New flash mp3 player using AA or AAA batte

How about it Creative? I don't like the idea of connecting the player to the pc or to a wall charger to charge it. I like the idea of being able to easily change to a new battery when the one in the player runs out of power. It would also be nice to have both AM and FM radio in the player, to have a better microphone than in the Nano Plus, and to have the ability to record in mp3 with a user selectable bit rate.

I was going to buy a Zen Stone until I found out that it doesn't have an AA or AAA battery. I prefer not to buy .mp3 players that don't have user replaceable batteries.
An AA .mp3 player would be great- slightly thicker, but <i>much</i> longer battery life.
There's a point in miniaturization that goes too far into 'style' and away from simple ergonomics.
Human eyes aren't getting more powerful and fingers aren't getting smaller, so many new devices have become too tiny to use easily.

  • Flash MP3 player with AM and FM rad

    Why is it that the only MP3 players I see with AM and FM are CD based? Some people have a great desire to listen to AM radio for sporting events, news, or talk radio. It is so annoying for me to have to carry a separate radio with my n200 so that I can have my music as well as AM radio. The funny thing is that I listen to AM radio much more than FM. I usually like to either listen to my music or to AM radio. I also have an MP3 cd player with AM and FM, however that is even larger than both the n200 plus a small separate radio. Since I don't want to constantly swap the earphones from the n200 to the radio and back, I am also carrying two sets of earphones.
    My ideal flash mp3 player would be
    ) At least 4 gigs
    2) have both AM and FM radio
    3) Run on a AA battery.
    AA batteries hold 2.5 times the power of a AAA yet are often lower in price.
    4) have a decent sized display.
    5) Have a separate button that with one press switches from mp3 music to the radio or back.
    6) Supports subscription music
    7) has a built in clock with the time constantly displayed, even when the player is off.
    While such a player would be slightly larger than the Nano Plus, it would be so much more functional.. There are still some who want the smallest possible player so I wouldn't want to see such a player replace the Nano Plus, however it would be nice if such a player would replace the TX FM which is too similar to the Nano Plus(who really cares whether the USB plug is on the player itself?).

    I think the reason you don't see AM radios in 00% digital products (such as MP3 players) is not enough demand to tackle two significant technical issues:
    The ferrite-coil antennas used by most portable AM radios take up a lot of room on circuit boards; some MP3 players are too small for them, while others simply can't give up valuable circuit-board real estate for a feature used by so few people. OTOH, most portable FM radios use the headphone cord as an antenna, so they can be smaller.</LI>
    AM frequencies and channel spacing vary around the world in ways that make a "one size fits all" digital solution very hard to implement. The US AM band runs from 535-705 kHz with 0-kHz spacing (540, 550, ... , 700); in other parts of the world it still runs from 535-605 kHz, and/or uses 9-kHz spacing which is incompatible. OTOH, nearly all major countries, except Japan, have adopted FM bands in the 87.5 (88 in the US) to 08 MHz range, and all spacing schemes are multiples of the narrowest one, 50 kHz (it's 00 kHz in most countries, 200 kHz in the US), so a digital FM tuner covering 87.5-08 MHz with 50-kHz spacing will work everywhere but Japan.</LI>
    Also, digital-radio considerations in the US may inhibit the sale of new AM radios here. The US digital-radio standard is an IBOC (in-band, on-channel) system, where the analog and digital broadcasts share the same frequency and signal. Though this is supposed to allow simultaneous analog and digital broadcasts as long as broadcasters want them (unlike DAB systems in other countries and digital TV even in the US, where the digital signal is separate and broadcasters must eventually give up their analog spectrum), even IBOC broadcasters will eventually go all-digital. Since the bandwidth of digital AM is so limited (at present it only promises "FM quality" while digital FM promises "CD quality") and digital limits analog sound quality (especially on AM where it's poor to begin with), it's likely AM will want to go 00% digital long before FM does. Limiting analog AM radios now makes it easier for AM to make that painful transition.

