How to fix the MP3 player, the idea here is to take a soldering tin, open the MP3 player as a watermelon and start changing components. We refer to compensation at the software level, or when the default firmware starts to do his thing and there seems nothing to do back of darkness. One option is to try to force an official firmware, but there is an alternative, as long as your device is compatible: Rockbox. It takes a while among us, but its development has come a long way, and its compatibility list has become longer.
Can we consider a dedicated mp3 player as obsolete? After all, playing music is just a function in the great majority of phones available in the market, but those who advocate "decentralization" of devices must use and abuse of them. Like with any expression of modern technology, an MP3 player may stop working. Usually the reason involves an accident such as "physically strong" or typical "amphibious exploration," but also the firmware, and from time to time, decide to have a rebel attack that takes a walk indefinite. Now, if the player is a relatively known brand, there should be an official method of recovery. However an alternative would be to replace the firmware directly. Rockbox has passed through the halls of the blogs few years ago and has come a long way since then. The list of supported devices has expanded, and fortunately, its main functions are still intact. It is generally faster than the standard firmware may lead to lower power consumption in some models, with comprehensive support of audio formats (including FLAC always desired), enables images and text, and also provides playback video units that allow it. The players support list includes classics like the first iPod (in unstable), the Archos players and renowned people Sansa SanDisk and others. Be sure to visit the official website to see if there is at least an unstable version that works with your player.
The installation utility is easy to use, and can run on Windows, Mac and Linux. Although the review indicates a date of May 2011, the latest version was compiled in late June. Even if your mp3 is not a problem, not a bad idea to replace its firmware with Rockbox. Its built-in functions beyond what the manufacturer provides by default, so it would be possible to inject a little life to an old player. Now, if what you have in your hands is one of many "s1mp3" generic from the East, then Rockbox is for you. Pay a visit to this site, find the model of motherboard in your player, and cross your fingers hoping you have a compatible firmware.
