A mp3 player [Solved!]

Hi,
I thought I would treat myself to a new mp3player ... not content with getting a small stick like thing .... I went in search of a player that would play ogg as well as mp3/4 files
so I found this
Anyway I though I would hunt around & get a good price .... which I did
Not thinking of what would happen next!!!!
Goods arrived no problem I connected up device only to be told that it will only work with XP arrrggghhh!!!!
Off I went & googled for help.... found the sulu project
I have installed sulu but it does not find device ;-(
If anyone knows of a cool mp3/ogg player with around 20gb of storage & works with Linux please let me know
Thanks for listening

well i dont know about your particular device but if you can & want to return id recommend
creative Zen Xtra i have had mine about a year the wifes had hers almost 2 the battery life is dependant on how much you search around it skipping songs what not but i would say its got a fairly good battery life like 10 hrs if you jump around playlists like i tend to do
if you just turn it on setup a whole bunch of music let it play it would last longer
we have both dropped our players more than once (whoooppssiiieeeee)
so i say they are sturdy
as for linux Gnomad2 is awesome for editing meta data setting up playlists
draw backs it only plays mp3,wav no video no ogg,flac,shn
oh if your looking for FREE music of say a hippie genre checkout Etree.org
just thought id throw this in here

[solved] Can't mount Samsung YP-U3 mp3 player

Hi all,
I have a Samsung YP-U3 mp3 player, which currently I can't use as it won't mount. I've spend a while trying to figure this out, so any help is appreciated!
EDIT: I don't wish to use Amarok etc. Also I've tried mtpfs, but it doesn't show any of the actual files. I'm trying go-mtpfs, but can't install it. I get the following response from yaourt:

Solved.
Firstly, I didn't have git installed. When I did, I could install go-mtpfs, which does a little better than mtpfs by the looks of things.

[SOLVED] ID3 tags not registering on MP3 Player

I just got a new MP3 player, and some of the ID3 tags that I've set on my music don't register. I have some other songs that were set on a Windows computer; these show up perfectly find. Every tag editor I've ever used has this problem.
What is a way to convert the ID3 tags into a format that my mp3 player (a coby MP826-8G) will be able to understand?
EDIT: Duh, I was using id3v2 instead of id3v1. Apparently most hardware music players don't read id3v2 yet.
Last edited by ProfessorProcrastinator (2014-05-17 23:54:20)

indeed, the tracks do have both v1.x and v2.x tags. Obviously, iTunes only accepts v1.1 tags. v2.x tags or mp3, who have both tags attached, will not be displayed in iTunes.
I have deleted the v2.x from the problem mp3-files using the "mp3tag" - tool. After re-importing the files into iTunes,
everything was fine.
Thanks,

[Solved] Automount Generic MP3 Player with UTF-8 encoding

Hello, everybody!
Ubuntu refugee here.
So far I'm going fine with Arch, I just have a couple of problems related to my Generic USB Mp3 player:
1) I want HAL to mount the player with UTF-8 encoding. Right now, it shows Arabic characters as ??????.
2) In Ubuntu, it used to recognize the player as an MP3 player, give it a nice icon, and add it as a music source in Rhythmbox. In Arch, on the other hand, the player is mounted as a generic USB flash drive. How can I make Arch recognize it as an MP3 player?
Thanks in advance.

GOT IT WORKING!! Yay!
I got the solution from here:
http://blog.pcode.nl/2006/08/24/introdu … io-player/
The trick is to make HAL identify your Digital Audio Player (DAP) by adding a rule to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi -- and since, in my case, Ubuntu already had a 10-usb-music-players.fdi file that recognized my player, all I had to do was boot up from an Ubuntu live cd and copy Ubuntu's 10-usb-music-players.fdi over Arch's.
Now my issues with Arch are down to only one: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=360647
Thanks everybody.

TS1424 I have 2 artists - beyonce and celine dion - songs in my itunes library on my computer but when I try and download to my mp3 player it says I do not have media rights. Only these 4 songs have that problem.

I have 2 artists - Beyonce and Celine Dion - their purchased songs in my ITunes library cannot be imported to my MP3 player. My other 200 songs have no problems. Get a message that there are no "Media Rights". I have no idea how to solve.

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

C7 - mp3 player

Hi, I've recently updated my 6303 to C7 I have problem with mp3 player. I like to listen music from various artist group in on file directory ( mix of music). In 6303 I could play music from file directory (player played all pieces in directory), in C7 player plays only one piece and thats all. I can't create playlist, because I have to add piece by piece, but in 6303 I could add all directory. Help me please, is there any other player I could use? Or maybe Nokia release new firmware that fix my problem?

I understand your problem well, as I had the same problem with my old 6120c. I assumed Nokia would have solved this problem on my C7. Are you sure you were able to play a whole folder on another Nokia phone?
When you play a song from the file directory it's as if the phones explorer is playing the song. It's not possible to use any of the mp3 players functions, such as creating a playlist when you play music from a folder.
The solutions I've come up with are the following:
SOLUTION 1. create a playlist on your computer and copy the files to a folder (media monkey works great for this). In that folder select all tracks and rename the album to the name you wish for the playlist. This way when you copy the folder to your C7 you can find the playlist in the music library of the mp3 player. However, before the album/artist shows up in the music library, you have to select "refresh library" from the options.
Unfortunately another problem with the C7 is that you cannot search for albums or artists separately, but only artists and albums combined. When you find the album, under an arbitrary artist's name (not the first in the list) you can hold your finger down on the album and choose "add to playlist" and create a playlist from the whole album.
SOLUTION 2. Make sure all your mp3s are correctly tagged with the artist names and albums and browse through your library adding on track at a time....
Wouldn't it be great if the programmers saved us users time by actually fixing such problems and programming a user-friendly mp3 player?
When using the MP3 Player on the C7 I get the feeling the programmers never used an MP3 player. They're still listening to cassettes while programming. Even my old 6120's mp3 player had better library browsing: including separate menus for tracks, artists, albums, track lists, genres and composers and an option to search in all these menus!
Hope I helped you out!

