen to media player hooked up to my stereo system, once a new song starts, there's a slight pop. When I use headphones and my stereo in the house. There is a Audio Boost within the media player options that can be set to yes and no. Mine is currently set to yes but I havent attempt to try it out on no yet.
I checked, my audioboost is off. And I used some compressed air in the jack, and that helped my headphones, but I just used it in my car in the aux jack and theres a pop AND a hum between songs.
