Lookin for a mp3 player... freakin out a

hey y'all
i'm looking for micro dri've mp3 player and I'm checking out products such as ipod mini, creative zen micro and others as well. After checking out each player i see flaws such as mini have no battery replaceable, have to buy adapter and USB separately and its expensi've about 20 bucks more than creative zen micro. creative zen micro is cheaper than ipod, better sound than mini, battery replaceable.
based on these features, flaws and things i'm have been hearing about, i really dont know which mp3 i want to get. Its kinda freaking me out and i'm a careful guy cause i hate being ripoff and i dont want to go through a hassle to go back and complain about it.
Can y'all help me find the right mp3 player for me? if you have any questions about my expectations to reduce options of selecting mp3 player... send some questions
thank guys

Micro also has fm radio, voice recording, and is better Also, the micro doesnot come with a power adaptor (it does have the USB though)
Don't be too afraid about the problems you see on these boards. Only a small percentage of mp3 players break. Creative is very good with replacing broken micros (especially any with a broken headphone jack), I don't know how good apple is though.
I would go with a micro, it is very good for the price, (the removable battery is helpful) and it comes with more accessories and extra features. If there are any problems with the micro, Creative will replace it (so don't worry about getting ripped off with a micro )
Also, what size mp3 player do you need? And do you want the extra features of the micro (like fm radio). If not, you might also want to look at the zen touch. Message Edited by penguinking3 on 05-29-2005 06:3 AM

Savings for Creative Mp3 Player

BestBuy is having a 25% off all creative mp3 player sale and I was looking at the Zen Micro Photo. I want an mp3 player that can hold alot of songs that I can run with, but I found out mini-hard dri'ves and regular ones arn't suitable for running...So I am going to stick with a large capacity player with alot of features instead of a flash player but I just can't choose. Plz leave suggestions if you were in my place shopping for an mp3 player.

bosoxxrwd,
If you're planning to do exercise while using a player. I would suggest going after a flash based player like the Zen Nano Plus, Zen Nano and MuVo series instead of microdri've or harddisk based player.

Looking for a MP3 player for audiobo

I am looking for an mp3 player that meets these requirements. Creative Labs lists like 50 mp3 plays and no easy way to compare features. So does anyone know if anyone sells anything with these features:?- bookmarking: where I can 'save' a place in a audiobook and go listen to other stuff and come back to where I left off. The 'resume' feature on some devices is not adaquete because it assumes I don't want to listen to anything else. Other devices require me to search through hours of a book to find where I left off. I need something that let's me mark a place and return when I want. - FM feature: because sometimes I want to listen to the radio and not my downloaded music or books!?- flash based: because it's lighter weight, no hard dri've to break (gb flash or upgradable flash card insert is fine)?- removable regular batteries: so that if the batteries go bad, i can get new ones and not ship it off to be opened by someone else?that's it!? is that so hard?!
Please let me know
!!! [email protected]????

portrower8,?Do a search at the top of the page for audiobooks. They have been discussed frequently.?First, you are asking for a flash player, so that limits your choices. For audiobooks that you download from NetLibrary or Overdri've, I would only use one?WITHOUT ?PlaysforSure subscription firmware. That way, the electronic library books?never expire, until you delete them yourself.?I prefer to keep my audiobooks separate from my music. I love the Zen Nano plus GB or the 52MB. These days you can buy the GB for $65-70 from Amazon or Creative. These players can hold four or fi've?audiobooks. Granted they don't have bookmarking as such, but you just?do a pause and?turn it off and the?player starts up where you left off.?Just remember if you buy a bigger flash player with subscription ability for your music, any electronic library audiobook will expire?after 2 days. Are planning on just buying all your audiobooks? Have you checked into the new Zen V and?Zen V plus to use for your music??Best wishes,luvmyrescuedogs

Please Help - I am looking for an mp3 player that has the following features

Hi, I am looking for an mp3 player that has the following features:
1) Either a 30GB or more HDD, OR a sd OR a micro SD card slot for a 2GB card. (Note, I can buy an adapter so my sd cards fit into a compact flash slot. However, I did look at the Zen Vision M but I didn't see how to delete tracks from?my playlists.)
2) I need to be able to delete tracks in my playlists that I create in Windows Media Player (.wpl or .m3u format).
3) I need to be able to copy these updated playlists back to my pc, either with the usb cable or SD / microSD card.
Which products meet my needs? I li've in California, USA.
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks! I did not know that. I have been looking for an mp3 player for a long time & did not realize the one I wanted was right in front of my nose! [ at Walmart]

How can sony claim to not have a comparable replacement for an mp3 player???

