An MP3 file is not displayed on the Flash Memory display or in the
SmartMedia card display list box even if it is downloaded.
If you had no problem communicating with the player previously, it may
happen that the player could not be recognized by the MPMan-F50 Manager
software. In this case, initialize the Flash Memory or SmartMedia card of the
player by clicking on the Initialize button.
You may also try unplugged and then reconnect the cable.
Player is not recognized by the PC.
If MPMan-F50 Manager does not recognized the player, refer to the
following:
¶U First, check if the USB cable is connected properly, or if the player is on.
¶U Check that the MPMan-F50 USB driver is installed. If it is not installed,
install the MPMan-F50 USB driver.
¶U If the player is connected to the USB hub, disconnect the player and
connect to an available USB port on your PC directly.
¶U If you have upgraded your PC from Windows 95 to Windows 98, the USB
port of your PC has no capability to control devices other than USB
keyboard and mouse. In this case, you may upgrade the BIOS of your PC.
Contact the manufacturer of your PC to get the information about the
BIOS. In this case, however, the player may not work with your PC due to
your PC hardware limitation.
For more information about MPMan-F50, please prefer to the following URL:
http://www.mpman.com
Exiting the MPMan-F50 Manager
Close the MPMan-F50 Manager before unplugging the USB cable from the
player.
Cassette adaptors
You may use a cassette adaptor for a car stereo system to listen to the sound
on your car audio system. Connect the plug of the cassette adaptor with the
earphone jack of the player and insert the cassette adaptor in the car stereo
player.
How do I expand the memory?
The 32MB Flash Memory is already built into the player. You may expand
the memory by inserting a SmartMedia card which is commercially available.
Is there a standard volume level for the MP3 files?
The volume level of MP3 files (encoded data of audio CD) depends on
software for encoding.
How is the available memory size on the manager software displayed?
A memory chip on the player is composed of blocks, each of which can be
8KB or 16KB depending on the Flash Memory type. A whole block will be
used even if you try to store a one-byte file. Thus, even though some selected
files in the local list box show less than the available memory size of this
model, you may not be able to download such files to the player.
How may minutes of MP3 files can this player hold?
It depends on the memory size of the player. A player with 64MB of memory
can hold approximately 60 minutes of the near CD quality sound MP3 files.
