Prophet as a MP3 player

[Reef]

Hey people..

I'm a new owner of a Qtek S200, and Im considering using it as my MP3 player instead of my old one..
Im just curious about how much battery is drained by this? How the quallity is? And how fast I can transfer music from my stationary comp to a SD card in the device if I invest in such..?

Thanks a lot..

I use mine as an mp3 player all the time, I even sold my ipod for that. It doesnt use much battery; cant tell you any exact measures but I really didnt notice that it drains tha battery that much, some times I sleep while it is on and wake up that is about 5 hours and the battery bar looses one or two bars (spb plus battery bar)......quality is very good for me, i didnt notice any difference between it and the ipod in normal conditions...how fast u can transfere music, well it is slow for me!! overall tranfering files to this device seems slow, but I can live with it, as I dont transfere files everyday.

Hope that helps

You should transfer your music via MediaPlayer's sync option.

Didn't try, but don't think so. AFAIK speed is limited by PDA/USB hardware and not software. The only way to get faster transfers is to use a SD/USB card reader to connect the SD card directly to the USB port of the PC.
I have one, but I usually don't bother to take the card out of the prophet. Transfers are not lightning-fast, but I can live with this. I am seldom in a hurry to transfer files.
If you want to transfer files from a PC that doesn't have active sync, you can install WM5torage to emulate a USB key.

I use WM2003 & CE2 really speeds up the file transfer, so WM5torage must be having the same effect for WM5 & Mortplayer makes your device an excellent MP3 player (TCPMP will do it for video content),

You can also transfer files over the Wifi(g) network if you have one. It is still slower than using a proper SD card reader though.

Comparison:

SD card reader (USB2) - 480Mbps max (60 megabytes per second)
Wi-fi (g) - 56Mbps max (7 megabytes per second)
Sync cable (USB1.1) - 12Mbps max (1.5 megabytes per seconds)
Wi-fi (b) - 11Mbps max (~1.3 megabytes per second)
Bluetooth - 1Mbps max (~0.1 megabytes per second)
