MP3 player just with Spotify for running / gym

Bring spotify to the gym or running!!!!
It would be great if there was a mp3 player like the Ipod shuffle but just for spotify. You connect the mp3 player with the computer or via Wi-fi and get your favorite playlist on the device.
All mp3 players on the market that can do that and have those features are too expensive or too big .
We NEED a spotify mp3 player ASAP. I need to work out with my spotify playlist!! :)

I've just thought of the same thing (thought I was being original! :P)! Having to carry a heavy and expensive phone around on a run made me think of a longing for a smaller and simpler device which just did music. I don't want to call or play angry birds on the go!
Would be good if there was an option for mobile connectivity (3G/4G), that way it wouldn't have to be linked to a computer to have access to playlist - and would be open to spotify free customers too. The way of this working would be to have it included on existing phone tariffs. You just pay for the device and it can be included on your plan. Would obviously need cooperation of mobile service providers.
Maybe there could be variants also, some that stream music and some which store music in the device- in keeping with the philosophy of spotify.
it would be cool to have a device that is spotify only (with branding on it etc). ..
i envisaged a circular device which had the play/pause button on the main face of the device (indented slightly so it's easy to distinguish and use) and the volume adjuster working as the bezel (like a watch chronograph adjuster) - you could be very precise with adjustment and would fit seamlessly in with the design.
I would have it in matte black so it's discreet with the spotify logo on the front main face (acting like the play/pause button).
It would be important to make sure it's simple and intuitive to use so you don't have to look at it to use it. It would also be able to be priced competitively.
BUT, the fact that an iPod shuffle can be used to sync with spotify sorta covers this issue.... Just... However, My issue with the shuffle is the fact that you have to use controls on earphones to use it that is frustrating at times (if you don't have earphones which have that capability!). Having the button on the device opens up the options to everyone.
ive even thought of a name for the thing: Spotifygo (or SpotifyGo)

Mp3 player works with snow leopard but not with lion

hallo i have a mp3 player trekstor i.beat move s 2.0 lion dose not recognise it . but sl dose. is there any thing that i can do to change this? pat10

And update alone is not recommended or enough, which - sorry for short answers - is why PC users uninstall and do all the rest, EVEN if they are just updating or testing new drivers.
Ideal is to uninstall the device for vendor A before switching and installing device vendor B, with uninstall and delete old drivers in Safe Mode. Less trouble, games etc run better, and your fps etc will reflect such.
Using 3DMark06 and Vantage are two good tests to insure all is working.

Creative mp3 player compatibility with PFS car au

I was wondering if the "Plays For Sure" compatible Creative Players will work with the PFS compatible car audio receivers from Kenwood and Alpine. I'm mostly wondering about my Zen Xtra, but I'm sure others would like to know if their players would work also. Is Creative pursuing testing this, or should I just assume that all PFS works with all other PFS?

I purchased music from iTunes, but there is one
problem, I can't play it on my Creative Zen Vision
MP3 player.
Yes, you are right.
I even burned a CD with
the music, and it won't play on my car stereo??
You must burn a CD-Audio to play it in your home/car stereo.
If you also want to play those songs on your Creative player, once you've done the CD-Audio you can rip it again in MP3.

