Notes, grumblings and Questions on MP3-players in gene

. A failing of (as far as I know)
any MP3 recorder (if an MP3 player can record MP3s, I call it an MP3 recorder)
are all those missing editing options available on MiniDisk: divide, combine, name and move tracks.
Since fragmenting is of hardly any importance on flash-memory, I really don't see why they don't offer it. Unless someone knows one that does?
2.Q: How good is the quality of this "direct MP3 encoding" compared to software encoders like LAME?
I suppose it's lower ('cause of the far lower computing power and 'cause energy consumption is a FAR greater issue than on home PCs)
but just how much lower is it's
Asked differently: At what bitrate do you have to "direct encode" to achieve approx. the same quality as 80kbs CBR via LAME?
3. "OLEDs are fascinating and are rapidly evolving, but have currently (July 2005) only a life span of 0000-5000 hours or 2-5 years".
(Translated) statement from reichelt-elektronik. So, don't buy an OLED-device yet if you want something really long-lasting.
4.Equalizer: Even on a HiFi stereo system, I'd consider it more of a gimmick (unless one doesn't have a PC - then it can be useful).
If I want a song to have a stronger bass or whatever (which I never did, so far),
then I'd use an audio editing software so the song always sounds the way I prefer it, independently from the playback device.
On a portable player, this function is just a nuisance, since I have to pay attention that it is 'not acti've' or 'normal'.
In addition, often a button is wasted/reserved for this function that could be put to better use.
[So, plea for opensource firmware here that'll let me reprogram such a button. Or alternati'vely, several different firmwares by Creative that cater to different types of customers (like me).].
Far more use than an equalizer, though propably more difficult to implement, would be a
5. Volume Compressor: (A function that narrows the volume range of a song, for example from 2dB-60dB to 55dB-60dB.)
Of course, your average pop song is already heavily compressed,
but if you're listening to some opera or other classical music, it would be great if one could increase compression when there is (a lot of) ambient noise,
so one can still hear quiet passages without going deaf on the loud ones.
Q:I've read that some players have a 'Smart Volume' function. Is that a compressor?
6. Who thinks that Artist-Album-Title is a great sequence for an MP3-player?
Maybe I'm a weird guy, but I've never thought "Now, I wanna hear Madonna." or "Now, I wanna hear ABBA."
Instead, I think like "Now, I wanna hear 'Goodnight moon' " (from whoever) or "Now, 'Music' "(from Madonna) or "Now, 'The winner takes it all' " (from ABBA).
So, to me, the title is by far the Nr. criterion. What do I care who's singing it's And though with pop songs, one often can't help knowing, I've got lots of folklore, oldies and more extraordinary stuff where the Artist(s) and Albums are "Unknown" to me.
What if you want to play a particular song? You don't just have to know who the Artist is and in what Album, but also what track number the song has, because on average, your player won't be able to display more than 'Artist' and part of the 'Album' name, unless each one is on a separate line, which usually isn't the case. (I know it's scrolling, but that takes time, and the longer the names, the more. Prelistening is usually faster).
So, even to those who know 'Artist' and 'Album', the display isn't of much use since there can be dozens of songs in a particular album.
[Again, plea for opensource firmware that'll let me change the display sequence, or many different firmware versions by Creative .].
Of course, I can still have my sequence by saving the track title in the 'Artist' column, but, well... I'm not very fond of the idea!

.) Well, most mp3 players are not dedicated recorders like MiniDiscs were intended to be, namely why they don't commonly come with this functionality.
2.) Guess it depends on the chipset used for the direct encoding I would imagine. I would think it differs from model to model.
3.) Most people won't keep an mp3 player for that long in my opinion. I have had 4 mp3 players in the span of about 3 years. Not to say they've all broken (only one has in fact), but I am a fan of new technology. As are most people. I would think the majority of people have no real care for this figure.
4.) Most people do use an equaliser. It's not a gimmick. It can instantly give a boost to a song when/if it is necessary. I don't personally use one, but it gives people the simplicity of using their player to implement certain presets without having to have any other technical know-how. Most players could do with some kind of memory system, where it remembers what EQ setting you used for a specific track, but it's not 00% necessary.
Also, I've never had a player with a dedicated EQ hardware button. Not that I've wanted one. There are players with configurable buttons though. I am pretty sure iRi'ver players and Cowan's iAudio range have players with at least one configurable button.
5.) No player I know has what you request. Smart Volume also generally is an overall way of making a track seem a different volume, it doesn't analyse separate parts. You could probably achieve what you wanted by running your mp3's through something like mp3gain.
6.) My Creative Zen Sleek let you view by :
Album > Track
Artist > Album > Track
Artist > All Tracks
Genre > Artist > Album > Track
I can even go into "All Tracks" and use the find feature to grab a specific track if I need to. Isn't this more than enough to accomodate the average person?

