MP3 Manager for Clie

[abe214]

Hi everyone!

I know of this little program that allows one to make mp3 playlists so that play songs the way you wanted, one after the other.

You can make albums and arrange tracks as you want. Afterwards you can play them with the app.

The only disadvantage is that you cannot play those albums with the included AudioPlayer. Also, no other buttons, other than play, stop and volume control, are present with MP3 Manager v1.0. However, one can still use AudioControlDA for other controls such as forward, backward, seek, etc.

Enjoy!:D

Thanks abe214!

I'm sorry but I didn't quite remember where I got it. :( I just found the app recently when I was doing backups.

It must have been from one of those Japanese sites I strayed into. :p



Info sez:

v.1.0
c 2002 Sony Corporation

Yes the same thing happened to me. Search google for it or I will post it in the files section. But it's half a piece of crap because you can't pause it.

That's why I mentioned to use AudioControlDA for such controls. I needed an app to arrange tracks and MP3 Manager does just that.

I didn't like the way the AudioPlayer plays the files out of order. After folling around a while I verified what it is doing. Windows does not store files in sorted order, even though they are displayed that way. AudioPlayer plays the files in the order in which they are actually copied to the CLIE. I verified this by writing a program that shows the actual stored order of the MP3 files. The same program copies the files in that order to the CLIE. They are played in that order. I then changed the program to sort the file names (01-, 02-, etc.) and copy them in thatr order. They now play in the numerical sorted order.

OK. Is this an app anyone can use?

[gkas]

sure... It's kinda tacky and thrown together pretty quickly. EMail me and I'll send you a copy if you want it. I might just take the time to polish it up if there's enough interest.

I can't seem to find this elusive Mp3 Manager v1.0 program anywhere. Abe124, could you post it somewhere or email it to me? Maybe you could even attach it to a post, it that's not against a rule. It sounds like the programs free/shareware, right? Also, gkas, that program would be great if abe124's doesn't work out.

This is on the CD that comes with the T665 [perhaps others?].  It's in a subfolder called MP3Mgr under the CLIE folder.  Here's the readme:

Have you heard of Google... http://crspalm.hp.infoseek.co.jp/#acda

[leo_clie]

Would it be possible to post MP3Manager and the little programm from abe124 in the File-Section Sound? Then downloading would be also for me possible:D

[leo_clie]

Forgotten to give a link:

[abe214]

Not anyone can upload to the files section, only mods have the right to do so. :( As I've said I don't have any link to give other than Google. I do remember now that I got the app from the T615 installation CD before I upgraded to the T665. I cannot find it anywhere in my T665 installation CD, btw. For those interested please provide an email address here or a pm so I could mail it to you!

I've been looking for mp3 manager as well. Hope you could send the program to me. my email is kvin82@yahoo.com. Thanz to whoever that help.

[Doctor Evil]

Thanks for the info

[GreatOldOne]

Mp3 Manager works great on an SJ30/SA10, but the lack of basic track navigation is a bit of an oversight.

I've tried using AudioControlDA like some of you guys have, but it keeps crashing with a fatal exception. Anbody got it working on this hardware?

Ta,

GOO

P.S. Thanks to utahjazz85 for emailing the file! :)

Why SHOULD he have done that in the first place???  To make your life easier?  It would have been convenient, but it doesn't take much effort to find it yourself.  There's Palm software outside of Palmgear, ya know!

Instead of whining about it you could have found and posted a link yourself like so many other helpful people have done here.  And even if you didn't post a link, you didn't have to be an a$$hole about it.  But you were and that's your right.

You might want to keep that dogma on a leash!

you really dont need other softeware audio player will play the files in the order you want them. you can rearange the songs on the playlist just click on a song and press either the up or down button to move song to the location of your choice.

Hate to say it but read manual and pay attention.

[RichieRichDolla]

Then again you have a a different clie than i have. software might be different but i am pretty sure that you have the same feature on you clie.

Posting from my ux50

[leo_clie]

Meeehhn, what an outdated thread.

At the time I posted I have had a NR70 and there was no option like reorder available. Yeah, once upon a time, before any kind of upgrade existed.
