IPod compatibility- VW Jetta equipped with MP3 player

I recently bought a new (2007) VW Jetta with an MP3 player factory installed. Does anyone know what I need to do or what accessories I need to buy to get my iPod to work with the MP3 player?

You need to read the manual and see if the stereo plays MP3 CDs or if you can connect an MP3 player up to it (or both).
There is a spot in the glove compartment for what I thought was the MP3 player and I just assumed I'd plug something into that?
Possibly. What kind of a connection is it?
If it's for the stereo, it should have a USB jack to plug into.

Rsync/unison to/with mp3-player, problem with permissions

Hi,
I'm trying to sync my music database with my mp3-player via rsync or unison, but both complain about the mp3 being a read-only device (It's detected as a FAT32 harddrive, btw.).
The interesting thing is: It is not mounted read-only. I can copy music onto it just fine via e.g. thunar, only the two sync programs complain.
What could be the problem?

The error messages are variations of:
rsync: chgrp "/media/path/to/file/on/mp3" failed: Read-only file system (30)
Seems like it's permissions-related, so maybe I should get rid of the "keep permissions" option implied in rsync -a. I'll try that and the udev rule, thanks.
Another thing: Unison takes AGES to check for changes (and I do mean ages, ~10s per file). Is that normal?
[edit:]
Another error:
rsync: mkstemp "/media/path/to/file/on/mp3/*.ogg.w7qqip" failed: Read-only file system (30)
I haven't played around with the rsync-options yet. I tried the udev rule though, didn't help. One thing is strange: the rule sets gid=100(=users), but all the dirs/files on the device are <mylogin>:root owned. Shouldn't that be <mylogin>:users?

Video full screen Widget is uncompatible with MP3 player Widget

Hi
Has anyone come accross this problem?
As soon as you have the MP3 Player in place, the Full Screen video Widget goes mental.
Not a biggy but, still, anoying

Hi,
The site you have shared also has the bottom part of the background image/slideshow hidden behind the footer bar - and that is the behavior that Muse fullscreen slideshow exhibits.
You can use a standard slideshow at 100% flexible width with a fixed height but then it won't stretch or contract vertically in response to browser.

Ipod adaptor for car stereo with cd player not tape

If my car stereo has just got a front loading cd player does anyone know an adaptor - preferable in apple store - that i can use? The only ones i have seen use the tape player.
Thanks

b Various Methods to Connect to a Car Stereo System, or Listen to Your iPod in the Vehicle
b Best:
Direct connection via the dock connector or headphone jack of your iPod, to the mini-jack input (or AUX RCA input jacks) of your car stereo. Not many low/moderate-end cars have this feature yet, but it is becoming more popular. Some aftermarket auto stereo units may have this feature.
There are also some after-market, moderate to fairly expensive direct interfaces, that hook into your existing car stereo to provide a high-quality, direct connection. Most will also power/charge the iPod. Pretty slick, but can be pricey ($80-$300). If money is no object, a clean way to go. Not very portable from car to car if at all.

http://www.theistore.com/ipod2car.html
http://www.mp3yourcar.com/
b Better:
Connect your iPod to a cassette adaptor and play your tunes through your car's cassette player. Some new cars no longer come with a cassette player, so it may not be an option. It will provide even better audio quality if you can run the audio feed out of the dock connector (see the SendStation link below). Can be portable between cars that have a cassette player and also be used in your home cassette system.
b Good:
Attach an FM transmitter to your iPod and play the tunes through an unused FM station. Convenient, but wireless FM transmitter signals are susceptible to static and outside interference, and can vary in strength and quality depending on your location. Some noticeable degradation and distortion, depending on the quality of the transmitter, the sensitivity of your ears and the airwave congestion in your area. Highly portable between cars, and may be used in a home system. FM transmitters that need to be plugged into a DC auto jack may not work in a home environment (without some sort of adaptor).
b Marginal:
Attach an external speaker system to the iPod and play it in the car. Workable, but not too good - unless you spring for a $300+ Bose (or similar) system. But why? Only if your vehicle has no Stereo system, perhaps.
b Brave Techno-Geek:
This site gives some direction on adapting your own car stereo by yourself: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/ . Risky, but it has been successful: Seanski, "silent track" #2, 11:59pm Jul 15, 2005 CDT
Whichever you choose, power the iPod through your cars DC power -- either from a power adapter, or as part of the combined audio adaptor. Have a method to secure the iPod to the dash/console/etc. See the reviews for all the various accessories at the iLounge
You will also get better audio output if the dock connection plug is used, rather than the headphone jack. See this URL for a novel adaptor: https://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pd_lousb.html. Others types are also available via this site.
I have read positive and negative reviews of each method, and within method there are great variations in performance of different manufacture's systems and peoples opinions of their performance. Some cassette adaptors/FM transmitters work poorly, some better.
FWIW: I have the iTrip Mini & the Newer Technology RoadTrip!+ FM transmitters, a Belkin cassette adaptor (used both with & w/out the PocketDock) and two vehicles with the BlitzSafe direct interface. Using the same song in the same car, I found that the FM transmitters worked, but not as good as the cassette adapter via the headphone jack. Using the PocketDock on the cassette adapter resulted in a significant audio quality improvement. As expected, the Blitzsafe direct connect was exceptionally better than everything else: less tinny, a more warmer/richer sound, and close to true CD quality.

