Can you manage mp3's with linux: Anybody know if it works like a flash drive?

http://gnomad2.sourceforge.net/ I wrote a quick patch for it that improves stiletto support. Let me know if you need it if you can't seem to get it to work with its original code. You can also run the windows software under wine; you just need to change a few things in order to do so. Email me if you need help :)

Yes you can. You plug with a normal USB cord to a computer and it becomes a new removable disk. Directories are playlists and you can copy your mp3 files into it.

that is something I haven't tried. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. I might suggest that the mp3 files be in the ROOT (i.e. don't place it in a folder while using parts of the flash for other types of files. If you put the mp3s in a sub folder the device may not be able to find them and you may not have a way to re-direct the cd changer to s SUB-FOLDER. Try it both ways, but I'm betting it will be fine if the mp3s are in the root.

I use Cruzer Glide 16GB USB thumb drives in mine. I use a Windows 7 PC to put Mp3 files on the drive.

Unfortunately it only will load MP3 files not any other format. I Googled and found another one which does.

If you have a usb mp3 player it will not read the music files. If you copy mp3 files to a usb drive (no folders) it will play them.

Not directly from say a thumb drive, if that's your question. It can, of course play MP3 files it receives from an attached computer (USB) or other player (CD Toslink) which uncompresses the files. CAUTION: I could NOT ever get the USB interface to work on Vista 64, so I returned the unit. Later bought their UDH01 DAC + HPA but the USB drivers crash my system. Now paperweight.

I know that you can put the music into folders but I did not do that. I would just dump the mp3 files on to the card and use it that way.

I'm not an expert at this but I do not have any problem storing my MP3 files so they can be played in my Onkyo Audio & Video Receiver. So far, no songs have been skipped when it was played. When I did copy and paste those files into the flash drive, it's pretty fast. I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for. I like the flash drive - good enough for my use.

My Sonawave plays music in the root of the drive, and also in a folder. If you still have trouble, just move your mp3 files to the root of the drive. By the way, it only plays MP3 type files. Good luck.

Hello Eric. This is quite an old device, amazing I got a follow up. This is only a player as far as I know. I do not recall any software that came with it - though it has been 5 years or so.We use it to play on-hold music via a 256mb (yes 1/4 gb) memory stick. Running constant for many years, never a problem. Been a great device.That being said, there is no reason you cannot create a set of mp3 files yourself on a normal computer and then use this device to play them. So many programs to use for such a purpose.

This works fine if the individual mp3 files have cover art embedded. You can do this with free mp3tag software on windows.

It works fine in MSC mode.This player sounds awesome compared to other low-priced mp3 players. It also has a micro-sd slot, so you can pop a sandisk 4gb expansion card into it.The player locks up occasionally right after disconnecting it from the computer. If it does this to you, just plug it back into the usb slot until it reboots, and you should be fine. Never had a problem otherwise.Works fine under Linux, so screw micro$oft.

I use Winamp to organize all my MP3 files and playlists and I am able to drag and drop them very seamlessly to my MP3 player. It's fast and best of all FREE!

I plugged it in and it acted like a usb drive. I copied over some mp3s and it worked fine.

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

Yes, it has a usb port and will play mp3's loaded onto a thumb drive. It does get confused at times though and must be re-booted to play everything. Good price tho.