Need help embedding a mp3 player swf with xml playlist

Im a noob to Flash (started tuesday, haha) and so far everything is coming along just fine, but i need to put music in the swf. I have a button set up that slides a swf mp3 player in from the side but i dont know how to make the playlist work with it.
The player is from this site:
http://www.bezzmedia.com/swfspot/samples/flash8/Mp3_Player_with_XML_Playlist
Using the xml playlist with html is simple enough, but im not sure how to use it with Flash Catalyst. Is there an easy way to do this?
My original plan was to have a text list of the songs with a play button next to each one, then when you click on the play button it would set the state of any other songs to Stopped so you can just pick what song to play and if another song was playing it would stop. Im not sure how to do this either (like i said, i started learning this week), so i just tried embedding someone else's (ugly) mp3 player.
Anyway, if anyone knows a relatively easy way to have a playlist in my swf please let me know. Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you've imported a SWF into Catalyst using Import Artwork on the File menu. When your app runs, you want to pass that swf a parameter that tells it what URL to read a data file from. The SWF is not one that you've created, rather, you got it from some web site.
This is not something that you can do in Catalyst. However it should be possible to do in Flash Builder. I found an article discussing several ways to do it, at http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=175951. One idea is the following code snippet
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    import flash.events.*;
    private function setVars(event):void
        event.target.content.yyyyyy = "zzzzzz";
    ]]>
</fx:Script>
<mx:Image source="xxxxx" complete="setVars(event)" />
where "xxxxx" is the path of the SWF (you can put it somewhere in your Flash Builder project, or reference it via an URL), and yyyyy is the name of the parameter that the SWF expects, and zzzzzz is the path to the data file. The <Image> tag is what Catalyst created when you imported the SWF. (btw.the Image and SWFLoader tags are almost identical).
I hope this gives you enough info to make progress.

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?

Mp3 player compatible with mac

I was looking for a non ipod that is compatible with the
mac 10.4 os.
i want the fm radio option and disposible battery option .
i want to be able to use itunes to transfer songs.
any recommended models
thanks

As iTunes is basically an iPod only affair here are some thoughts.
FM Radio is an option on the iPod by using the Apple Radio Remote.
Replacement iPod batteries are widely available (I just Googled for 'iPod Batteries').
But if you're sure...
This application allows you to sync iTunes playlists with an mp3 player that mounts as a volume on the desktop (I'm using it with my PDA Phone (with a 512Mb MMC card) - but it's a poor, poor relation to my wife's Nano with proper iTunes integration). So this application will work with any mobile Phone/PDA or mp3 player with removable media and a card reader.

Managing an iriver H300 mp3 player on a MacBook Pro running Leopard)

I have an iRiver H300 MP3 player.
I want to manage it from my MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.5.2). I am not using iTunes for this, so maybe this is the wrong place to post this (apologies if that is the case).
I have a bunch of .MP3 files I want to copy to the H300. When I plug the H300 into my MBP it shows up as a drive (formatted FAT32) and I can copy folders with MP3's to it. Also, I can delete files. So far so good.
PROBLEM: I cannot reclaim the garbage space (empty the trash) and the MP3's I drag over include a bunch of files that start with "._xxxx" that are empty. Then when I try to play the new songs they won't play because they first try to play all of the empty files.
For now, I can fix the problem because I have an old WinXP machine around that allowed me to locate and get rid of the extra files, but I would prefer not to have to use it every time I want to add or replace music on my iRiver player.
How can I see all of the files on the H300? And, manage it like any other hard drive so I can copy stuff to it and also erase stuff from it?
Thanks for any suggestions.
yours,
Bill

If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

Mp3 player connectivity with Gigaworks G500

Hello which cable do I need to connect my mp3 player to all the speakers. Thanks

Sounds like you have a bad or weak battery in your player. How are you playing your music? Are you using wins Media player or another player to play your music? Do you have the orginal Creative Zen V Plus CD Installation Driver? You might try and uninstall the drivers and reinstall them again. Just some things to think about. I am having a problem w/ my Zen V plus. Read my Post about my problems. (Help w/ Zen V +) Keep posting here for help. ODIE

My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

Spotify for non internet enable devices

Hi, my idea is basically to look for a way to make spotify available on non internet devices, like the ipod nano por example. I would like to be able to sync my playlists on my ipod or mp3 player direclty from my computer. The new apple music app doesnt do this so I think spotify needs to be a step ahead.

Updated: 2015-07-05Hi, a similar idea has been posted here:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/MP3-player-just-with-Spotify/idi-p/135212
While it's been marked 'Not Right Now', Spotify staff periodically reviews these ideas and may choose to implement it in the future. You may also be interested in reading an explanation why it is not likely to be implemented here.

