Listening to mp3 player through home ste

I'm interested in listening to the music I have on my mp3 player through my stereo in my room. I have a wireless FM transmitter that I use in my car, but it runs out of batteries pretty quick. I was wondering if there was some kind of cord/adapter I could purchase that would maybe hook into the usb port or headphone jack and connect to my stereo.
Thanks,
Kyle

If you're trying to connect your Micro to your stereo, the cheaper one of those won't work - you need a headphone jack at one end...

Connecting my MP3 Player to a Ste

I want to connect my mp3 player to my "CX-CD375 Coby Micro Stereo System" but the only jack it has is a headphone jack. So I can't connect it. Or unless there's another way. I already tried a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable but it didn't work.

I think I'm going to have to buy a new stereo. I found one that has a Y Audio input, will that work?

And another one that has a AUX Input but I don't know how I would connect it to that. It said that It'll play music from an external device.

Connecting to the headphone jack of a stereo won't work, as this is an output.
If the other stereos have line-ins, aux-ins etc. chance are they'll have 2 RCA/phone sockets, so you'll need something like this cable:

Phone calls go directly to voicemail when Im listening to mp3 player with headset.

I was under the impression that if I was listening to my media player on my Blackberry 8120 with the headset that came with it, that I would be interupted if someone called. I tested this out the other day and my call went directly to voicemail. Is there a setting that will change this? I checked everywhere I knew to check on the phone and couldnt come up with anything.
Also, not that it matters that much but my cell phone led blinks 3 different colors. Red, Green and Blue. I have no clue what the difference is, can any one help a blackberry nub?
Thanks
Jason
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What profile is your device set on?
For the second question, the device blinks red if there is an unread message or notification; green is when there is an active network connection; and blue is when a bluetooth device is connected.

How do I play and control music from my MP3 player through my

Thanks in advance

Tommyknocker,
How about just a simple minijack to minjack patch cable, from headphone out into the line-in on your soundard? The Soundcard's mixer could be used to set volume and then you still have control on the player, current song information listed in front of you, and can use the volume on the player when needed to mute / lower for different scenes in the game.

Using an iPod with another mp3 player

Hello,
My wife got a Sansa Lil Monster mp3 player for Christmas and I know it will not work with iTunes. How do I transfer music onto her player without messing up my iPod?
Thanks in advance.

If you can drag songs to your MP3 player through Windows Explorer you just need to locate the files in the iTunes Music and copy them over. This should have no effect on your iPod. You won't be able to copy songs downloaded from the iTunes music store as they will only work on iPods or Motorola iTunes enabled phones but everything else is usable.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack - NB 550D

Hi
MP3 Player will not play through Mic Jack. Is this because I have not setup Realtek Audio Manager correctly?.
Also is there any way to play the MP3 through a USB Port
Thx

Hi
What notebook do you have?
The mic jack records the audio signal. But I assume you want to use the mic jack an line-in. Right?
Usually you have to set the default device in recording tab.
In control panel -> sound -> recording tab.
If you will not see any further devices but only mic jack then you should click right and should enable the options; show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
Possibly then you could enable line in.
Otherwise such option is not available and not possible

Playing my ipod through my boombox MP3 player usb port

my boombox has a usb port and apparently the ipod can be attached to play through it. I could buy some speakers but it would be better to use the MP3 player i already have. But although the ipod plays through the earphones, it won't play or recognise my ipod tracks when attached to the boombox although for some quirky reason it did for a while play just one album. Can anyone help me? I've been going crazy reading instuctions & now feel very frustrated with it

Contact the manufacturer of the motocycle system. Many systems are not compatible with iOS devices but work fine for the simple iPods.

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.

How can I connect my Creative mp3 Player and my car ste

I need to connect my Creative mp3 Player and my car stereo (Peugeot 407 standard car stareo). It haven't cassette player or an "AUX IN" hole. Any Idea?

<FONT face=Helv size=2>
Unfortunately (for us consumers) there are few options.
) Use an FM transmitter which does not work in your area.
2) There was a post in this forum where the person had a device installed that would switch from the car antenna to an FM transmitter. So effecti'vely, the FM transmitter is spliced right into the antenna line into your car stereo. The theory is that it's either using the car antenna or your MP3 player, but never both. There are no competing FM stations. The use also said this cost them $200 .... which makes option 3 a better deal considering FM will decrease the fidelity of a MP3 player.
3) Buy a car stereo with an input jack .. as SSR as sited.
4) You can buy a cassette adapter ... if your current car stereo has a circa 20th century cassette player.
5) Start a grass roots effort to lobby car manufacturers to put in a input jack in the car stereos. The American companies might be softened after this SUV bust.
If you pick #5, I'm available to stamp and stuff envelopes ......

How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

Hi,
How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
Thank you for your help in advance,

Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help thanks,

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

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!

Connecting zen microphoto to home ste

Does anyone know of a device to connect the zen microphoto to their home stereo? I found a device to be able to play my zen in my car, but how can I connect it to my stereo? I have an okay amount of music on there, but I am hesitant about adding more if I can only listen to it when I'm on the train on my way to work or riding in the car. My friend has an ipod and she saved my bachelorrette party by hooking up her ipod to my home stereo. Because my sister forgot her music at home and I don't have much. I don't by cd's freguently by buy mp3 tracks. Please help! Does this device even exist?

It is very easy to connect your MP3 player to your stereo. Go to Radio Shack and tell them you would like to have a Y-Splitter Cable for your MP3 player, in order to hook it up to your home stereo. The person you ask will take you right to them. Just buy one for each stereo at whatever lenght you think you may need. I got mine at around six feet long.
You then hook the red and white jacks up to one of your auxiliary terminals on your stereo, and plug the other end into your headphone jack.
Just cut on your stereo and set it to the auxiliary terminal you chose, and then cut your MP3 player on. You will have to tweak the volume, as MP3 players tend to not be as loud as CD's and such. I keep my Zen Micro at around 20, and adjust the stereo volume to the level I want at the time.