Problem with mp3 Player in Safari

Here's my page again.
http://charlesnewmanpubl.com/catalog.html
So it looks like I have this page just as I want it. But I'm seeing an odd issue.
When you click on any of the tracks in the cd, it calls a function which changes the album art, plays the track, and gives you a button where you can download the track.
This all is working great. But in Safari, not in Firefox (I haven't tested this in IE as yet. No access to a PC), when you click the download button, the time as shown in the player displays only the amount of time between the page load, and when you clicked the download button. And the player will stop playing at that point. So say you have a track which the player initially reports as being 5:23, then you click a few seconds later on the download button, the time for the track will display as only 0:45, and will only play to that point and then stop.
As I said, this not happening in Firefox.
Can someone help me to understand what's going on, and what to do about it?
Thanks.

Hey xnathanmeyerx,
Please select Line-In of Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 as the default Input for the Mac computer. It can be configured at Sound under the Mac System Preferences. I hope this helps.

IPOD Touch is an MP3 player ???

hi,
Had some various replies that iPOD touch is an iPOD mp3 player foremost. This is the reply that we get due to some basic features missing in some of the other apps.
All good, no worries, as it is a mp3 player after all.
Here is my question:
When in any other iPOD Touch App (e.g. MAIL, MAPS, Safari, etc.) and have the mp3 player playing a song how do I:
Change the Volume
Forward
Pause, etc.
At this stange it seems like I need to Navigate back to the Music player and the use the normal hot buttons.
Is there any sort of shortcut where we can do the normal mp3 player functions (volume, pause, next song, etc.) without navigating all the way back. It is a bit annoying and seems like the old iPOD was better here as the mp3 player operating buttons were always available.
(someone said that the iPhone has some buttons on the side to control the volume. So no need to navigate back to the music player to do this. However, am not sure how the other functions can be accessed without navigating all the way back).
Does my question make sense> ?
Message was edited by: iTunes_user

thanks. it works if you are really fast and use your nail.
maybe it would be better if we could tap on the iPOD top right play icon to bring up a basic menu with functions for the mp3 player.

What other functions do you think Apple should add to the home button double (use your nail) press?
thanks again.

How can I listen to songs I purchased on Itunes with my generic Mp3 player?

I was given $50 Itunes credit for Christmas and promptly bought an album from itunes. I actually could have bought the album as a real CD at the local store but thought I'd use my itunes voucher instead.
Now I find that I can not just copy and paste the songs or convert the songs into mp3 format so that I can play the songs in my portable mp3 player.
I don't want to buy an ipod as am very happy with the player I have.
So the albun is stuck on my laptop.
Any advice or solution would be appreciated please.

I'm curious...If it's a record company restriction, then why is it that Amazon can sell them in unrestricted MP3 format, as you say.
It is up to each retailer to reach agreements with their suppliers. Different agreements may be reached.
I haven't checked out Amazon yet so maybe they have different music for sale, not from the major record companies?
The amazon.com MP3 Download Store carries all 4 major labels. (The fourth, Sony, was added in January 2008.) However, it is not available in Australia.

Using with Hotel MP3 player clocks

Many hotels have clocks with MP3 player connections. I can get my Touch alarm set, and the selected alarm sound will play thru the desktop alarm/clock, but I can't figure out (if there is a way) to have the Touch play something from the Library at the chosen alarm time. The only selections under Edit Alarm/Sound are 5 sounds.
Am I asking the impossible?

I think a universal "none" is probably a bit presumptuous. If you're able to get music onto the player in Windows via drag and drop, I see no reason why that won't work on the Mac as well, provided that your Mac can recognize the drive. I would imagine it can, as I've never come across a PC formatted drive that my Mac didn't recognize.
There is also a freeware application called XNJB that apparently works as an interface between a Mac and a Creative MP3 player. I haven't used either, so can't vouch for them at all.
Just that like I said, a universal "none" is probably a bit presumptuous.

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!

HELP How to download music from Musicstore to play on MP3 Player

I just bought a okley sunglasses with MP3 Player... How can I buy music in a MP3 format on internet... Apparently the only way to buy/download music from internet on a mac it's with the music store but then it won't allow me to convert it into a MP3 file!!!! Do you have any solutions.. please help me i'm desperate... thanks

There is a workaround.
You have to burn purchased music on Audio CD first, then re-import it in the format of your choice.
If you buy complete albums, this method is economic and you have a backup.
For single purchases this won't be much of a help.

How do I make bootable USB mp3 player/flash disk?

hi
i have a big problem. less than a month ago i have backed up my computer using the latest version of Norton ghost v10.0. i then burned the data on to a DVD and i kept it safe. today i encountered a problem i could not cess the internet on my laptop, nor uninstall/install a program, nor get access to help and support. therefore i got the backup DVD inserted it into the DVD drive i opened Norton ghost clicked recovery and then clicked recover my computer. i told it where to look for the backup and then started restore but i then ran into an error message which says the below:
cannot complete the restore of recovery point d:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i
-Error EC8F178F: Cannot complete the restore of recovery point: D:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i.
--Error EC8F03F1: Cannot open recovery point 'D:\Toshiba ghost image001.v2i'.
---Error EBAB03E9: Internal Application Error: Memory Access Violation c0000005: Application tried to read memory at 034bac3c.
i have another way of restoring the data this is by making a mp3 player or flash disk boot the computer but on the flash disk there will be the operating system. is there any way to make the flash disk bootable.
i would like to know this because if it boots up from the flash disk or mp3 i can then delete the contents on the HDD and restore the data.
and also when trying to restore it says a file or program is using the file its trying to restore.
can somebody help,
regards

Hello Samee
The best way to boot the unit in DOS mode is to use external floppy drive. This drive is not expensive and if your data are so important you can invest a few euros to buy it. Using start disk you will be able to boot into DOS mode and do what you want to do.
I also recommend you to contact Norton and see if they have some simply solution how to install created image.
With mp3 player you will not be able to boot up.