Error when trying to controll mp3 player with webService

Hi
I have a system to controll some things in my house, and one of them is my soundsystem. I have a tablet that communicates with an server that do the acctual work.
I found an mp3 player online with the source-code, and I want to controll it using webservices from the client. I stript it an added it to my system. I just want to have buttons on the client, and then the server to do the actual work.
If I don't use WS, just make an object of the player, I can add music to it and play them.
If I do the exact same thing, but it's the WS that gives the commands on the server side I get an ex.
Unable to handle format: mpeglayer3, 22050.0 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian, Signed, 7000.0 frame rate, FrameSize=32768 bits

Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@12b51d4
I have tryed asking google about the format, and i found somethin about that it hade problems finding the codec. I can se the codec in my JMF Regisrty.
I can find the "com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine" in the jmf.jar thats in my lib.
I have installed jmf 2.1.1e.
Server and client are run from the same pc.
I have tryed from diferent pc, but it dident work.
Anyone?

Maby the best thing is to move it yes. Can you do it, or tell me how I can do i.I am not so sure now, that that is the best move, since it seems the web service is playing some part in the problem.
I'll leave it to your decision though. If you want it moved, surf on over to the [latest Report Abuse thread|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5422989&tstart=0] and ask the mods to move the thread to JMF. Typically that thread is for reporting abuse, but it is also good for getting threads moved, since the community moderators keep an eye on it.

ITunes - mp3 player for kids - iPod

I have iTunes for my mac and my own iPod. I want to get my kids an inexpensive mp3 player (non-apple) for Xmas. Does this work? Can I load their players with their songs from my library?

Yes, but it won't be as easy as synching with an i-device. I have a Sansa player as well as a RCA MP3 player. With both devices you can simply copy mp3 files to them. As long as the mp3s are tagged correctly you can arrange by artist, album etc amnd play that way. If you want playlists things get a bit tricky. Neither player has software that supports OSX so playlists on the Sansa either have to be created by hand or using a third party script.
If your computer can run Windows you can use the software that way, otherwise there is a moderate degree of inconvenience, especially if playlists are important.

Looking for an mp3 player for a webpage

because of apple I'm staying away from flash players for now...
I 'm lloking for a simple to use mp3 player that's customizable - for example :
read & display xml playlists
make the list of viewable songs what we choose - like 10 songs or 20 songs - without scroll bars...
I'm lookimg at:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_mp3.html
http://playlist.software.informer.com/download-playlist-embedded-website-media-player/
Any opinions are welcome

Here's what I'm doing:
HTML5.
Here is the code and it is really simple:
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="../path/filename.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="../path/filename.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element. <a href="../path/filename.mp3">Right-Click here</a> and choose Save file as… to download the .MP3 file</audio>
Works in all browsers. Works in all media players that support mpeg audio. But here's a word of warning:
Some browsers may not know that the ogg audio is there, so you may need to edit your .htacess file (on Apache) or your filetypes (on Microsoft IIS servers) to include it.
Here's the change to put into .htaccess. I don't use IIS:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
That will enable both ogg video and audio. Without these lines, Firefox may not play your file.
To make your audio files, please see this link.

MP3 Player - Is it realistic with Flex???

Hi every Flex fans and Flex experts,
After a week of fluctuation from happy to angry, I conclude
that there is not a lot of resource to build a nice-and-easy MP3
player in a Flex application. Yes and no! I mean, there is some
basic solutions, such as the idea from Viper Creation (
http://www.vipercreations.com/tutorials/Adobe%20Flex/29.html).
But when you look at all those SWF available from Flashkit.com or
whatever the web site is - in case of independant flash developer -
it seems that there is a lack concerning parameters when it is time
to use the SWF at the full advantage. What I mean by that is most
of those super Flashy MP3 Player - working with a playlist in XML -
are passing a lot of parameters to setup the style of the player.
In Flex, we can use the component SWFLoader and indicate the Source
but when you try to play to much with the parameters (everything
after the "?" and split with "&"), the system does not like it
and you cannot compile!
I been looking and looking since there is not a lot of
documentation at this time to try to find a way to play with
parameters but without a lot of succes.
If anybody have hint to help me, please do not hesitate.
Thank youm

Any music and videos purchased on iTunes will not work on any other player other than iPods and iPhones as well as your computer. Sony MP3 players will not play music and videos purchased in iTunes because of the digital rights management included in every purchase.
You can burn the music to disc. Have a great day.
