Portable (PSP) with FeedDemon
03/28/2005 06:26 PM
Last week I picked up a new PlayStation Portable
(PSP) in the hopes that I could use FeedDemon to download
podcasts and other audio files to it. Turns out it's possible, but it
wasn't as straightforward as I would've liked.
In my case, I decided to use the PSP's USB connection to copy
downloaded audio directly to the PSP's memory stick. Just in case
other readers are struggling with this, here's how to do it:
- Select "USB Connection" in your PSP's settings and enable the USB
mode - this must be done in order for the PSP's
memory stick to be mapped to a Windows drive letter
- If you haven't done so already, create a folder on the mapped
drive named
PSP, then create a subfolder of that named
Music
- Open FeedDemon's FeedStation utility, then click the Options toolbutton and
switch to the Podcasting tab
- Place a checkmark in "This Folder" to copy downloaded podcasts to
a local folder, then enter the path to your PSP's music folder (in my
case, this is
I:\PSP\Music)
- Click OK to save your settings
The next step is to simply use
FeedDemon to download your favorite podcasts, then let FeedStation
take care of automatically copying them to your PSP.
Note: My PSP came with a feeble 32MB memory stick,
which is far too small for storing audio. So if you plan to use your
PSP to listen to podcasts, make sure to invest in a much larger memory
stick!

Panasonic introduced a few portable audio players yesterday that we
forgot to mention (although they leaked way back in October), in
the "D-snap Audio" line. We'll start with the "SV-SD100V" and
"SV-SD90" square-shaped players with SD card slot (and only an SD card
slot). They also have a mirrored organic EL display, and compatibility
with MP3, WMA and AAC. In fact, the SV-SD100V throws in an FM tuner
and voice recorder.
Also announced were the "SV-MP720V" and "SV-MP730V." Their
interesting "two block" design actually won Panasonic a
design award. The two units vary only in capacity, color
variations and price. Both are MP3 and WMA compatible and have an FM
tuner/voice recorder you probably won't ever use. A sort of
disappointing 10-hour battery life on these.

I'm so glad we invented Canada. The CBC's new
Arts section has a great short feature on the history of digital
music, from the first transistor radios [pictured] to the latest in
tiny white music bricks. It's even worse than I am about the iPod,
though, so don't expect a surprise ending. Writer Matthew McKinnon
does float an interesting idea, though: if music hadn't broken free of
the 'one family, one radio' format, we might not have the endless
variety of music we have today.

08/02/2004 10:25 AM
So I almost missed this
catch on DAPreview (because there was no pretty picture and I can
barely decipher), but apparently Archos is coming out with a new
version of their often- and sadly-overlooked Gmini hard disk player,
now called the Gmini 400. The original Gmini [pictured] was a solid
device, but had only a black-and-white screen - something that just
didn't quite cut the mustard for many people who would have otherwise
purchased it as a photo-storing device. Fortunately, it looks like the
new model will have a color screen (a nice 262k color one, too), as
well as do all the other good stuff like play video, MP3s, record its
FM stereo, and of course, copy images from Compact Flash cards to its
internal 20GB hard drive.
And at around $480 (probably less when/if it hits the United
States), it's not a horrible price, either. I expect good
things from this one - it fixes all the failings of the first Gmini by
a yard.

dynium, a plug-in for RTAS, Audio Unit and VST-compatible audio
software designed for compression and dynamics processing. It uses an
"I/O Map" visual interface that helps audio pros optimize and direct
their efforts, rather than relying on more common transfer curves and
displays. Neodynium costs US$159 (and is available for $139 for a
limited time). It works with Digidesign Pro Tools, Emagic Logic and
other software. System requirements call for a G3 or faster with Mac
OS X v10.2 or newer and a compatible host application.

Laptop Magazine scoops
themselves with their review of the Archos AV420, the $550 portable
media player with a 20GB hard drive and the ability to function as a
relatively full-featured PVR. They pretty much love it, noting that
the 3.5-inch 262k-color screen is very "easy to watch." Their only
complaint is the AV420s inability to multitask -- if you're listening
to music, you can't look at pictures, for instance.

Archos has their Gmini400
catalog page online with details about the updated hard disk-based
player with 2.2-inch color LCD screen, although they don't have a
price yet on the 'Buy Now,' so it may still be a few days before you
can have one of your very own. They pretty much answer any questions
you might have about the new unit, though, and I'm still on point
saying this one looks like a winner. Sure, a 2-inch screen isn't
anything to write home about, but a 20GB hard disk that can read four
different types of flash memory cards (with adapter), a built-in file
browser that lets you create and delete folders and move files around,
the ability to watch movies - all of this in something that can
actually fit in your pocket... Let's just say that for photographers
and people like their gear actually portable, this could be the Gmini
that finally breaks through.
Assuming, of course, that Archos takes that godawful song off of
the website. Turn down your speakers. (Thanks, Tim!)

I waffle
daily between wanting gadgets that Just Work right out of the box,
even at the expense of functionality (Apple products, for instance)
and open platforms that might be a little rough around the edges, but
can be tossed out to the development community who will almost
certainly extend the worth of my purchase many times over. Since it
seems that most companies would rather produce the former without the
extra polish that it takes to justify a closed approach, I'm started
to get back on the open platform bandwagon, simply because I've seen
nothing but wasted oppotunity over the last couple of years, with
locked platforms and crippled functionality (including, yes, the
iPod).
So, rah rah. Neither of the two Linux-based devices du jour
are really optimal for me (no keyboards), but both the Nokia 770 the Archos PMA400 have a lot of
promise, and Archos has just released an SDK for their Linux/TrollTech
environment, so go out there and make some cool stuff.

CNet has reviewed the Archos Gmini400, confirming my
suspicions that it is indeed scientifically awesome. Sure it has some
downsides, like a less-than-intuitive interface and no ability to
multitask, but a 20GB player the size of the iPod with the ability to
play back video and an integrated CompactFlash slot? What's not
to love?
Okay, maybe the sort of crappy battery is not to love, but I kind
suspect that CNet flubbed the numbers when they said 10 hours of video
and 5 hours of audio playback. I'm hoping they meant 10 and 15.
And for once the video is worth watching, if only to watch James Kim
spin it around in his hands. (Thanks, Old!)

Gah, Archos, I'm
sorry! I keep almost missing big stories about your new Gmini 400, a
hard disk-based player that I'm actually pretty excited about. This
time it was pretty important, too: the first images I've seen of the
new device, which looks nothing like its predecessor (and that's good,
really). The new version can play video, too, which is nice, but it
does make the Gmini 400 perilously close to all those PMPs and PMCs
that are coming out from every other company. The saving grace? The
Gmini has a 2.2-inch LCD screen. Some might call that "small," but I
call that "made for my pocket."

Could it be that Archos is going to release some
products that aren't ugly? We're already pretty big fans of the work
they do, but it's been hard to press the recommendations to people who
flinch at their knobby designs. These three upcoming products in this
roundup, however, look slick—and they have a lot of function.
The Archos AV402 [left] is a case update to the AV400 series, which is
one of the (if not the) best portable video players around.
GenerationMP3 is reporting it's on sale in the US already, but that's
not the case (the 400 series certainly is, but not the AV402).
The AV700 is Archos's first move into the large-format PVP space,
with a 7-inch screen and a 60GB hard drive. Archos will be adding
satellite and DVB tuners in a future model that will ship later in the
year. Lastly, the Gmini XS 100 is a 20GB player with a color screen
and the typical Archos 'do anything' philosophy, so it'll be able to
handle video and audio in a variety of flavors just fine.
Archos of return with the AV700 and Gmini XS 100!