  • Flash Mp3 Player with 15 sec preview

    Hello,
    I in desperate need of some guidance. I am trying to make
    flash mp3 player that radomly plays mp3's from a specific folder
    for only 30 secs.
    Any idea's ??
    thanks

    if you just want to check the time when your app starts, use:
    function playSong(mySong:Number):void{
    var myTitle = my_songs[mySong].@TITLE;
    var myArtist = my_songs[mySong].@ARTIST;
    var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
    title_txt.text = myTitle;
    artist_txt.text = myArtist;
    if (my_channel){
    my_channel.stop();
    my_sound = new Sound();
    my_sound.load(new URLRequest(myURL));
    my_channel = my_sound.play();
    my_channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onNext);
        var myTime = new Date();
        var myHour:Number = myTime.getHours();
      var st:SoundTransform=my_channel.soundTransform;
       if ((myhour>=10)&&(myhour<=(22)){

    the code i have is this:

    You should paste the object code in a HTML Snippet.
    All your songs and playlist should be in the MusicPlayerExample folder.
    And then test that all performs as it should.
    If you do that you have no problems.
    But you pasted the code in the HTML page itself after publishing. If you do you have to check the path to all the files.
    You would have found that there is no file here :
    http://web.me.com/cbarrywdw03/KlausBadelt/Credits_Blog/Entries/2010/4/swfobject. js
    Rule of thumb : Keep custom stuff out of the Site folder iWeb creates.
    I pasted your code in a HTML Snippet and 3 demo MP3s played in the flashplayer. So no problem there.

  • Embedding a flash mp3 player?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to embed a flash mp3 player in my iweb site. I don't want people to be able to download the files, just listen to them, so Flash seems to be the way to go.
    Can anyone recommend a resource for learning how to do this? I've found the Flash player that I want to use, I know how to insert the HTML snippet in iweb and have the code. But all the instructions I read reference SWF files, XML files, etc and I don't know what any of that is. I just want a juke box style flash player on a couple of my pages.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

    If you want to play the songs and sell them you can use Snocap - otherwise you can use Esnips...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    You upload your song files to their site and all you do is copy and paste the HTML in to a snippet box.

  • Looking for a non-Flash mp3 player

    Can anyone recommend a non-flash mp3 player?  I've looked around on the web quite a bit but it seems the ones I'm finding all use flash.  I need one that will work on the iPad and iPhone for my websites.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
    Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
    <audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
      <source src="elvis.mp3" />
      <source src="elvis.ogg" />
      <!-- now include flash fall back -->
    </audio>

  • I have an ipod and Itunes account, how do I add my daughters new Sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    I have and ipod and itunes account, how do I add my daughter's new sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • Setting up Simple Flash mp3 Player

    I have a page with some links to mp3 songs.
    I would like to set things up so that when user clicks a mp3 link, a small flash mp3 player (embedded in the page) starts playing with that songs. The user could click on another song that would replace the last one at any time and have basic controls.
    - flash mp3 player - need 1 that has start / stop and volume buttons (simple)
    BTW: I set this type of thing up in the past with a frameset - top had quicktime player embedded - and bottom song links went to top frame - all was fine but kind of bulky.... looking for something a bit slicker...
    Also would like to do the same for flash / quicktime videos
    Also if there's something free or close to free that is a jukebox type where the song list is part of flash - that might be fun too....
    Thanks in advance - dave

  • Cannot unmount mp3 player using thunar

    Hi,
    When I try to unmount my mp3 player using thunar, it doesn't unmount it (No problems with normal usb memories). When I fuser on it, after I tried unmount it, there seems to be like 10 processes using it. When I force quit them with
    fuser -m /dev/sdc --kill
    I return to terminal (jumping from X) and see a page full of errors. I can return to X with ctrl+alt+f7. My mp3 player is this: "Philips GoGear SA2RGA02SN RaGa 2GB"
    I am using xfce4, with all group + xfce4-utils installed. I don't use login manager, my xinitrc and .bash_profile is as follows:
    .bash_profile wrote:
    [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
    startx
    .xinitrc wrote:if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
      for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
        [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
      done
      unset f
    fi
    exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch xfce4-session
    So, I was wondering what is the problem, and is there a way to make is work normally.

  • Creative's flash MP3 player strat

    I don't understand Creative's strategy in the flash MP3 player market. The n200, v200, Muvo Mix and Muvo tx fm seem too similar. I like the idea of leaving out the radio, line in and mic on some models to lower the cost, however leaving off the display is imo a great mistake(I could do without the backlight though). How about more di'versity in the flash player offerings? How about a slightly larger player that takes a AA battery and has both an AM and FM tuner? How about a flash memory based player with 2 gigs of storage(Have the 28 meg players all been phased out? Perhaps soon the 256 meg players should be phased out?)

