If you can't hear it or it if it doesn't bother you, then that's fine.
It really depends on volume leven and the music you are listening to. It
looks like a software issue, so it should be fixable as well.

Unfortunately, the encoding bitrate does not make a difference regarding
the whine...

Some of the older Nitzer Ebb stuff (e.g. "Showtime") is really great for
breaking stereos ;) That's also how I noticed the whine.

It's a great machine, the way an MP3 player should be done. Perhaps a
bigger drive would be nice. And the ability to play MP3 streams over the
non-existent Ethernet port - but that's what the Newton is for ;)