I purchased an 8GB mp3 player about 1.5 months ago with my sony rewards points and it was on sale for ~$52. The product turned out to be a complete dud so I returned it and was told it would be replaced since it's under warranty. Now customer service calls to say they don't have a comparable product to replace it with and want to send me a check for $52. How can Sony claim to not be able to replace an 8GB mp3 player?? Ridiculous. It's right there on the website. The product is no longer on sale so I can't go buy a replacement with the $52. Why is Sony trying to weasel out of replacing the product??

DieselDucy, please check your inbox.
dug, your case is not being taken care of.

Looking for J2ME MP3 Player Code

Hello,
I just started writing a J2ME MP3 player application. The MP3 files are stored in the device's flash memory, not streamed through the air. The user interface would be simple and device-independent. I am searching for source code that I can learn from or modify. Is there a J2ME MP3 player open-source code?
T.I.

i've got one but i will never give you the code !!!!
i can help you with your code (errors, debugging,...) and give you some tips to start:
1- search on google
2- start coding
3- test your app and come here when you will have a problem with the Manager.createPlayer.....
good luck !

Looking for an mp3 player for a webpage

because of apple I'm staying away from flash players for now...
I 'm lloking for a simple to use mp3 player that's customizable - for example :
read & display xml playlists
make the list of viewable songs what we choose - like 10 songs or 20 songs - without scroll bars...
I'm lookimg at:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_mp3.html
http://playlist.software.informer.com/download-playlist-embedded-website-media-player/
Any opinions are welcome

Here's what I'm doing:
HTML5.
Here is the code and it is really simple:
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="../path/filename.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="../path/filename.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element. <a href="../path/filename.mp3">Right-Click here</a> and choose Save file as… to download the .MP3 file</audio>
Works in all browsers. Works in all media players that support mpeg audio. But here's a word of warning:
Some browsers may not know that the ogg audio is there, so you may need to edit your .htacess file (on Apache) or your filetypes (on Microsoft IIS servers) to include it.
Here's the change to put into .htaccess. I don't use IIS:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
That will enable both ogg video and audio. Without these lines, Firefox may not play your file.
To make your audio files, please see this link.

Using itunes files for differnt MP3 player

In our household we have 2 iPods and a seperate generic MP3 player. I cannot get itunes songs to the generic MP3 player. It seems almost impossible to copy these.
Does anyone have any ideas?

The DRM protected songs from the iTunes store (the ones that cost .99 and show up as "Protected AAC" if you sort by kind in iTunes) will only work on iPods, your computer and certain iTunes compatible cell phones. They won't work on other mp3 players.
The newer, DRM-free tracks (so far only music on the EMI label, which cost 1.29 and shou up as AAC when sorted by kind) will play on players that support eh AAC format. Some players do and some don't. Check your owner's manual.
Even if your player supports AAC, you won't be able to use iTunes to transfer the files. Again, check the owner's manual for your player to determine how to load music on to it.

Need Win98SE Driver for Creative MP3 Player LX/MX

3. I.05
Dear Creative Support:
I am trying to locate the Win98SE driver to enable use of my Creative Digital mp3 Player LX/MX200 on an older PC. I forgot to bring the disk along with me containing the Win98SE driver. Win98 will not detect the device without it and would not locate it over the Internet.
I could not find the driver anywhere on the Creative Technologies web site.
Do you know where I could locate the driver off the Internet?
Thanks for your help,
Jon

ps: After intalling and registering i got a note telling me that i could now download the driver... But it didn't say where!!!!
(One more thing: I need a USB driver... sorry)

Suggestion for new mp3 player (had a creative zen mic

Well time for me to get a new mp3 player. Because Creative wasn't very good at honouring my warranty (four players didn't work properly and they wouldn't replace the fourth) I am reluctant to get another creative. But if you guys tell me they have come along way AND I can use my previous charger with a new player, then I'll consider it.Suggestions?

i have the zen v plus and i am quite happy with it, i just updated to the latest firmware, it charges by plugging into your computer USB (cable provided) its a budget nano competitor that has great user interface and i personally thing the design is really cool and it plays videos, but im trying to get creative to include compression video support in future firmware cause the video it supports is like 4 MB to 8 seconds of video :| the sound quality is pretty good, but then again i dont know your standards it has an inbuilt FM receiver and line in/mic recording
im really happy with it.

How do I change an MP-4 to an MP-3 file for my MP3 player?

