Thread: Do you have an MP3 player?
Harrison 10:06 6th May 2008
Really? I didn't know that. Any idea what sizes of HD it can support? Does it need to be the same as it came with. Mine is a 60GB one for example. Or can you stick a larger one in there? And does it need to be a specific make or spec?

One of my mates put an 80GB HDD in his 30GB model. A search online shows that someone's used a 120GB HDD successfully. It needs to be a 9.5mm ATA-100 drive (laptop style). There's a guide on how to do it here.

The only MP3 players I have are my two mobile phones and my two PSPs.

But my main MP3 player is the custom PSP, as I also have lots of Miggy music on there too.

This is interesting. Until now I had been accessing my old creative Zen Xtra using the third party software from Red Chair. But that was installed on one of my older systems. Today I decided to see how MediaMonkey worked with the Zen, but I discovered I needed to install some drivers so that Windows would recognise the device first.

After installing the drivers and connecting the Zen to the PC it appeared as a drive letter (as it used to). Before this was just to use the Zen's HD to store files but not to access the music on it. But now when I go into the drive I can see all of the music on the Zen and drag and drop. That is much easier and made me very happy!

It is a bit annoying that it doesn't support folders/directories though as it means all of the tracks are such displayed in one big directory together making it very hard to navigate them. Still, it's much better than before. And with MediaMonkey it is easy to manage them if needed.
