Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Nektarios, Visit www.cowonamerica.com for mp3 players that are simply...there isn't a word for it...perfect. Besides the rapping menus, that's it. The Iaudio X5 especially does everything one wants.

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Hi: It seems that Rockbox will support the Iriver H10 series when they get aroung to it. If I were you though, I would make an extra effort to acquire an Iriver H300 series unit. The newer units are more focused on their ability to display video now. You should be able to pick up an Iriver H320 or an H340 on Ebay from a reputable Ebay store. I was even able to find an Iriver h120 that way. Hope this helps. - Original Message - From: Nektarios Mallas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 10:03 AM Subject: Mp3 player purchase. Hello list.

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
hi i have the h10 20gb and its usable. i can't wait though for rockbox to support it but i'm able to navigate the menus and i think the fm tooner works very well. i haven't recorded with it but transfering files from the hardrive to it is coppy and paste. very easy. the up and down touch feature is great once you get use to it. my question would be does anybody know when rockbox might start to tackle the h10? - Original Message - From: Jim Noseworthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

RE: Mp3 player purchase.
Hello, I have some more questions if you can answer them please. Is it possible to navigate to a folder with files and sub folders and press play? For example, I may have a folder called jaz, inside that folder I have other folders by artist. I want to put the player in to shuffle mode and play songs from the jazz folder. Is that doable?

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Hi Nektarios. I've been very impressed with the creative zen 20GB player I recently bought. You can add music to the player using a standard windows explorer interface and copy and paste. It also has a touchpad for navigation but you are able to switch on a 'clicker' and therefore count the menu options by counting clicks. The menus don't wrap so it's easy to start again if you lose count. It's an extremely well built player and can handle MP3, WAV WMA formats. It has an FM tuner and voice recorder as well. The sound quality is superb and there are many other features I've yet still to play with such as using removable storage drives with the player. One more point on the menus, you can configure the menus to suit yourself with some sighted assistance so you can make them very minimal with just the features you want to use. I have documented the menus using web pages to illustrate how they work. For example, you press enter on menu and you'll see the main menu. You can then click on System to see the menu options in there and again click on player settings to see that menu. If you're interested in them or any other listers are interested, please e-mail me at the address below and I'll zip them up and send them to you. Regards.

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Nektarios, you wrote: I am able to find an iriver h140. Isn't that an older model though? I mean older than the 340? Are there esential differences between the two? Is rockbox supporting the h140? Yes, it is an older modell, but an even better one in my oopinion. It has optical in and out, which the 300s don't have. However, it can't play video files, this is only possible with the 300s. Also, the 300s have a display which is turned off after one hasn't pressed a key on the 300 for some time. The next key press doesn't do anything except reactivating the display. At least it works like this with the original iRiver firmware. Rockbox supports the 140 very well. Jonathan Mosen did a review of the 140 with Rockbox. By the way, Rockbox now also works on the iAudio X5, which another member of this list recommended. IAudio players are available here in Europe too. But my favorite is the iRiver 140. With the X5, one has to use a docking station for a couple of things. For instance I believe, that the USB port of the machine is on the docking station. Also the iRiver has a built-in mic preamp, so that one can use normal stereo mics with it. However, I do not know whether Rockbox supports this feature. *** Michael Lang *** ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Do they make a hardware device that I can stick a USB flash drive into that is a stereo component that can play mp3's? If not, what has a line out that I can hook up to a stereo? Can I just use the headphone jack as an output, or will that blow up the input? Finally, if I got something like that digicette thing, could I use it in tape players that close like those on boomboxes, etc? I know someone mentioned using one on blind cool tech, I bet the reason they sound like a cell phone in the recorded files is because it uses the tape head to some how record as well. - Original Message - From: Nektarios Mallas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'PC audio discussion list.

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Hi Folks: May first is targeted to be the next major release of Rockbox. There has been major changes in the way in which speech will be accessed. For anyone interested: do not install the latest builds of rockbox on your Iriver. If you do, your speech will not work.

For instance I believe, that the USB port of the machine is on the docking station. Also the iRiver has a built-in mic preamp, so that one can use normal stereo mics with it. However, I do not know whether Rockbox supports this feature. *** Michael Lang *** ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: Mp3 player purchase.
Nektarios, you wrote: Do you have any tips on how to use this player to share? I am reading the manual right now but it will help me start better if a blind person gave me a few tricks on that. I think my review of the H100, which is quite similar to the 140 still is available on the Main Menu on-demand site of ACBRadio. I used the original iRiver firmware and still use it instead of Rockbox. But one can have both of these worlds, because even with an installed Rockbox, one can boot the original iRiver firmware with the beeps, fast forward / rewind with sound and the other features, which aren't available in Rockbox. *** Michael Lang *** ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
