Re: My new player
 

i tried to do that
4. By doing step #3 above, open up Windows Explorer and go to here: C:\Program Files\MP3 Player Utilities 3.57\AMVTools (or where you installed your AMV Convert Tool) and now you will see a file called "transformsetup.ini".

5. Open the transformsetup.ini file using Notepad.

but first of all i dont have that file iin directory and other i cant press settings button its not like highlighted and i cant do anything

Help please somebody

You should get AMV software version 4.05 (mp3 player utilities), from the download section on this site. You can choose more sizes to convert to, and experiment. Larger screen video's need more processor power, playback might suffer (stuttering video). Uninstall old version before installing the new one.

dmsee, Your player appears to have a 1.5 inch screen so MP3 Player Utilities 3.68 is still the best version for this screen size. For full screen select 128x128 for wide screen 128x96.

For the settings button to become active you need to load a file for conversion and then click or double click on it in the file list at the bottom.

A word of warning regarding the link you left to eBay. If this is the player you bought then i strongly suggest you check to see if your player has a hacked memory chip, it may not be a true 2GB. The seller blown-z is known for selling hacked players and has been posted in the Black List:
http://www.mympxplayer.org/anybody-w...nz-vt2365.html

You can check if your player is a true 2GB with MP3 Player Disk Tool which is part of MP3 Player Utilities.

And "lattesurf" has posted an excellent guide on removing memory hacks here:

Re: My new player
 

Well you guys were right
I have now only 487MB
What should i do
IS there any way i can put the memory it had before?

You can not put the memory back, because it was never there. Blown-z is fooling people, but is getting away these days because of the way he advertises.
He writes 2 Gb, which actually means 2 gigabit. divided by 8 (8 bits in a byte) leaves 128 MB (megabytes) He will say you are better off, coz you got 512 MB (minus space for the software).
You were fooled by the 2 GB versus 2Gb writing, a sick way of making money, but he is a sick person.
Before he made his feedback private, he advertised with GB, and people got a refund, whole or partially. Never buy from people that have a lot of bad, or private, feedback.

Hello there!
I'm planning on getting this MP4 player this weekend, http://www.factorydirect.ca/catalog/...p?pcode=MP4002
Please tell me if its worth buying it ! :) Thx for ur time!

PS- Does the clickwheel works on these MP players? or is it just there to make it look pretty!

N3o, Have not heard any feedback on the company so do not know it's reputation. The picture looks bogus to me, more like a photoshop mockup than a true photo so I would be suprised if the player actually looks like that. I certainly have never seen one like it. The click wheel does not work it is a fiveway button press setup. Finally if this is the detailed specifications"2GB MP3/MP4 VIDEO PLAYER COLOUR LCD " the abbreviated must be a fullstop. Me personally I would not buy from there.

Yes you are right tadad1, the website doesn't have any details about the MP4 player.
I think it'll be better if I go to their store, and then check it out! BTW is there anyway of finding out if the mp4 player really has 2GB just by looking at it?

N3o. sadly no you need to open it and actually check the chip number or connect it to a PC to test.

Re: My new player
 

alright.. the other thing I want to know is that.. Do these MP4 players have all the features that an iPod nano has..? like play lists, shuffle the songs.etc..?

N3o,

For Action and Sigmatel chipset players.

You can only do one task at a time, so you can not listen to music and browse photos or play games at the same time.


File browsing is not possible in all firmware. You can select a folder you want to play but only on some players can you select a particular track.

No playlist support

You can random play songs but only by folder, If you have 3 folders of music they will not randomly play from all folders only the folder you select to play.

Despite the fact that they are called MP4 Players they do not play the MP4 format all video needs to be converted to .amv or .smv depending on the players chipset.

The newer rockchip players support multi tasking and .avi video but you still need to convert to specific frame rate, size, format, etc.

Thanks alot for the info tadad1, it seems to me that these MP4 players really do have lots of limitations. I was going through the newspaper this morning, and saw another ad about these MP4 players,
1 GB MP4 PLAYER FOR $54 CDN
2 GB MP4 PLAYER FOR $73 CDN.

I really want a good shuffler,, because when I am studying I don't want to listen to the songs in the same order... a mix of everything from my music player would be awesome.
So do u think its worth buying 2GB of this MP4 player or a 1GB iPod shuffle nano whcih is about $70 CDN these days cuz of christmas.. Which one would you buy?

Re: My new player
 

N3o , if you had a slightly more flexible budget, i'll suggest a Teclast player.
The 1GB model goes for US$75, and it plays .avi videos, music files, etc. Also, it is able to multitask. Only it does not have a playlist, but is able to browse by the files (which the nano-clones don't support).

N3o, On my 2GB players I have 1 music folder, on my PC I have around 6,000 mp3. Every day I connect my player and and use a program called Flash Shuffler, I have it set to delete all the files in the Music folder of my player then randomly select 1024MB of music files from my PC and copy them to my player. This gives me about 250 random MP3's in one folder. This suits me because obviously I like all the music I have and it gives me about 10-11 hours of mixed music.
The other gig of space will hold 3 or 4 full length movies that I can watch on a 1.8 inch screen. I can connect it to any PC and move files to and from it without frigging around with iTunes crap.
So the chiPod suits me better than the iPod.
Although I like the nano clone I have I prefer the non nano players firstly because they use a standard 3.5mm earphone socket where the clones use a 2.5mm so you have to get a 2.5-3.5 adapter to use some quality earphones and I recommend you upgrade the earphones.

Also non nano players generally have more battery space. The standard chiPod nano battery around 230mAh gives anything from 4-6 hours continuous music play, this player HERE I upgraded the battery with an ipod mini replacement 600mAh and it now gives me 12-13 hours continuous music play. I did have to remove the tiny internal speaker but I never used it anyway.

This player HERE I updated with a 850mAh 3rd gen iPod replacement battery and it now returns over 18 hours of continuous music play, once again I ditched the speaker.

The short answer to your question, I would buy a 2GB Chinese MP4 before a 1GB iPod any day preferably a non nano clone.

Re: My new player
 

Well.. Thanks alot for the info tadad1 and lattesurf .

I think i'll buy the 2GB MP4 :)

Re: My new player
 

Hey tadad1 , I finally bought the 2GB MP4 player for $83 CDN including tax. lol. here is the info abt it:

LISONG MP3 PLAYER
Wilson Co. Ltd

9.0.48

N3o, Well with 9.0.48 firmware it is running one of the newer chipsets that seem to be a little more powerful and quicker. They also support USB 2.0 (HS) data transfer so it is twice as quick to load files to.
A word of warning do not try to upgrade the firmware as there is practically no chance of recovering a dead 9.0.48 player at the moment.
If you can get some pictures up and a bit of a review it would be great.

Enjoy it mate and have a great Christmas :)

Re: My new player
 

Hey tadad1, Sorry I don't have a camera yet.. but as soon as I get one I'll take some pics.. Bascailly it looks exactly the same as this one:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...200px-Mpx2.JPG
except, right under the screen it says, "COOL VIEW".

It has more features then I was expecting, it can play random songs from a specific folder, repeat certain songs, folders, etc, Intro, (PLays 10 seconds of all songs in a specific folder) lyrics work perfectly fine too. FM radio, Phone book, pictures, few games that I don't know how to play yet :( Movies.. and I can also make a partition, and then put a password on one partition to save my "secrets". lol thats they word that they used in the manual. :lol:

Unfortunately, no multi-tasking:( as u mentioned earlier.

N3o, Despite certain limitations thay still have a lot of good features for the price.

Yes they certainly do have lots of great features for a very reasonable price! :)
