All,
The problem has been "sorted" for me. After speaking with the very helpful Alick in MSI support, he pointed me to the right firmware for my MS5511 1GB Megastick:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_detail.php?UID=607
It's the one called "MEGA STICK 511 Firmware" not "MEGA STICK 511 USB2.0 without FM Firmware" (what a horrible website!) and it's version 002.001.009.
Still the annoying 'This device can perform faster' message - but it's connected as USB2.0 full-speed and not USB1.0 slow-speed, meaning you can fill up the 1GB in about 20 minutes, as opposed to several hours.
I compared Alick's results using HD Tach (http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public/index.php?request=HdTach), and got the following results:
1. A USB1.1 device will read at around 0.8 MByte/s
2. My MS5511 device will read at around 0.9 MByte/s (USB2.0 full-speed's theoretical max is around 1.5MByte/s)
3. A USB2.0 high-speed memory-stick will read at around 9.0 MByte/s (USB2.0 high-speed's theoretical max is around 60 MByte/s
4. My (slow) hard disk will read at around 30 Mbyte/s
5. A really good hard disk on a fast PC will read at around 130 MByte/s
The real problem I have is that MSI are marketing their USB2.0 device as if it's a decent speed, whereas it's only slightly faster than USB1.1. It takes me 23 minutes to fill it up, which is way too long.
Anyone else finding their Megastick any faster?
After upgrading my firmware to 3.000.006 I have got the same problem I get the 'This device can perform faster' message' but this was not the case before the firmware upgrade when I had 2.0. Also with the old firmware I did almost filled my stick and I didn't timed it but I think it could take about 10 minutes.
I have the MSI MEGA Stick 511 - Lite, 256M and it has no FM radio. Should I then not use the firmware listed as wothout FM?

  • Mega Stick 511 problem

    I've just bought a Mega Stick 511 and right now it's making me want to do this  . I'm running Windows Xp (although the manual seems to be for 98se users) and everytime I go to the device manager to look for the driver Player Recovery Device Class, it's not there although this- MSI MS-5511 USB Device- is listed under disk drives. I've downloaded the updated firmware and drivers from the MSI website and I'm following each step but this just keeps throwing me for a loop. I don't think it's a connection problem because the LCD screen on the player shows that it's connected. So if anyone out there has any clue how to fix this and then proceed to tell me how to actually load MP3 files onto it (because even that I'm sure I will stuff up), please please help me.

  • MEGA stick 511 (512mb)

    Hi, my problem is that, i don't know or it just imposible, i can't get to divide my mp3 into differents folders, i create de folder but when navigate through the mp3 there are all mixted up  , is there a way to get them separate in folders?  
    THX

    For MEGA stick 511 (all capacity versions) you can divide your mp3s to as many folders as you want but when you navigate through them from the MEGA Stick menu they will be all together but they are in the order that you put the folders. first the mp3s from the first folder, second the mp3s from the second folder etc.. the problem is that the mp3s are all in a row so if you want to go to the mp3s of the second folder you must one by one go to the first fong of the second folder.
    Sory for my english! i am terrible!!! please anyone who understands what i am writting repost it in real english!

  • Mega stick 511 (without fm) cannot connect

    My Mega Stick 511 (Without FM) was not found by my system.  I couldn't found "Removable Disk(H:)" in "My Computer" after I connected Mega Stick to my USB port.  However, "CONNECTED" text was shown on Mega Stick LCD although there was nothing shown on "Safely Remove Hardware".
    Musics already saved played well.  I could listen to musics that I copied to Mega Stick last 2 week ago.  All other functions are ok.  But, I cannot copy new mp3 because there is no "Removable Disk(H:)" appear in "My Computer"
    Please Help me.

    Yes, I have tried all USB port, nothing work.  I don't think this is not some USB port problems of the computer because other devices are still running functionally on these ports.  I have tried this mp3 player on 2 computers.  One is on my PC and one is on Laptop.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • MSI Mega Stick 511 Lite (without FM) 128MB won't skip songs

    I just bought a MSI Mega Stick 511 Lite (without FM) 128MB. I am unable to skip to the next song when playing. I can fast forward the song but it won't let me skip to the next song. Does anyone have a similar experience or know the solution ?

