Not sure if everyone knows this but you can play MP3 files at 32kbps on the UX in the AudioPlayer in the ROM. Read below.



Look in this directory:
C:\Program Files\Sony Handheld\Manuals\PEG-UX50_PEG-UX40\CLIE_application_manual\00_nav\nav_f1500.html
on your computer. You should find what is above there.

hi clie techs. I recently purchased a clie ux-50 and i'm very happy with it, but i need some help. What free programs are out there that i can download to convert songs from a CD to an MP3 format so that i transfer them to my 256 sony PRO memory stick?

This is my first time posting so if my question is a bit off please be patient.

iTunes is evil. It lets you use AAC, or MP3. Nothing else supported. WMP lets you play anything it has a codec for.

I'm playing a 44.1 kHz 320 kbps MP3 file on my Clie right now.

Hi there,

I think NONE of my existing MP3 are in Constant bit rate, so Audio player is useless. I am not going to re-encode all my MP3 to be able to play them with Audio Player or even Media Launcher --which looks great, thanks to JAmerican.

Do you guys know a good alternative to Pocket Tunes, which would not drain the battery ?

Thanks,

treffmeister

Couldn't agree more with moUk. I was one of the 1st users of dbPowerAMP, and it's awesome plain and simple. Powerful with many features, supports every codec under the sun.. the list goes on.
iTunes: Featureless, codecless, slow,.. it even sucks when it doesn't have an iPod attached to it.
People with iPods are so stupid they probably don't even realise the drawbacks of essentially having _1_ application for their music "player" aka "trying to be cool with money because it doesnt have any features" device.

Yep.

I do not use audioplayer as it does not recognise ID3 tags and for me this makes it useless, if there is an easy way to list songs by artist and album in audioplayer then i'll start using it. As it is I put up with the poor power usage of pocket tunes for the sake of not listening to my mp3s in one big alphabetically arranged playlist. Audioplayer is probably one of the worst music players I have ever encountered.

Maybe I'm just stupid and can't figure out how to use it.

And another thing, I can't seem to copy anything into RAM, it's not an option in FileZ. Maybe I should be asking this in a new thread.

And another thing, DBpowerAmp is fantastic.

This thread needs to be updated with the following information:

Memory Stick Pro media are equipped with MagicGate DRM technology -- they are currently sold in black. The problem is not that AudioPlayer/any Clie is not compatible with MagicGate DRM on Memory Stick Pros, but rather, something more ridiculous: Sony hasn't bothered making SonicStage compatible with Memory Stick Pros.

This has become a sore embarrassment with the release of the PSP. Users are realizing that Sony's bundled software cannot copy music to the PSP onto anything larger than 128mb (i.e., Pro media).

The history is stupid and immature. Sony has admitted that its executives at the Connect and hardware divisions are in a deadlock-fight over ATRAC vs. MP3, so the warfare has suspended all development on this compatibility issue.

At the very maximum, I have received correspondence from Sony saying that they are considering updating SonicStage to recognize Pro media. Sony refused to lay out a timeframe.

I have not installed PocketTunes as I find AudioPlayer sufficient. What are the primary benefits of PocketTunes over Audio player.

For me, VBR MP3.

I have my entire collection ripped to VBR MP3 and I do NOT want to go through that again.
