Help! Samsung MP3 players, arhghgh!!

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone got one? Specifiically, the 8gb Samsung YP-P2 touchscreen?

Is there an easier way to transfer music onto it without having to add the files into the 'My PC' area, create a folder for the artist on the portable bit on the right of the screen, open that, then import the files into it? It's a pain in the ass and it's taking me forever to add all my music, why won't it just group them into folders automatically?! And why the hell does it only do MP3 and WMA, and not support any other formats or m4a? Actually, why is this bloody programme so manually-driven?

Or am I just being stupid and needing to give it time to figure it out? It just seems so counter-intuitive compared to good old iTunes, or my drag-and-drop Zen Stone... I'm loving the player but getting mega-frustrated with the software it comes with.

Any suggestions most welcome...

can you use the good old copy paste method? not familiar with the player but if it connects to Windows as a drive you can just take the files you want and paste them into the drive/MP3 player.

as for the formats thing, the mp3 player has to have the codecs imbeded into the the player itself. So it only supports those two because those are the only codecs it has. Codecs are limited for multiple reasons; system resources, hardware incompatibility, patent issues, etc. MP3 and WMA are the most common formats atm (that aren't related to specific player), so they the ones usually get picked

BTW ITunes = proprietary, so few will support the format it uses ( a DRM version of aac called M4P). In able to support it, companies have to pay hefty royalties.
