I've got both versions of the SP and switch between them often (whenever one needs to be charged).
I don't get any interference from using the buttons on either of them. That sounds really odd.
For what it's worth: my older model is much more headphone friendly than the newer one. It has much less high pitched whine and "seems" to be less noisy in general.
EDIT: forget about output mods, they are a fool's errand
Evidently there's some changes being made in the Power Ups. Below are screen grabs from my oldest and newest accounts (I've got a lot for various things). The newest account doesn't even list "ANY KIND BONUS DOWNLOAD ITEMS" ... maybe that means anything is allowed already? Have you tried to upload various file types (or a zip of various files)?
I requested that .sav be allowed as a bonus item a while back. The very generous response I got was that they just went ahead and gave me the "ANY KIND OF BONUS DOWNLOAD ITEMS" power up. So the capability to have any type of bonus item is already there, you just have to get access to it.
On a related note: My personal #1 request for Bandcamp is to have batch uploading for albums. I've started a Facebook page about it to try and get their attention. Click that "Like" button if you agree. Link: https://www.facebook.com/WeLoveBandcamp hUploading
Hmmm, the tone of this thread is decidedly warmer than I expected by this point.
My wife and I are addicted to junk store shopping and we collect vintage ceramic pitchers, mostly Fiesta style stuff. We love cats and have 3 at the moment. Aside from that I read "hard" scifi and anything with a zombie in it. Trying to run Datathrash Recordings takes up the rest of my time.