Latest MediaSource Plugins for various Creative MP3 Players are now available for downl

Just went to the product support site. Guess what? The latest MediaSource plugins for the various Creative MP3 Players are now available for download. I am sure the latest plugins should have fixed several problems.
Don't forget to download the latest Creative MediaSource v3.30.2 too. Install the latest Creative MediaSource first before you install the MediaSource Plugins of your respecti've MP3 Players.
Note: According to the download site, the latest MediaSource plugins require you to have at least v3.20.57 of Creative MediaSource.

Thanks micromouse
... but there's no new plugin for the original Jukebox
I've always had trouble connecting to MediaSource with my JB and was hoping for a new plugin to sort all my problems.

Creative MP3 Players and Car Au

Hello,
I'm a newbie and I don't know a lot about MP3 players so I hope you can help me out. I have a brand new Kenwood car audio with an USB cable to plug your MP3 player in. My friend's Samsung MP3 player doesn't work, after some research I find out that the MP3 player has to be an MTP one to work with the car audio. Now my question is: are all Creative MP3 players MTP maschines and do I have to make a software update or what ever to "make them be" a MTP player?
Thanks a lot for any support!

Are you sure about this? Which Kenwood is it exactly? The info I've seen on the Kenwoods say that the USB device must be MSC (not MTP).
Perhaps your friend's Samsung is MTP, and that's why it didn't work.

Creative Mp3 Players MTP Problem Solution

Hi,because of the firmware and windows problems,if you have a mp3 player with a firmware that doesn't support MTP problem,sometimes even if you reformat your computer,you can get "player not connected" error. To solve this you must install MTP supporting firmware on your mp3 player,but if you don't want to upgrade your firmware (because of being afraid of stucking in the recovery mode,some other reasons)there is some other solutions to solve this problem.
Editing registry keys,and some other patches did nothing to solve my problem.So I deleted all Creative Drivers and programs from Add/Remove Programs,and I deleted Windows Media Player 0 and installed Windows Media Player 9,than I installed everything from my mp3 player's cd (media source,nomad explorer,device drivers,etc.) and I downloaded and installed new device driver (version 2...) from creative web site. I restarted my computer,and my problem is completely solved. Try it...

dvd ripper for mac

Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help

Using other MP3 players with ITunes

Can anyone give me some guidance? My little girl wants an ipod after having great fun listening to my ipod shuffle. All my music is now stored on iTunes so the question is; does itunes support any other MP3 players or will it only support ipods - I was going to buy her a cheap £15 player.
Any help would be gratefully recieved.

JoJo70,
To elaborate slightly on what polydorus said, cheap mp3 players play mp3 format files only, full stop. The one I have used (in the same price range you are talking about) connects to the PC via USB, and opens in Windows as a folder. You can then copy/paste files into it, or delete files that are already in it. It truly does not care if iTunes is present or not.
To your comment that "All my music is now stored on iTunes": not really. Your music is stored on your hard drive, and iTunes only contains a library that points to it. There is no reason you can't use the same song files for some non-iTunes purpose, and that is what you will be doing with your daughter's player.
Sooner or later however, she will want an iPod.

Questions about all your MP3 players, because I want to buy a Sandisk but which

Hello, I am French so sorry for my English, and I did not know where to post my message. I hope it is the best place corresponding to it on the forum.
My Sansa Clip+ is out of warranty, and I begin to have a bad contact with the output jack. I think I'll replace my player soon and I want a Sandisk MP3 player. I was wondering : 1) What is the difference between Sansa Clip and Sansa Clip+ ? The ability to insert the SD card ?
2) Why Sansa Clip+ 4GB is more expensive than Sansa Clip+ 8GB ? O.o .
3) I saw today that I can install software like Rockbox on my MP3 player. If I install Rockbox, I keep the warranty ?
4) Why buy a Sansa Clip Jam rather than a Sansa Clip+, or Sansa clip sport ? Or, what is the difference between all your MP3 players (Sansa clip, Sansa clip+, Sansa Jam, Sansa clip sport, Sansa Fuze, Sansa clip zip) ? It is important because I have to make a choice

1) SD card and lock switch instead of button for screen lock.2) Prices are fairly random since the players haven't been made in years now.3) Probably not, but assuming you uninstall I doubt it matters.4) The Jam/Sport are kind of terrible in general, although battery life is better, at least without rockbox on the older players.

