Mega stick FM recording

Hi everyone!,
Yesterday I´ve bought a Mega Stick 1 (firmware 2.04).
What i like most from mega stick 1 was the posibility
to record FM radio stations.
Radio reception its not as good as I spected , of course,
now its digital sound pretty much high quality than my
old radio (sony). I strech the earphone wire and had
better reception (as the FAQ suggest).
I recorded about 40 minutes of music with 44.1 mhz
quality . When I wanted to listen what it had recorded
I found that the sound sounded dirty, like dirty one or
lined CD of music. It was not cause bad reception, its
something wrong on Mega Stick record algorithm.
Thast anyone has a clue of what wen wrong?
Help please.
Thanks in advance,
Alex.

Yeah... it's doesn't record at that rate; even if you set it to...
I also though it would record the radio at the same quality you are listening it if you set a rate high enough... but it didn't; don't know why.

Firmware 2.02 - 2.04 mega stick

Hi,
Is it true that after upgrading the firm 2.02 to 2.04 the record rate is reduced to 22 Khz maximum instead of 48Khz ?
This is what is stated at the firmware upgrade page from MSI Mega Stick 1 ver. 2 at :
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_detail.php?UID=485
If so it would be a major loss of quality for those who regularly use their stick as a recording device for meetings and so on
Regards
Nick

Thanks for testing
I really don't have a clue why MSI reduced the rate to 22Khz , it certainly doesn't tribute to its popularity.
Why affraid of the RIAA ? , back in the 70ties millions of people started recording FM broadcastings (songs) on hughe taperecording devices , in the 80ties billions had a tapedeck , the nineties brought us the MP3 and CD burner .. why choking the bitrate on a MSI stick when there are trillions of people out in the world recording everything that can be recorded on every recordable device available... it's a sign of false purity ... or being chicken.
I doubt anyone will use the FM recording capabilities of the MSI stick to become a millionaire by recording and processing illegal music (think about the quality it will result in .. even at 48Khz... even a deaf person wouldn't pay a buck to buy this kind of material.. lol) , considering other regions on the internet that provide digital files that can be used anywichway you want.
So MSI .. stop fooling around , the professional copyright pirates won't use the MP3 stick , give us normal and legal users a firmware that makes the most out of the stick , functional and usable
cheers,
Nick

Mega Stick 1 dictating machine noise

When writing a sound from the built-in microphone observed sufficiently loud stranger rhythmical noise. I tried to change RECORD RATE - no effect, changing the frequency to 48000Hz noise in the addition becomes whistling. Connection of external microphone also does not solve a problem. Can owners of this unit tell their impressions - beside them dictating machine works also or not?

Here are several examples of dictating machine record with noise (Mega Stick 1 MS-5511, firmware version 2.xx):
record of absolute silence, 22500Hz:
http://neversf.narod.ru/V011.wav
record of human speech, 8000Hz:
http://neversf.narod.ru/samp001.wav
record of mobile phone ring, 22500Hz:
http://neversf.narod.ru/V010.WAV
P.S. try to increase volume during playback

Mega Stick 256MB (USB 1.1)

I bought the Mega Stick but I don't have the CDRom. Do I need it when I use Windows XP as operating system? My system recognises the Mega Stick when I put it in my USB, but I don't see it on my screen or something. When I copy files from a CD to the player I can't find them and I can't see the player writing.
Please help

If u plug in the stick (and switch it on) it will present itself as a driveletter e.g. E: Just copy the MP3 or WMA files to that drive.

Mega Stick 128

Hi!
Last week i bought Mega stick128 MP3 and now I have a few problems with the connection to usb of my computer.
I have Windows XP Professional service Pack 1 with driver USB 2.0 but when I put the stick in the USB and I try to explore my folder all system stop and I to turn off the pen from usb port. I try also with my notebook with Windows2000 and I have not any problem, all is fantastic.
So I decide to install the driver for windows XP from your internet site, but nothing is change. The firmware of the stick is the last one 2.5 European.
Can you help me, I need a special patch or there is a no compatibility between the stick and windows XP professional.
I don’t think that is a problem of the stick because with windows 2000 I haven’t problem, but I don’t think also that is a problem of USB port of my computer because I use another flash stick without a problem.
Last information ,when the stick stop the message on the display in reading!
Please Help me
Thank you.

look, when you make these replies saying "nothing changed" will not help. what did you do, step by step, and what happened when you tried it? so you went to a comp in which the mega stick didn't hang windows. you right click formatted the mega stick "x" drive using fat or fat 16 (i used fat) and not fat 32. did you uncheck the quick format, or did you leave it checked? please explain yourself. how do i know if you understood what i was asking or if i even explained it well enough? either one has to be the case as you are the only one in which this technique has not worked for.

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 USB2 problem

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 (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:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=98194.0
Hope it works for you.

Mega Stick 528 don´t turn on.

I have a Mega Stick 528 out of guarantee :( , and it has the this problem, it doesn´t turn on, unless I flash it, when I put the player another firmware, newer or older it works, but when I´m going to turn it on the second time, it doesn´t turno on, it´s so strange, it just works 2 times after I flash it. I´m from Argentina, and in my city there is no service, or a computer shop where I can fix it, and obviously is a soft problem, or that´s what I think.
Some idea!!!!????

i have the same problem, it doesn't turn on at all.
i changed the batteries but no good.
the screen only turns on when i connect it to my pc, the pc recognize it is attached, but displays no mass storage drives.
the icon only appears for a second and then disappears and cannot be accessed.
the screen on the mega stick turnes on while it is connected to the computer, and stating "connected".
but it doesn't turn on, and i can't access the information stored on it.
i have no idea what you meant by flashing it, or i would try that myself just to rescue my recordings...

Problem with Mega Stick 1 Menus

I am facing a strange problem with Mega Stick 1.
I press the 'Jog Dial' menu button to access the menus. I do see all the sub menus but when I press the jog Dial again to go into the sub menu my Mega Stick takes me back to the mail menu. So basically I cannot go into any sub menu.
I upgraded the firmware of Mega Stick and the sub menus worked only once after the upgradation and after that the sub menues stopped working again.
Anyone has any clue what is wrong and how can I fix it???/

Come on guys please help me ... I am in trouble
