Please log in for more thread options Is it possible to modify an MP3 player (I have one of those stick-shaped mp3 players to play with) so it plays a music track continiously? Or (probably better) possible to get the player to switch on and start playing a music track and then stop? I thought maybe a relay that short circuits the on/off button may be the way to do it. (?)

If you have an S1 mp3 player (look around the internet to find out how to identify them), try http://www.s1mp3.org/en/ for open source firmware replacements. -- Brendan Gillatt www.brendangillatt.co.uk GPG: 0xBACD7433 | |||||||||||||||||||

Oh, sorry, it appears the firmware they provide is just the stuff that comes with them. However, if you're into writing your won there are quite a few spec sheets on that site which may be of some use. -- Brendan Gillatt www.brendangillatt.co.uk GPG: 0xBACD7433 | |||||||||||||||||||
