How can I get MP3 songs stored on my Mini SD Card to play. I have V7and
cand get Vcast but I want my own MP3's to play. I have enabled the MP3
in the service menu. I can get MP3 ringtones to play but not my songs.
Why fight a half-assed MP3 player hobbled up by RIAA and the cellular
companies trying to dump data for big money on you?
I require STORAGE and FREEDOM in MP3 players. They must not use some
proprietary, RIAA-hobbling interface or proprietary (like Ipod) music
format to play. You MUST be able to open Windows Explorer and click and
drag whole directories of MP3 music to the player, which MUST show up on
Windoze as a portable USB hard drive. You MUST be able to copy and move
MP3, or ANY files, from the player onto the system hard drive, unmolested
by the proprietary crapware Ipod and many others use.
To do this, look to companies that make portable storage FIRST and MP3
players on the side....
SanDisk
Archos
US Modular
and my beloved monster Digital Mind Xclef 500
I'm currently pointing friends interested to the SanDisk Sansa E series
players with micro hard drives in them:
http://tinyurl.com/dz44x
which comes in 2, 4 and 6GB flavors. On the side, not really important
to me as they are way too small, they also play videos and slide shows on
1.8" TFT color screens.
All I care is they directly play MP3 files simply copied to them as an
external hard drive on a USB port with no special software, period. They
are too small for me. 6GB is nothing, only 1440 songs in 96 hours. It's
adequate if you only like a couple of genre and not much diversity.
These units also live up to my other secondary standard...They must play
longer, continuously without stopping, than I stay awake in a single day,
fully recharging before I awake. The SanDisk E series runs 20 hours
continously playing 128Kbps MP3 files, without a charger or skimping
shutting them on and off. It's standard battery is also easily
replaceable.
My favorite player is older, larger and now has the largest 2.5" hard
drive available, 120GB. It supports up to 137GB drives. It uses
standard hard drives 2.5" laptop beasts that are amazingly shockproof
with their built-in shock detectors that park the heads while it's on its
way to the concrete floor. Demand is huge so they always stay in short
supply from a small company in Californicate, Digital Mind:

Why screw around loading some tiny memory, cellphone or not, when you can
take it all with you and have room left to rip files off your buddy's
system by just plugging it into his USB socket and copying his whole
collection off onto your player, whole hog, to take home? How silly.
This player has a nice FM radio you can even record direct to MP3s at
many speeds from, a low-res voice recorder to record ANY length meeting
from without fear of running out of storage space and a high speed MP3
stereo encoder you can plug into any standard audio source to record it
all, no matter how long the concert goes on and on and on. It uses an
easy-to-find STANDARD lithium-ion battery and plays/records for 22 HOURS
on a charge, easily! It charges as fast as a camera, because it uses a
camera battery. It comes with a NICE leather carrying case with NICE
belt clip to put it on your belt. It has an enormous memory it plays
from, loading the memory only infrequently as it plays, so don't be
afraid to run with it. It'll catch up. Beating around in my truck on
the road it does NOT skip or balk. It's been doing it for nearly 2
years, now. Sorry you can't buy one at the moment....get on the email
list and they'll call you when it's available. Be careful listening to
it, too. At 10mw per channel it will drive your favorite professional
headphones undistorted and really LOUD!...TOO LOUD! I guess they didn't
listen to the low-powered hearing bureaucrats, either....(c;
One of my friends is a broadcast engineer. His station borrowed it for a
few days and recorded 24 hours of the station's music format, minus the
news of course, by plugging the Xclef into the console output that goes
to the transmitter. A week later, when the new studio equipment arrived,
we plugged the Xclef into the 100KW FM transmitter's stereo input and
punched PLAY. It ran for 14 hours on the air...on its battery...with
noone at home any wiser that they were listening to last weeks broadcast
day, except for the network news and local weather from a mic in the
transmitter shack's bathroom...(c; Sure sounded better than my little FM
transmitter I use in the car with it....From 1200' up, it had lots more
RANGE!...(c; That night, smooth as silk during the 8PM news break, the
transmitter was taken off the Xclef's MP3 file and put on the NEW
studio's output. Noone could see the difference....(c;
Ipods and cellphones SUCK....
