sam36 , unfortunately there isin't any hold button on the player. But it doesn't matter much as there isin't the clickwheel function as with the ipods, which needs the hold function.

ah ok, nevermind..

I dont suppose you could link me to an ipod skin for my player (1.5" screen) please?

Thankyou

sam36 , uxcell.com sells the silicon skins for the 1.5" players. eBay has some sellers selling them, but i found uxcell to be cheaper when i bought mine sometime back.

You can use a normal ipod skin, but you would need to cut the screen to be larger (ipod nanos are 1.2"). Also the alignment of the buttons would be off too. And some clones have the earphone socket on the side rather than the bottom, for this, you'll need to cut the earphone hole too.

sam36 , you'll need to check for your player's firmware version. The v3.5.xx series, and any version v9.0.43 and below should be fine and be able for theming. This is a list of all the themes uploaded by members
http://www.mympxplayer.org/themes-dc25.html

However, do ensure that you extract a backup of your existing firmware first, the guide is here http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-ex...tool-vt66.html

And do not use any themed firmware to flash into your player, doing so would most likely brick your player. Always use your own extracted firmware (as above) and swap the images using the S1res tool. Saving it, then flashing it back into your player. The full guide to theming is here http://www.mympxplayer.org/how-to-mo...ng-vt1719.html

sam36 , what firmware version is your player running off? You can check this by going to the Sys Tool menu and select Firmware Version.