JWIN MP3 player--HELP!!!

Hi everyone; first, I will say I am a computer/technology MORON!! I got a JWIN MP3 player from my employer as an anniversary gift, and I am ready to throw it out a window. I was able to download a few songs from MP3 Raid on the Web, and that's cool. I tried last night to do several more and they didn't transfer; they are saved to my computer, though. And I did the same steps as the first time, so I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Unless you can choose your anniversary gift, it is usually something small and/or cheap. Our 5 year anniversary gift is usually a stainless steel Skagen watch. I like it.

ITunes (6.0.2) won't recognize my mp3 player (Rio Cali 128 MSD)

The player mounts on the desktop, but iTunes doesn't display it in the source list.
What gives?
Apple claims iTunes has built-in support for this mp3 player, and I've used them successfully in the past (with v's 4 and 5 of iTunes). Now I have to manually load it in the Finder.
Booo iTunes, booo.

well, I am surprised, but i follwed apple's ipod troubleshooting guide step by step and my problem was solved!
Restarted ipod, restarted computer and voila!

MMC card and MP3 player - 1/2 capacity after format?

Hi,
I got an MP3 player (1 Gb) and a MMC card (2 Gb) and after format in a USB card reader from OS X 10.4.7, they are now 512 Kb and I Gb respectively. MS Dos or Mac format doesn't matter.
Is it a USB 1 or 2 problem?
Any one know about this?
EF

Well I have solved the problems and I post here in case others encounter them.
The MMC/SDC card was fixed by getting a true USB 2.0 card reader, the one I had was about USB 1 & 5/8 ths.
The MP3 player was a rip off, sold as 1 Gb but really only 512 Kb see:

My Disk Utility is not working, also can't eject a mp3 player

I attached the mp3 player to the computer and downloaded some music on it. This went OK. When I went to eject it by right clicking on the player and choosing eject, it would not eject. So I opened Disk Utility to try and eject the disk and now find that Disk Utility won't open.
When I do force-quit Disk Utility the message says Disk Utility is not responding so there is a problem with Disk utility.
This is the first time I've had problems with Disk Utility and with ejecting a disk.
I don't want to pull the mp3 player out as it could do something funny to the disk as that happened before when I accidentally removed the mp3 player without ejecting it first.
However, the mp3 player has been OK for a while now and this happens.
What can I do?
Should I restart the computer and see if that solves the problems?

Are you receiving an error message when you try to eject via the Finder? Normally you should get a message along the lines "The disk * could not be ejected because the application * is using it" or something like that.
You could just shut down and unplug the mp3 player then, but it would be interesting to find out the cause of the problem. Do you know exactly what files are on the player?

LG Cosmos 2 MP3 player describes certain MP3 artists or albums as "NONE"

I just upgraded to an LG Cosmos 2 mostly for its MP3 player capabilities, and now when I load a test directory of MP3s onto my 32gb microSDHC card, the artists or albums of certain mp3s are both displayed through the phone as "NONE."
In Windows 7 64, I selected all of the MP3s, selected properties, and under details, put in the artist's name, and they all appear fine in Windows, but some are still described as "NONE" in the phone. I also group selected them by album, manually entered the name, and some are fine, but some are still described as "NONE" in the phone. I've had to rename the main MP3 directory they're in to get the phone to re-load the files' information (MP3 to MP3x for example), but it's still no use.
Anyone experienced/solved this problem? I have about 5,000 MP3s I was expecting to simply load onto this phone, but if it's this big of a pain, I might as well just send this phone back.

There are a bunch of programs that will identify the tag version. But out of the tag programs that I have, I could identify just three that will identify tag version and also the encoding used (ISO-8859 or Unicode -- some tag programs use the terms ANSI or ASCII instead of ISO or ISO-8859).
Using any of these will also give you the opportunity to double-check for the presence of the album and artist info in those particular files giving you a hard time.

Not Toshiba.
At this link there is some discussion about that unit. It appears to be a "no-name" brand, possibly from China.
http://www.rv-coach.com/current_category.181/Forum.134730/forum_thread_full.html
You can try getting a universal remote and trying a number of settings till you find one that works.
I recommend if you post on other boards, that you indicate that you don't know what brand it is. Otherwise people will assume you mean the brand associated with the board, like I did.

Mp3 player not recognized. (Vision: M 60

Hello.
I am using Win XP MCE. I just installed all the drivers that came with the CD. I had the MP3 player unplugged as instructed, and connected it at the point it asked me to. It is plugged into a port I know works, because it is the one I used for my old MP3 player.
Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Are you getting the following error message?
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I've been getting this message for months and nothing seems to fix the issue.
I even tried

And their program said I was running the latest version of XP, but for some reason the drivers won't recognize.
