The instructions with this machine are woeful and I am now wishing I had bought another one. I have loaded in files but when I try to access them I can see them on the computer but only some of them appear and can be played on the machine even though it is a 1Gb What am I doing wrong or should I claim on the guarantee and get rid? Help would be much appreciated. |

I recently brought IItronics IMP11 for christmas and I had 2/3 problems occuring to me:
I have successfully installed the cd-rom onto my computer. I also successfully managed to plug the USB Port into my computer the MP3 says its startin but nothing happens.
The instructions differ for the MP3. In the User Manual it says "Online Device" went I look for the Online Device its not there it only says "Online Mode"
I have been racking my brains since christmas day to figure this MP3 out and still no answers.
So please help me!!!
Reply me as soon as possible using the email.
Thank you |

Got imp 11 as Christmas present ... I'm an IT Lecturer ... the instructions are pathetic ... I swithed it off using the on/off button ... then switched it on ... now there are no icons on the lcd screen ... and it wont switch off unless I remove the battery ... connected it to USB port to update firmware ... all I get is message saying that removable disk is busy ... my son hadn't the cash to buy me a Sony MP3 but I think that I'll get him to exchange it for a Sony and pay the difference. Looking at all the forums I see that the IItronics iMP 11 is problematic - I guess you only get what you pay for ... I've got lots of Sony equipment ... all reliable, albeit more expensive than it's competitors ... but worth the peace of mind when I experience all the frustration with the IItronics iMP 11. |

I have just bought an iMP11 512mb and have absolutely no idea what to do with it. I plug in the USB cable and when the LCD on the player comes on its a picture of a computer and a file, what does this mean? I dont know how to download music from my computer to the player. The instructions are worse than useless!!! can anyone get me started or at this rate its going back to the shop. |

| | bill on January 7, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
eleanor you need to have a prolonged press on the play button then a menu on your mp3 player will come up and select music (by pressing the mode button down at the top) then it will say your songs. to play them you need to press play or turn up the volume |
|
| | derek on January 7, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11

| | Graham on January 10, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
have stumbled across this board because my daughter couldn't figure out why her iMP-11 wouldn't copy any more files and wouldn't show a lot of them.... so after reading some of the posts above here's my conclusions (hope they help).
Download Music - don't download straight to the player, download to the hard drive first then use windows explorer to drag and drop on to the removalable drive (the mp3 player)
CD to MP3 - take a look on one of the download sites (download.com, tucows, etc) for a program called "audio catalyst". This program reads normal CD's and crunches them down to MP3. Don't forget to crunch them to your hard drive first then drag and drop them on to the MP3 player.
99 Tracks Only - The player seems to be locked to 2 digits, so although you can see all the songs on windows explorer only 99 will show on the player. What to do is in windows explorer create folders on your MP3 player (folder1, folder 2, etc) and then place up to 99 tracks in each folder. The MP3 player will let you swap between "local folders" and all songs will be displayed and played on the player.
Player Switches Off - check that you haven't got it on sleep timer.
Firmware - why? The player plays songs so why mess with firmware? Sorry folks but I am of the school of "don't fix what ain't broken".
Anyway, here's hoping that some of the above might have been of help to at least one or two people.

| | Keiran on January 11, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
OK, here's some pointers.
1. The drive will only read audio files in a single level directory tree.
i.e.
x:\artist\track1.mp3
NOT
x:\artist\album\track1.mp3
You can tailor most MP3 ripping software to do somthing like
x:\artist\artist-album-tracknum-trackname.mp3
using an expression language that should be part of the advanced setup.
If you have more than 99 tracks for an artist make an extra top level directory like artist-vol2.
2. The manual on the IItronics website seems to reflect the interface better. Downloads at 'http://www.iitronics.com/?PageID=support&ProdID={449FCCBB-9B6A-4742-BCF1-3F2D1E54574B}'.
Hope this helps |

hey i bought this product 3 weeks ago and i must of dropped it or acidently knocked it because my screen has cracked, i was woundering how i could get a new screen or somthing. To be ohnest those screens are weak and easily broken. so if you could get back to me i would be most grateful. |

| | Dan on January 20, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
hi i got mine as a late christmas present (256MB) and have had no problems but then when i borrowed my friends to download some songs for him i noticed the screens are different. On his the display is identical to that in the manual but mine is a smaller display. ANd when i switch off his a display with a person vanishing followed by the words Power Off comes up but on mine it just turns off without saying anything.
Hace i got a fake or has my friend got a fake, i think i have because the manual shows a display identical to the one my friend has. My friend has 256MB as well.
Also in the manual and my friends display the black and white part of the screen takes up the whole thing but on mine there is a little header and border that houses icons that turn black whn on, like battery power level. |
|
| | dan on January 20, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
If Ian is still checking this board i think we have the same problem, does yours have a smaller digital display part and the same problems that i have noted in my previous post |
|
| | callum on January 21, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
Does anyone no of a download site where u can download music compatible with the mp3 player. It always says 'file error' when i try to play it |

