A few quick questions about my new MP3 pla

Ok, I like to get to know anything I buy so I decided to come here and ask, I hope you dont mind answering (My MP3 player is the MuVo c00):
) In the instruction manual it says that play WMA file reduce the battery life of your player. Since converting them reduces the size by a fair bit I was wondering if the reduced battery life was worth it and how much it reduces the battery life.
2) When is a good time to replace the bettery in my player? Should I wait for it to completly die or what because I dont want to go replacing batteries 3 quarters full.
3) Is there any sound or quality differences between MP3 format and WMA?
4) Is the program that came with the player the best thing to add music with or would buying something else do the trick or even just copy and paste?
5) Finally, how do you attach the neck strap? I dont see any place where it could go unless you have to attach it with the arm band on it.
Thanks for your help and I might have some more question but untill further notice this is all I have and again thaks for your time.

. You have to bear in mind this is for an equivalent MP3 e.g. a 28 kbit/s encoded WMA is going to use more power than a 28 kbit/s MP3. Normally WMAs are encoded at a lower rate anyway, hence will use less power. There are many factors that affect battery usage.
2. Wait for it to go flat.
3. Complex answer. In general WMA is used when you want more space and aren't so worried about quality, at the 64 - 28 kbit/s range. MP3s (using the LAME encoder) are better at the higher bit-rates of 92 kbit/s. The bottom line is try a few different bit-rates for both MP3 and WMA, take a listen, and decide for yourself.
4. With the MuVo it's very easy, just use Windows Explorer to copy files. I wouldn't buy any other software, unless you find something you really like to create MP3/WMA files.
5. Not sure on this one...

  • A few quick questions about publishing for iPhone/Android

    I'm currently developing an iPhone/Android game in CS5 and I just have a few quick questions.  If anyone can answer even one or two I'd really appreciate it
    1- I'm developing using a 320 x 480 resolution for the iphone.  When I tested it, the status bar on the top of the screen makes the edges disappear.  How should I turn off the status bar?  And if I can't what resolution should I use?
    2- The performance is a little slow, and the game isn't very intense at all.  What's a good way to improve performance?
    3- For Android, what should I do for the resolution?  Is there a standard resolution or do I have to have multiple resolutions for multiple devices?
    4- Finally, is it worth getting the free trial of CS5.5 before I publish?  Is there anything in there that will be a huge improvement over CS5?
    All help is appreciated

    1. Publish in fullscreen
    2. Use bitmaps, cache all bitmaps, use minimized looping structure etc.
        http://www.yeahbutisitflash.com/?p=986
    3. Android: 480 * 800
    4. Not that much, but you have GUI updates and have a GUI publishing screen for packager for iphone too.

  • Quick Questions about the New T530

    With the T530 finally showing up online for those of us in the U.S., I have thrown it into the pool of models I am considering and comparing it to the T520, but it is getting very hard to find information about it. Here are my top questions about it that I can not find answer to.
    #1: Can the backlight on the keyboard (if you choose to get one with it) be toggled? If so, would it be through bios, a key combo, or software?
    #2: Will accessories for the T520 be compatible with the T530? Including the 9-cell and the slice?
    #3: Because this is a new item, and there might be high demand, is there a possibility of shipments bottlenecking? I.E.: if I buy one right now, will my order get postponed multiple times and take months?
    Sorry if these answers have already been answered elsewhere, but I really did try (used Google and the forum search) to find the answers before posting. Plus, I'm sure there are a few people like me trying to decide between the T520 and Ivy-equipped T530, so maybe this thread will help them too.

    joshua144,
    This is a bit outside my area of expertise, but I don't think the slice battery from T420/T520/W520 generation will work on the new systems like T430/T530/W530 which require battery authentication.
    Check the tabook  http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf  to know which battery options are supported on which systems.  And note that the slice battery option for T520 is different than the slice battery option for T530.
    Just because the 28++ battery (from your link) is backwards-compatible with the older systems, does not mean the older batteries like 27++ are forward-compatible with the new systems.
    As for your other question about FN and CTRL, the FN button is still on the outside of the keyboard just like ThinkPad has always been.  And there is still the BIOS option to swap CTRL and FN.

  • Question about Charging ZEN MP3 Pla

    Hello, I just got a brand-new ZEN 4GB MP3 player. I have a question about charging it. Is the device done charging when the battery icon blinking in the top-right displays as full, or should I be waiting for some other indication (done charging message, etc.)?
    Thanks,
    Brett

    The icon should be a full bar with a little plug in the middle when it's fully charged.

