Music Label Soundwave

[kup]

Thanks Fungal, Tiby and everyone giving me a hand but it is still not working.

I already know how it works and do manage to turn it on but it just doesn't do anything but blink. The only way to confirm if I have a faulty player is by testing it with another Mini SD card that unfortunately I dont have.

Might be best to try another card first - they are pretty cheap now (20 bucks or so) and you can always use the other card for something else.

In any event, I must say I used it only once. With no screen and poor navigation, it is not a very good MP3 player. I like him for the design and concept, rather than to actually use as a player.

I don't listen to music, I only got him for the same reasons as you but I sure hell want it to work!

What SD card brand are you using please? I honestly never had to use a Mini SD card until now so I never owned one before so I am a bit reluctant to buy another but I need to try it.

See if you have a friend/co-worker with a mobile which uses mini-SD cards. I know my old nokia phone as well as many other older phones used a mini SD card. Ask them to upload a song or 2 onto their card and then pop the card into your player to confirm if its a card compatibility issue. It seems no one actually bought Soundwave to listen to music as I also bought him for the novelty value!!

[Tiby]

I use a Sandisk card, which I bought specifically for Soundwave. But I think Fungal's plan is best.

[Tober]

I'm using SanDisc as well with no problems.

I take it you tried playing back the audio files directly from the SD through your PC once you copied the songs/audio across?

The mp3 player in SW is optimised for 128kbps playback so anything fancier may not work. Other audio formats probably won't work either.

Could it be a LINUX problem. LINUX tends not to support USB devices as easily as Mac/PC.

I use a sandisk on mine and it works ok. This may be a stupid question, but is it paused? I can't remember what happens during pausing (because as an MP3 player it is pretty crap of course, I haven't used it except to make sure it works).

Quick translate of instructions:
press "play/pause for 2 seconds. Once power is on play should commence in 2-3 seconds after being turned on
Press play/pause once to pause and again to un-pause. (after 2 mins of pause it will turn itself off).
Blah blah press skip to skip hold to f/fwd.
Blah blah volume up and down.

trouble shooting isn't very helpful.
Are the earphones plugged in properly?
Are they broken?
Is it paused?
Is the volume up?
Check the mini sd card and Mp3s.

This might seem like a strange question, but to those who own the figure... what's the actual figure like? Some part of me would buy it just for the fact it's Soundwave that could happily be placed next to my Classics...

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Figure-wise, I think its pretty sweet. Its the right size for Classics and his exchangeable hands are pretty cool. I really like the "eject button hand." A little awkward to transform with some slightly fragile feeling hips in particular, the articulation is better that G1 Soundwave. Just keep in mind, his only friends are two fat guys Rumble and Frenzy and the new Decepticon "Minidisc" the electronic storer of musics, who has absolutely NO articulation at all.

Here are the photos I took when I got mine. I just realised that none of those photos are all that dynamic. Though I was at work at the time and should have been doing some instead of playing with Transformers
