In this weekend i'll try to produce a webpage for the software, with a looooong wishlist section, where I will put all your comments / wishes. I also plan to release a new version to fix some bugs I detected and others you detected. And of course add a Paypal Donate link for those interested! THanks!

GYM at your work, GYM at home, GYM everywere! Everybody is working out. Let's exercise! Healthy people!

GYM doesn't do any kind of bit rate conversion. After saving if you get 128 kbps files means that you have 128 kbps files in the player. There shall be no setting to transcode to a different bitrate, the tracks shall be copied as is. Thanks

Your computer has USB 2.0 ? or 1.1 ? It seems that it is taking too long to get the tracks off the player... How long are the tracks ? What are your computer specifications ? While reading the source track GYM decodes the track using the correct cypher keys. This process can be intensive, depending mostly on your computer specifications.

Nice! I like when things work. Looks like we found another compatible device.

The encoded files in the player don't have IdTags, SS and MP3FM cuts them out. I'm considering the possibility of recreating some of the Id3Tags by using the Title, artist, Album, Genre information that are associated with the track. Wow... that's odd! I'll try to check that ... but the files are with the same bitrate / length... Thanks for using GYM!

Before it actually starts transfering the files, mp3 file manager encodes all the dragged files, thats why it almost seems crashed, but in fact it isn't. I'm going to test the #1's album bug it's a very unusual type of title Thanks for the saving tracks tip, It makes sense to save a single track. Have to thing a easy way of doing that In future versions for high demanding data transfer situations, messages will be displayed for people with USB 1.1 With USB 2.0 I bearly notice the application starting up Thanks for your comments!

Before playing the file, the file must be fully extracted. That why it takes sometime before the file starts playing. For futher versions i'm considering doing this as the mp3 plays.

What takes most of the time is mp3 file manager copying the files... For me it took almost 1 hour for copying 5000 files in the player. Explain me the freezing stuff

It hangs ? Where ? While playing mp3s ? Give me as much information as possible regarding this.

Yes, the mp3 playback sometimes have problems. The shuffle is a mess And better! Sometimes multiple tracks appear playing with the playing icon on the list. Regarding new developments: someone told that it would be nice to decode atrac files also. Well... atrac files have a totally different encoding scheme. Probably they use different keys. Need to check it out. Uploads... let me examine how mp3 file manager works, the files that it changes and we'll talk about it.

For now this is still just for donwloading from the player. No uploads allowed. For that you can use Mp3 file manager. It's not in my plans buying on of the new hdd players from sony, but i think this program will work with those also. Unless that "Connect" software thing changes the directory structure of the files...

No problems if you delete albums, import albums, or add more albums. GYM will work with no troubles. Once you got the keys generated, there is no need to generate them again. If you generated 10000 tracks, the wizard figured it out 10000 keys, which means that the first 10000 files saved in the player will be readable, got it? Now you can use your device freely. Thanks for the bug

You are only getting 10000 tracks in the player because you want to. You are able to choose for how many tracks you will like to generate keys. With 10000 certainly you will generate all the keys that are necessary. Let's face it, I own a 20 gb hd5, and with the harddrive almost full i have less than 3000 tracks. So I generated keys using 5000 tracks. More than enough. Your OMGAUDIO backup will be always preserved. And you shouldn't cancel the wizard in the middle.

No problem with that, as long as the 10000 tracks get in the player

thanks for catching the first bug

Hey, I also own a nh700 (great machine) and the program doesn't work with Hi-MD. The structure is completely different. But anyway I suppose that the cypher might be similar, because let's face it: the cypher can't be too complicated, otherwise the devices would run out of power just for decoding.

GYM - Grab Your Music v1.0 is in: http://www.atraclife.com/index.php?showtopic=440

Meanwhile the original thread: click here Cheers <HR noShade SIZE=1>

full version of the key generator and browser tomorrow hang on guys!

I'm developing a wizard to generate the keys on the device! screenshots: hope to have it finished soon It's looking nice isn't it ?

The version on the server doesn't have the save feature yet. I would ask you to wait a bit till the end of this week, it's going to be a busy week at work You have to install .NET Framework before using the application. I did a test with atrac files, they were downloaded, but winamp didn't played them (of course). I didn't test in importing these files back in Sonic Stage. Maybe it works, maybe not i'll try later Thanks for the support

well, i don't know, maybe in the future. The main objective was to do a reverse mp3filemanager. This along with mp3filemanager allows people to move in and out their mp3s, what is very useful.

what do you mean by compreesion options ?
