Inside the Optimus Cosmic player (2.4" 240x340)... Rock

[makd511]

just got my Ainol v900 ATJ2135 player from i-yotta.com

initial thoughts after a quick play are good - but a few problems that need sorting

so far:

really great sound
nice popup menus
can play FLV (most)
wont play my rockchip converted videos

list songs in ALPHABETICAL order NOT by track number _ BAD BAD BAD

playlists
bookmarking of vids and music - great for audio books etc

the player itself (ainol) - well, more to come but its not good

i am still playing so may have mussed things and am intending a full review of the chip and its functions and small review of ainol v900 player

more to come

It surprise me that it weren't able to play your rockchip videos... mine played them without problems :shock:

[makd511]

it wont play any of the files i have made with Imtoo dvd ripper, but i just tried a couple of sample files of this site and put them on and they worked - so not sure why my converted files wont work - shame cos i have quite a few now - i will have to investigate the files and encoding settings - you know a good tool for this???

BTW Daremos in the music menu is an option called "level" - any idea what this is??

It's a bad translation for the stars that appears when you press menu one time. It's the level of stars you give to the song from 1 to 5. I think that "ranking" should have be a better translation or "rating"?

I use two tools for that... one is G-Spot which allows you to watch the videos, and the other is MediaInfo here -> MediaInfo
this show info interactively in Windows Browser

thanks for that Daremos

i had seen and used the star rating but never linked it to "level"

do you or have you discovered a way to list music files in a different order - mine lists the alphabetically and not by track number - so it plays them by alphabet and so in wrong order

That's proper of your V900 firmware, in mine it display all the songs of an Artist by its tracks number within each album without any separation between them. In other words, correctly, but you see just a long list with no further information. I think indeed its a playlist of two levels rather than a catalog.

[makd511]

no - mine definitely listing by sing tag name.
if i go in by artist then i get long list of all songs by that artist, not list of albums then songs.

BTW mine are in WMA wonder if that is a problem of song order - i will check this by loading album of mp3

BTW firmware version on my player
13.00.10.1015 - and plays FLV - did you say yours could play FLV or not

[DaremoS]

Your version is newer than mine
I will pick it up when Ainol put them in their site
Mine doesn't play FLV
it's version 13.00.10.1012
