#Agptek mp3 player software software
Some software depends on filename sorting order, some depends on what data is in the tags of the file (you'll see discussion of "file mode" vs.
The fast forwarding does seem to speed up, but I have no idea what it might do with, say, a single 10-hour file.īut with one large file you don't have to worry about what convention any particular MP3 player or audiobook app uses to connect the files in correct order during playback. I don't know about fast forwarding through large files-I chapterize my files, or else I'm listening to library mp3 files, which are around an hour long. I never use bookmarks-I just pause and let it shut off, and I don't change to another file-but I tried playing around with the bookmark feature, and it looks like you can manually set 10 bookmarks per file. Are there any other features, useful for audiobooks, that either of these players offer over the G05? I definitely want to have independent bookmarks per file, so if either of these newer players gets rid of that feature it is a showstopper, regardless of what other features they may add.
Does anyone know what all comes with the price increase? I think for the G15, you get more internal memory and (?) bluetooth. The G6 adds about $5 to the price of the G05, the G15 adds about $10. So when you are holding down the fast forward or rewind button on the Agptek player, does the speed accelerate the longer you hold it down? If not, I can imagine holding down that button for an hour to scroll through a large file.Īlso, I see that Agptek now has a newer model G6 payer. “Bookmarks”, and you can delete them with the option “Delete bookmark”.Īnother question: Since I looking at having my audiobooks as one large MP3 file each, this implies some rather large MP3 files. You can find the bookmarks you saved with the option “Go to bookmark” under item Previous bookmark with new bookmark, and then the old one will be replaced by the new. Maximum number of bookmarks supported by each audio file is 10.
It is marked by the stopping time as “hh:mm:ss”.So you can set the stopping time before youĪdd it for continues playing next time conveniently.
#Agptek mp3 player software manual
So far so good in that experiment.īack to my question: Do you manually set bookmarks using the standard Agptek firmware, or are the automatically set for you when you pause playback, change to a different file, power down the device, etc.? The description from the manual below doesn't really say how/when they are set: For audiobooks that come as multiple files, I am converting those into one large MP3 file. I want the ability to set at least one bookmark for each file (in my case, "file" = "complete audiobook"). One feature that I do not understand from their manual, and it's an important feature for me, is bookmarks.
The Agptek G05 looks interesting to me, and is certainly priced inexpensively. But looking forward, it is only a matter of time before my Sansa Clip dies (it's got to be about ten years old!) So I'm looking for my next MP3 player for audiobooks so I'll know the market when the time comes to buy my Clip. So far, I am very impressed with this setup. I am currently experimenting with my old Sansa Clip with Rockbox firmware for listening to audiobooks.
