Re: [SLE] sandisk mp3 player

Thanks for the URL. I got my computer to find the device.

I ripped a bunch of CDs with grip, each CD ripped to an mp3 in a directory
with the name of each CD.  There's also a text file with the suffix "*.m3u"
for each CD, listing its contents.  I copied all the newly created
directories to that drive.  The songs play and everything, but they are not
grouped.  They appear in the display as a long list in alphabetical
order.

In the "Album" section are two choices: "Unknown" and "Play All."  I was kind
of expecting to see my directories as albums, like when they appeared on the
hard drive of my computer.  I keep thinking if I put the .m3u files somewhere
the player will read them and order accordingly.

Unfortunately, I don't have a native Windows computer or I would copy a test
album to figure out how they order things. I have a VMware Windows instance,
but it won't recognize the player at all, in either mode. Rats. I have an
old laptop I could load with the Windows install disks, but its been some
years since I've known exactly where those disks are.

I also sent an email to daniel, who seems to be the one working on the
Rockport Linux OS for the thing. I guess my next plan is to copy just one
album to the player and experiment from there. If anyone has some concrete
knowledge or even any ideas, I'd sure like to hear them.

"The player has two modes. One mode is like an external USB drive and
supports MP3's. That should work just fine for Linux. Two drives will
show. One is the internal memory and the other is the SD card."