    From a business perspecti've Creative have to tally all of these bugs against resource and impact. If the bug is small, unlikely to be found and/or doesn't affect many users, chances are they won't fix it. It may irritate the hell out of a small group of users, but that's business unfortunately, particularly in large companies.

  • Telling my flash mp3 player to get its song list from an xml file

    Hello,
    What do I need to put in my code to tell my mp3 player to grab its songs from a folder on my server via an xml doc I outputted from my sql server? (the mp3 player is also on the server).

    Search Google for a tutorial using terms like "AS3 XML tutorial".  ANy one of them should show you the code you need to parse the xml data into variables you can use in your code for your mp3 URLRequest value.

  • Flash MP3 Player shows update in other browser but NOT Safari

    Hi
    I am working with a Dreamweaver Document with Flash component inserted into the layout. One of the Flash Components is a MP3 player. The player is configured using javascript and refers to a file named "config.html"
    This file contains the actual mp3 information (name, title, location on server,etc).
    When this info is updated, the new songs "been here.mp3, etc." appear to be updated in other browsers but NOT Safari. Safari continues to read the original "config.html" instead of reading the new update version of "config.html.
    How can this happen, is there a phantom version of the original "config.html" that I do not see? How can I get it to load the new songs instead of the old ones? Is the problem within my Prefences?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Flash MP3 Player with Timer

    Heres the thing:
    I have developped  a mp3 player with a tutorial, and now I need it to  mute when it comes a certain time like 23pm and then unmute at 10am for  example.
    I am a really noob at this and need real help to get this done, its for a christmas family project
    The real idea is to set an hour to mute the sound and another to unmute it.
    The player I have done its the one in the following  tutorial http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3musicplayer/6.php
    I really hope you guys can help me ! :S
    thanks in advance

    if you just want to check the time when your app starts, use:
    function playSong(mySong:Number):void{
    var myTitle = my_songs[mySong].@TITLE;
    var myArtist = my_songs[mySong].@ARTIST;
    var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
    title_txt.text = myTitle;
    artist_txt.text = myArtist;
    if (my_channel){
    my_channel.stop();
    my_sound = new Sound();
    my_sound.load(new URLRequest(myURL));
    my_channel = my_sound.play();
    my_channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onNext);
        var myTime = new Date();
        var myHour:Number = myTime.getHours();
      var st:SoundTransform=my_channel.soundTransform;
       if ((myhour>=10)&&(myhour<=(22)){
    st.volume=1;
    } else {
    st.volume=0;
    my_channel.soundTransform=st;

  • Flash mp3 player doesn't scale when page zoomed

    It's possible there is nothing I can do to fix this, but wanted your expert advice.  Thanks for looking at this.  Gary
    I have installed a mp3 player on my site from dewplayer http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer
    It looks fine when I pull it up in a browser:
    But when I zoom the page (control-alt-scroll) the player remains the same size and does not scale with the page.
    It does scale correctly if you are minimizing the window (ie: clicking the top right minimize box on the browser).
    Here is the html:
    div id="column2Right">
    <h3 id="firstTopic">Featured Song</h3>
    <div id="albumArtShadow"><img src="images/album art/carly1.jpg" width="150" height="150" border="0"></div>
    <!--dewPlayer-->
    <div id="dewPlayerRcolumn">
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="dewplayer-mini.swf" width="195" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer">
    <param name="movie" value="dewplayer.swf" />
    <param name="flashvars" value="mp3=mp3s/carlyAllyse_somday.mp3" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    </object>
    </div>
    <!--close dewPlayer-->
    <div id="column2SongInfo">Carly Allyse<br />Someday</div>
    Here is the CSS
    #column2Right #dewPlayerRcolumn {
        padding: 0px;
        height: 20px;
        width: 195px;
        margin-top: 0px;
        margin-right: 0px;
        margin-bottom: 0px;
        margin-left: -5px;

    I have the same issue, and it is a browser issue. Like you mentioned, Chrome and Internet Explorer scale all Flash content properly. I have tried Firefox, Nightly, and Cyberfox (Firefox-based) and they all have the same problem. It isn't a dealbreaker for me right now but it is very annoying and I'd love it if the developers at Mozilla could look into fixing it (possibly in collaboration with Adobe). Also, even using the Flash beta (version 16) doesn't work.