  • Two quick questions about the new iMacs...

    I work at a church, and this summer, we are breaking ground on a new building. I am hoping to get a new iMac to go in the new sound booth to run the Power Point. Two questions:
    Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
    Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?
    Thanks!
    Matthew

    <<Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
    Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?>>
    I know Apple offers education and government discounts... I'm not aware of discounts for church organizations.
    Yes, the iMac CD offers support for dual monitors, mirrored and extended.

  • Quick question about Creative DVD audio pla

    Hi all,
    I loaded all the drivers and software that came with my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. The kit came with a DVD audio sampler disc. When I put the DVD audio disc into my computer DVD ROM dri've, it automatically navigates to the Creative Audio DVD player. The only problem is that the "play" button is greyed out. It will not play the disc. It show in the staus window that the sampler disc is there and ready to go. I have tried every button but can not get to play.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,

    Now when I launch the DVD audio player and try to click on a button it just freezes up and have to end the program in task manager

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

    Hi
    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
    I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
    Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
    Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
    (I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
    So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
    While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
    My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT:
    If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
    I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!
    OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
    Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
    Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

  • Two questions about the new iWeb

    Hi
    I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
    1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
    2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
    thanks

    Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

  • Some questions about my new MacBook Air.

    I just got my MacBook Air 13" last Wednesday and I've been absolutely loving it. It's super portable and the battery is phenomenal. I just have a few quick questions to double check that everything is okay:
    1) The bottom left corner tends to hover a little bit on some surfaces (but not on others). Yes, the surfaces may not be flat, but why is it always the bottom left one that's hovering? If I put a piece of paper underneath then it is at the same height as the other sides. If there's nothing underneath and I push on it there's a slight clunk of the foot touching the surface, which is not audible for the other sides of the laptop. It's not a huge deal and it's barely noticeable, but I just want to hear what you guys think.
    2) When I turn the laptop upside down and shake it (turned off, of course) it sounds like something is loose. Is it supposed to sound like something is flopping around or is there supposed to be no sound? Or should I just stop shaking my laptop? Haha.
    3) My laptop randomly turned off today while I was using it and I had to hold the power button for it to turn back on. Is this a big issue or does this tend to happen? I've never owned a Mac so I don't know what to think of this.
    4) I was using it on my lap once and when I'd rest my left hand on the bottom left side (same side as in my 1st point) there would be a clunk if I pushed hard enough, as if the metal was hitting against something. I just tried it again and it seems not to be there anymore but I'm just wondering if this would be considered normal.
    I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

    If the unevenness is there on different surfaces then the case may be warped. I have had 4 MacBooks and not had this. Will be very disconcerting when typing. Ditto with rattle - you shouldn't shake your laptop, but it certainly shouldn't have something loose inside. Get it exchanged. The replacement should be free of these problems (but don't shake it about too much - not a good idea).

  • A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

    Hello ,
    I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3  for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
    - I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
    Thanks Ubergeeks,
    Guy

    Hi Guy
    You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because  a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
    For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

  • QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

    Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
    Nathan

    Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
    However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
    Only experimentation will answer that one.

  • Quick question about SATA 2

    Hi,
    Very quick question,
    Are the newer SATA2 Hard Disks compatible with the older model of the Mac Pro? May sound stupid, but I believe that the Mac Pro was released before the SATA 2, so just wanted to check the Mac Pro hardware etc will take SATA 2.
    By older model of Mac Pro, I mean the one released before the newest available models (2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core).
    Thanks!

    Hi 02drummersteve02;
    SATA 2 is backwards compatible with SATA 1. So you can install SATA 2 drives in a SATA 1 computer.

  • Few basic questions about database administration

    Hello,
    I have a few basic questions about database administration.
    1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
    2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
    3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien.

    1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
    2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
    3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

  • Few questions about my new Lumia 920

    Hi.
    First of I'm loving the new phone.  I bought it outright and I'm currently using my rolling contact in it.  I'm on EE in the UK.
    I too have had a few hard restarts but I find it's when I'm installing an app.  Fingers crossed a software update will sort out this problem.
    Anyway a couple of quick questions.  Is there a way I can turn of the Facebook pictures appearing in my photo's ?  Also is there a way of turning of the notification bar at the top of the phone when a text message comes in ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Mythril.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Facebook albums can only be removed from the gallery if you remove the facebook account from the phone. You can use the facebook app instead but facebook will no longer be linked to your contacts in the people hub.
    There is no way to stop the message pop up yet, Microsoft has yet to add an option to stop it.
