MP3 sunglasses, MP4 watches, solar-powered MP4 players, MP3 players that work underwater and recording sunglasses with MP4 receivers…it is incredible what China is producing in the world of personal media players these days.
Something that leaves Westerners more bewildered than amazed when they go to use their MP3s and MP4s is the incredible array of formats that electronics makers choose their players to operate in. Recent studies showed that apple users paid for more downloaded music than PC users, this is not surprising when you consider they’re obliged to by the proprietary formats their iPod plays.
Proprietary music file formats are those that have specifications that are copyrighted property rather than being public knowledge. This means communication between electronic devices and certain types of proprietary music files is not smooth or, in some cases cannot happen at all without the aid of a converter, which is where MP3 and MP4 player owners so often get frustrated.
Not all propriety codes can cause the blood to boil, with Windows Media being so prevalent through the industry that WMA and WMV are almost on every system and computer. While Real Media’s RM used to be non-transferable it has now started to appear on more players.
Some more commonly-used proprietary codes by Chinese manufactures include MTV, DMV, MPV, AMV and ASF, although there are a multitude of others. Most players will come with a conversion disc which can be installed onto your computer with a little hunting around. If this doesn’t work you could have more luck with the file conversion program, super (although you might be like me and a need a walk through for that too). There’s bad news and good news for people with players that use the DMV format as there are very few conversion programs on line but there is a screenshot walk through that could potentially be of assistance.
Even if you’ve got conversion software installed you still might not be getting the full experience with your player. There has been a plethora of videos released online and, as a result, more people have been getting interested in putting videos from YouTube (and other video hosting sites) onto their MP4 players but have been unable to as files online tend to be SWF or FLV. Downloading them with programs like Realplayer 11 (it lets you download videos and streaming radio and play them on its player; just don’t expect them to be easily converted for your portable media player) and the firefox add-on download helper is easy but watching them has been more of a chore…especially when you’re on the move.
