    I've noticed that Sound Advice sometimes takes a bit longer to start up compared to other MP3 players. It would be great if they could optimize the loading time.

    Peter, I agree with you. Sound Advice's loading time can be improved. However, once it's up and running, its performance is solid.

    Sound Advice lacks some advanced features, like audio effects and advanced filtering options. It's more suitable for basic audio playback and management.

    Sam, you're right. Sound Advice is more focused on being a reliable and user-friendly MP3 player rather than a full-fledged audio editor.