    I think it might be that i held the menu button too long. A quick flick to the left or right (letting go quickly) seems to make it work. P.S. The firmware upgrade to version 3 is good coz there is now a playlist option.

  • Mega Stick 511 (1GB) - Large files are deleted!

    Hi there!
    My problem is that when trying to store large files in my Mega Stick, they magically dissapear!
    For example:  I copy a large '.avi' file (let's say 700Mb).  Then, while travelling I listen to some music.  Finally, when I plug the Mega Stick to the computer, the '.avi' file no longer exists in it!!!
    Any help will be apreciated...
    Thanks

    I solved it. By upgrading driver and firmware, but in a correct way, which is described in many topics and a bit here:

    Hope it works for you. 

  • Mega stick 528 firmware problem

    i have updated my 528 to .16 f/w, and now only recognizes 290 songs. I´ve tried returning to the .13 f/w but i can´t. i´ve tried with the old driver 1.548 but the same.
    Anybody knows what to do???

    Hi,
    Does anyone know at what bit depth the above, product records at?
    It's not in the specs or the manual. I haven't bought one (yet) but I downloaded the manual.
    Also, has anyone recorded anything with one of these though the internal or an external mic? Does it sound ok?
    thanks,

  • Mega Stick 1 128mb - Problem :(

    Hi all!
    I'm italian, so i'm sorry for my bad english.
    Here's my problem:
    When i switch on my player, it read the title of the first song he found, then if i click any button, it do nothing!
    it only understand when i block the use of the buttons, displaying the icon of "LOCKED".
    I'm new of those things, i formatted it using windows xp, and also with the utility i found on the cdrom. Also how described on the manual, but still having this problem..
    Please tell me how to do things in particular, because i'm new of this things.
    Thanks a lot.
    hi

    It give to me some error at the beginning, but not fatals error, it work the same on my hard disks. But in the list i cannot find my mp3, just my 2 hard disks.
    I'm using win Xp home edition () and i connected my stick like the usually, not like the ReadMe said, pressing the play button for 5 seconds.
    How must i connect it? Maybe the problems i got is for the Os i have. What do you used? (OS)
    That program says to me that partition table is not accessible..   is it normal?
    bye..

    hi, i was browsing msi page and found that my player (that i had for months) had a new firmware (v3.xxx), i checked that my player was the correct one, USB2.0 & With FM, checked flashing the older firmware 2.0.xxxx and it worked perfectly just to make sure everything worked. then, i flashed the new files version 3.xxxx and now the player is dead.
    i went to my work like crazy were we SELL this players and tried updating a new one and it become dead. and now im furious. i wanna now how do i recover the 2 players!
    the worst thing is that if the clients flash their drives too, their players will become dead!
    i need a solution for me speccialy.
    its sad indeed.
    help! snif...
    byee
    EDIT:
    well, that link resolved my problem! thankyou very much!
    msi should be aware that the process of upgrading firmware is NOT USER FRIENDLY... and this is certainly a bad move, but oh welll, i love the player!.

  • Circuit diagram for Mega Stick 511

    Currently I supply power from an external alkaline AA cell. I made an adaptor for it, and it works OK.
    And now I want to build a two rechargable cells adaptor, (1.2V x 2 = 2.4V) for a long play time.
    But I need the diagram to understand how the inside switching power works, because at the start point it consumes a lot of current (>100mA !) and after only a fraction (~30mA). If I connect anything in series to regulate to 1.5V, it don't turn on.
    Thanks,
    Victor

     The batteries simply need to connected in a parallel circuit, - to -, + to +, you can use any size and any number of 1.5V cells your heart desires in that configuration. This way the voltage remains at 1.5 and it increases the amp/hour of the batteries.
    Edit: If you try using series batt. circuit, - to + you would need to build a solid state voltage regulator to drop it to 1.5V. Simply trying to do it with resistors won't work as initial no load voltage is the same as however many batts. are in the series (3V, 4.5V, 6V etc) Easy enough to do if parts are available and you are skilled enough to do so but not needed if you do as described above.