| | BOB on January 22, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
THIS MP3 PLAYER SUCKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| | Susan on January 24, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
My daughter has 512mb version of the above named MP3 player. Works fine but when she goes to add more tracks onto it and click the 4musics icon it comes up with the message " Sorry but your 15 day trial has expired! Please register your copy at WWW.4musics.com. Which I have tried and tried to do but there is no link to take you to the registration part, all there seems to be is downloads for files to convert and ALL are at a cost. So am a bit peed off that after paying £50 am expected to fork out more cash !! Is there any quick solutions to this or has anyone else discovered this problem?? |
|
| | dan on January 25, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
you could also try www.mp3shits.com. when downloading save to the computer first then copy and paste it onto the removable disk |
|
| | vicky on January 26, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
Well I had the damn thing for just over a week and nothing I do seems to work. The 'INSTRUCTIONS' may as well be in a foreign language for all the help they are.
I am using Windows XP but when I plug in the usb cable the screen on my MP3 player has a file and a little computer (don't know what this means). This is very frustrating and may as well be an ornament for all the use is it or crushed into little pieces. Please help otherwise I will be taking it back to the shop (Argos) and demanding a refund. |

| | Stephen on January 27, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
Hi all I bought 2 IItronics iMP11 players at christmas 1 for me and 1 for my son I have a problem with either at the moment touch wood, As far as i can see there isnt a firmware upgrade released for this model as yet well not on there web site. The only problem I have is the 99 tracks but if you create a directory in the root directory on the player it runs fine you just have to switch between root and directory. Silly but its a work around until a iMP11 firmware release is posted on there site. |

Hi, i just bought an IItronics mp3 player and i installed the disc and everything but I cant download anything cause I dont know how and the Instuctions are really bad!!!!!!!!!!! Please help !!!!!!!! |
|
| | Rob on January 29, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
HELP!
HOW DO I RECHARGE IT.. I NEVER HAD A MP3 IN MY LIFE.. I PUT IT INTO THE COMPUTER BUT IT KEEPS THE SAME BAR.. =S HELP! |
|
| | Keiran on January 29, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
It is really woeful that it seems no-one is actually reading the posts. Don't get me wrong I thought the instructions were rubbish too.
Rob, this MP3 player will not recharge your battery (it's not an ipod). Change the battery.
So as above, heres some more pointers.
1. This device works with both variable and constant bit rate MP3's, Audiograbber with a encoder such as 'lame.dll' works fine.
2. If your using windows XP you don't need to install any of the provided software:
a) Rip a CD to MP3
b) Plug in the device (windows should detect it and display it as a drive in 'My Computer')
c) Drag/Copy-paste the tracks onto the device
d) Most importantly, you can only have one level of folders, even if you don't want to access data in the other folders.
3. Music downloaded from itunes is generally ACC format not MP3, you will have to convert it to MP3 if you want to use it on this device.
Again the software and instuctions are poor, but it's not difficult. |

| | Andy on January 30, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
Thanks keiran
I tried all that last nite and it does work. Only now i try and copy tracks over from wm9 to my player and it says an error has occured and can not copy, i think i might have messed up somewhere, but i'll keep trying.
Your advice has helped alot thankyou. |

| | stuart on February 9, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
hi all,
hav had no problems with this mp3 player until today. replaced the headphones with some new sony ones and it worked fine for a few weeks until today, when sound would only come out of the left earphone. sound would come form both earphones if i pushed the jack to one side of the plug on the player, but that would mean i would have to hold the earphone jack in position, which is stupid as i didnt have to before. i hav this problem with many sets of earphones, so it is the player, not the earphones. does anyone else have this problem? |
|
| | callum on February 9, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
You can't download from itunes for this mp3 player because the AAC tracks are copy protected and you can't convert copy protected tracks. |
|
| | Keiran on February 12, 2006 | RE: IItronics IMP11
I've had a few questions recently, so I thought I'd post them up incase they help anyone else.
Q: Once I'm in music mode I can't get back to the original menu without turning it off and plugging it into a usb port.. is there another way to get back to the menu? My reason is because I want to record voice after listening to music and there is not always a cpu handy to reset the player!
A: Found this out by accident, but just hold down the select function of the jog dial (how you access the menus to begin with).
Q: I sometimes get file error when dragging files into the player box and music wont play. Some albums work and some dont!?
A: I've not had this problem, but I would suggest the following.
1. Build the track/folder selection you want adding to the device on your HDD (make sure you have no folders within folders!).
2. Check the size (right-click, properties) does not exceed the size of your device.
3. Then drag drop onto the device.
Hope this helps.