I have downloaded a bunch of albums to my new Nextar MP3 player and was really frustrated that only a few of them would play. After many frustrating hours I finally figured out many of my albums were MP-4. Is there a way to change them to MP-3? I'm not real computer savy so please try to keep this simple as possible IF there is a way.
Thank you

Other than play them on an authorized computer or on an iPod, the only thing you can do with protected tracks is to burn them to an audio CD which you can use as you would any other audio CD.
Best of luck.

Zen- Issue with dowloading software for my mp3 player from your site

So my husband removed my software for my 8GB zen off the laptop and without it the laptop doesn't recognize my mp3 player. I came to the site to re-download it (as the installation CD has been gone for a while) and your download links on your website take me to this site. So exactly how am I supposed to get the software?

Hello,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Thanks for letting us know. This seems to be a server issue. Tried it on other download links and got the same error too. I will report this to the server team. Sorry for the inconvenience.

NEED RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW MP3 PLAYER

I have a Clip+ and a Fuze+, but both are old and the battery will not hold a charge for very long. I've been considering the Clip Sport. I love the interface of my old Fuze+...the way all your music (internal and external drives) all show up on one list. I also saw on Sandisk.com that for the Clip Sport the higest SDHC card recommended for mp3 is 8GB. I can live with that, I guess. Does anyone find it inconvenient to go back and forth from the internal drive to the card when selecting music to play or for making a playlist? I'd really like to get a Clip Zip, but I found an grossly overpriced refurb on ebay. Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably priced Clip Zip? I'll be looking forward to hearing from users RE recommendations for a new player. Thanks in advance.

"I'd really like to get a Clip Zip, but I found an grossly overpriced refurb on ebay." Refurb Clip Zip 4GB players are priced at $30 on Ebay. Yes, new ones are a bit expensive. At less than half the price of a new one though, imo the refurbs are worth the risk, especially if you buy two of them. As for the Clip Sport, it has a limit of 2,000 songs for each of the internal memory and the card memory. I use 256 kbps mp3 for my music. It took around 14GB for me to reach the 2,000 song limit, so I use a 16GB card in my Clip Sport. A 16GB card holds around 14.6GB or so of files. The Sport can't combine songs from internal and card memory into a single playlist. I also have Clip+ and Clip Zip players which I have put Rockbox on. Rockbox is a free alternative firmware (operating system) which is available for the Clip+, Clip Zip, Fuze, and Fuze+, but not the Clip Sport or Clip Jam. Rockbox enables many additional features, and has a huge song database. Some format 128GB micro SDXC card as FAT 32, fill it with songs, and use it in a Rockboxed Clip+ or Rockboxed Clip Zip. The Clip Sport is okay if you don't have a large number of songs you want on the player. Some might buy a 4GB one for example, and use the internal storage for classical music and podcasts, and have a 16GB or 32GB card in it for rock music. If you are okay with 2,000 or fewer songs on a player, then the Clip Sport would be good for you. Yes, you could put around another 1,000 songs in internal memory at 256 kbps if you get an 8GB Sport, but then you couldn't integrate those together in a playlist with songs on the card. Depending on the average length of your songs, you might need a 32GB card to reach the 2,000 song limit, especially if your songs are at 320kbps mp3. Also keep in mind that Sandisk players(except for those that support Rockbox and have Rockbox installed on them) have trouble with cards faster than class 4, so using a Sandisk class 4 micro SDHC card is advise for maximum compatability. Some 32GB cards by other makers might cause problems in Sandisk players even if they are class 4 or slower.

Looking for a MP3 Player with good Bass.

Hi,
I have a Nokia N73 Music edition phone. The built in MP3 player gives a decent output, but deep bass sounds are not reproduced properly and the overall sound is not very impressive (not crisp). I tested with two pairs of good Philips and Sony head phones, using a 2.5 mm audio converter (problem is not with the headphones).
Is there a good Symbian MP3 player with a good equalizer or special signal processing features to produce deeper bass sounds? (Like Sony Ericsson MegaBase)

Whatever you do to the sound with the processor (or a DSP) will be a compromise if the output stages aren't up to scratch.
The only things you can do are
increase the bass level (causes clipping in loud passages - I'm guessing this is what you tried and didn't like)
compress the bass (bass will be loud enough in quiet passages, but won't be louder in the loud passages - I think this is a bit more processor intensive and complex and doubt there's any software that does it)
or
reduce the treble and midrange (you will have to turn the volume up, but if you can that's the best option as it should be lower in distortion). I would try this last idea and see how that does.
