Well, if your "any PC" is running Windows 95 you'll have to install some software first, but that's picky. :-DFritz Whittington wrote:
Just to clarify, with what little I've picked up from the newsgroups. There are apparently certain brands/models of mp3 players which do *not* support the simple mechanism of looking like an ordinary USB mounted file system. Such players require specific manufacturer-provided software to move mp3 files to the device, and of course they mostly provide Windows versions, sometimes a Mac version, but almost never a Linux version.
So the key technical point is to find out whether or not the device
supports ordinary file transfer like a pen drive over USB. If not, I
would look for something else. Most versions of Linux support USB file
systems.
"MuVo TX FM is equipped with USB 2.0 that enables faster transfer of music or data files to and from your computer. MuVo TX FM comes with a built-in USB connector. Simply attach MuVo TX FM to any PC or notebook and drag-and-drop your files. No cables or installation software needed(3)."
Well, that has nothing to do with how you got the files there in the first place. You'd have to ask the people who make it. I would presume there is a little display and some control buttons on the player. Or maybe they let you edit a plain text file that has a magic name, like playlist.txt, and transfer that. They did say "music or *data* files".That seems promising. Thanks to everyone who replied.
OK, now to go a little off topic. So if you just mount it as a USB mass storage file system and you drag and drop (or cp) files to it, how do you specify the order in which they play?
Thanks.