Older creative zen mp3 players suddenly not recognized by Wiindows Vista

Hello
I have three older Creative Zen mp3 players, a Vision M, a Sleek Photo and an Xtra. The computer has Windows Vista Basic. All thre players were working perfectly three or four weeks ago.. As of a few days ago. the computer is no longer recognizing? all three players. I tried system restore but but system restore is not working. Do I post this problem here or would the Microsoft support forums be a better place to go to for help for this? Thank you for any advice.
Bridget Ferazzano

Hello
I am using Creative MesiaSource Player to manage them, I did the clean up/rebook on the players, I don't know what
was installed recently from Windows Update. I tried doing a system restore, I have Windows Vista Basci, but I need to restore it to three or four weeks ago and system restore soes not go back that far. I have also done the sfc /scannow and the message I received was Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files ibut was unable to fix them. Is there anything else I can do to fix this problem? Thanks

Was gonna by myself 160gb ipod for christmas...not gonna now...backing up music today... what mp3 players out there are good besides apple and where should i store my music now?

was gonna by myself 160gb ipod for christmas...not gonna now...backing up music today... what mp3 players out there are good besides apple and where should i store my music now?

Content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that ID.
There is no reason to create a new Apple ID, frankly that will just create more issues.
It is possible to load content from multiple Apple ID's onto a single device. If the content is in the computer that the device syncs with, simply select the content and sync it.

Is the new earpods support bass in other mp3 players?

Is the new earpods support bass in other mp3 players?

The new earpods should support extended bass noise with other devices as it is not a software eq but the actual physical response of the speaker inside the earpod.
Hope it helps

Will any Zen MP3 Players run on Windows

I've looked at the system requirements for some of the Zen MP3 players, and they all require Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, or XP. The OS I am currently running is Windows 98. I was just wondering, since there aren't too many differences between 98 and 98 SE, would a Zen MP3 player run on Windows 98?

There's definitely differences between W98 and W98SE. From what I know W98 does not provided much USB support and thus W98SE was released to provide the desire USB support. Although you can still use USB in W98, lots of problem may occur there. The explaination goes the same for Windows NT too. So that's probably why W98SE was quoted as the minimum OS require.

Flash MP3 players...

Flash mp3 players are becoming more and more popular on the
web. Anyone know
of a hub for these things? I mean a site that lists the most
popular ones,
their individual features, etc.
I'm looking for a free one that will simply play an mp3 on a
server with the
usual controls. Bonus points if it can mask the source mp3
file location.
PS: With css/ajax being as advanced as it's become, has
anyone come up with
a non-flash MP3 player that does the same thing? I wouldn't
be surprised if
someone did..!

Mashable is designed for myspace users & appears to use
code located on
their site. If that doesn't suit your needs, here a few
others - some free,
some not.

STOP Smashing your mp3 players peopl

LISTEN UP !
DO NOT and mean DO NOT smash the thing on the table
that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard and
i have registered simply to display my disgust in you people
advising others to do this.. its insane and you ALL know it !
yeah I too have the same problems everyone else is reporting
(on my Zen Microphoto 8gb)
PLease people read the knowledge base article suggesting
that you change permissions in the registry AND also make
sure you don't have any other issues like services in xp disabled
such as SSDP and uni'versal plug and play device host
the bottom line here is i was shut out and completly unable to use my player
and had troubles charging and almost a 00% failure at getting it detected in xp
and I NOW HAVE IT FIXED by listening to creative !!!!!
i have been using my player everyday for a week straight with only minor
detection in xp issues and i believe MICROSOFT is to blame somehow
as in a possible update or software conflict of some sort etc
PLEASE people trust me stop smashing your mp3 players !
(and exhaust ALL other options such as creative's support web-page wizard thingy)

we had major problems too with 2 creative zen v plus but tech support was fast in reply. I did everything they said to do and while the first thing did not stop the freezing...the third thing they said to do has solved it. Both players are used every day for audio books and work well. I know most people who find their way here find it because they have trouble with their players but I am now very happy with creative!
