firstly, if this has already been covered then i am sorry for being a pain in the arse. i have tried to find some info on the mp3 but have been unable to.
I was hoping that someone would be able to tell me if the mp3 is worth getting and how it actually works on the phone?

Been lot of discussion recently. I just bought one and am well pleased with it especially as you can buy it from www.expansys.com for £35.
Suggest you look under accessories forum.
Posted by djwent
couple of questions i can't seem to find the answer to;
1.how quickly does it run down your battery?
2.does it cost anything to use it with your phone once you have bought it?
nice one
Posted by knowhow
it doesn't cost anything to use it.
You downsload the mp3's to a mmc which you insert in to your mp3-player. You connect the player to your phones and the player menus appears in the display. Very simple.

very simple, just like me.
thank you

For £35 i think it was a bargain, it may not be designed for the t68 but it still works great, and my freinds think it rules.
Posted by djwent
i am convinced, i have just ordered one from Expansys for about 38 quid and should get it tomorrow.
how much music can you store on the 32mb standard MMC it comes with then?
Posted by djwent
i had my mp3 delivered yesterday from expansys, ordered it in monday and it arrived yesterday. i am well happy with it and think its top sausage!

About an half an hour @ decent quality.

Can anyone confirm if the player can take a 128 card?

I've owned a Siemens SL45 for over a year (upgraded it to SL45i december last year), and I must say that after using my T68 with the Ericsson Mp3-Player, I'm really dissapointed! The SL45 had MUCH better sound-quality, I've compared both phones for 2 months now, and the sound-quality in the Ericsson is not good. But on the positive side, the battery is a lot better on T68 so the mp3-player can be used for longer intervals without having to be charged.
I just wish the Ericsson mp3-player had the sound-quality of the SL45, but I'll live with it, since the T68 is a better phone anyway!
Just my opinion..!!

Escobar: is it actually THAT much worse than the SL45? Normally it can't be the MP3 PLAYER that is worse, is it the earphones? Or maybe the quality of the songs were different? Is it possible to buy new earphones for it? WOuld that improve it? I had the SL45 too and the quality was wonderful...

I've done lots of testing on this, and the SL45 is better! I have listened to the same songs (the same encoding), with the original headphones, and with optinal ones (Koss SportaPRO, and Sennheiser). I have adapters to use normal headphones with both the Ericsson and the Siemens, and even when using good headphones with the Ericsson, and some cheap ones with the Siemens, the Siemens actually sounds better. The Siemens has a "richer" sound, and better bass and treble in most songs. And that amazes me, since you can't do anything else than put bass and treble on or off in the menues of the Siemens, while you can fine-tune the bass & treble in steps 1-9 on the Ericsson.
I did a little test with the help of two friends. I put the same mp3 (encoded in 192 kbs, straight from an original Cd) on both the Siemens and the Ericsson, and with the help of the adapter, put a pair of Sennheiser on the Siemens first. Then I let my two friends listen to the mp3, without knowing if it was the Siemens or the Ericsson they listened too. I had the bass and treble turnde off. Then I switched to the Ericsson, and let them hear the same song again. I tried to fine-tune the settings on bass and treble as much as possible, before playing it for them. Both my friends prefered the Siemens, and I then changed to different songs (rock, pop and techno), and each time they meant that the Siemens had better sound. This is not a scientific test of course, but I did it to make sure that I'm not biased towards the Siemens.
Siemens must have done something right, and they included the best earphones with the phone, compared to the Ericsson. So to do a comparison without using the same earphones are maybe not right, but most people won't change the included ones, and they might not know what they're missing. So they will probable not complain, since I've heared people praising the Ericsson for it's sound-quality. Which I guess they wouldn't do if they had tried the SL45 or another mp3-player of adequate quality.

I am still undecided weather to buy the radio or the mp3 player. Does anyone have a picture of the player or radio on there t68. It would give me an idea of the size of it.
Thanks in advance
Phil
Posted by Von Space
buy the mp3 player...i've ordered it yesterday evening.....it's really cool....the radio instead is just a little cheaper but it really sucks.....that's of course my opinion.....
Posted by djwent
Get the mp3 player, I have had it for a week now and am very happy with it.
When its attached to the bottom of your phone it is about the same size as the numbered keypad again.
go to expansys.com and get it for 35 quid!
Posted by Linkinpark17UK
Does the MP3 attachment use the T68 display to show stuff like the track number and the track title?

yes
Posted by Charly
Yes it does. And it does tell u how far u have went into the song as well.
Posted by Von Space
cool...i'm really looking forward to receive it.....hope it will get here soon....and than i think i'll also buy an extra mmc card with 64 mb ram....cause 32 isn't that much...especially if you store in it rock or metal songs which are usually 5 or 6 mb big....

the phone displays the name of the file its playing, so if you save the file as the song name it will appear on your phone screen.
quick question to someone, can you access the main menu when using the mp3, i've tried but can't seem to.
Posted by Raptor
No, you can access the menu, or read SMS's you get!
Posted by nsjaaron
Anyway is the player able to read 128mb mmc ?

Long live Win98!!!!

Escobar---> Don't you think that the SL45 has some crap functions with the mp3. When I used mine if you stopped, you had to start the song again and some songs where 'hidden' in the mp3 file and you had to go looking for them....
I dunno, maybe I was doing it all wrong or do you have the same???
Posted by jamojdm
Yep, it uses the T68 display. but i dont know how you turn the keylock on!! or even if you can turn the keylock on. But its great, means i can just drag songs over to it in a few mins instead of recording them onto an MD

The 32 Mb MMC card is too small...
Can I put instead a 64 or preferably a 128Mb MMC card in the Hpm-10 Mp3 Player?
Posted by wapt
Yes, you can. More information can be found by searching.
Posted by bossjohnc
If you get the HPM 10, take my advice and buy two more things...
1) a USB MMC/SD reader (available in many places for about £15)
This makes music transfer much faster, and it will work straight away with new operating systems
2) a 128MB MMC (try www.crucial.com )
Posted by davio
i got even more entertainment out of my HP-10 by buying a 75p stereo jack adapter and some external speakers, perfect for the beach, picnics etc!
It runs fine with my T300 but doesn't look too hot, although I don't care as it was cheap as chips - £27 - and it's tiny and cool and fun
