I think I'll keep my iPod. Prefer 10GB instead of 64MB... And the iPod is cheaper!

I dragged files from iTunes to the memory stick in the correct directory (even tried others as well as reformatting the mem stick several times using the hmh-30) but it didn't work. The only files which appeared to show up as tracks were the ones I copied using the analog wire from my ipod which really is a throwback to the non-digital age..

I got my HBM-30 last thursday, copied my MP3 file to the MP3 directory, turned on the HBM-30 press and hold menu until the beeb tehn select MP3 rather than ARTAC playback, HBM-30 then reads the MP3 directory (which needs a small amount of space free in it) and away you go no problem at all.

Are you sure you selected it to read from the MP3 directory maybee the songs you recorded were recorded in a artac format instead and therefore a different directory.

Anyway, what a top bit of kit, the caller ID function is great the clarity is gfeat. I have just sold my P800 and got a t610 and this as it a much better comno ....

I know the p800 is a great phone but only if you use all the functionality, if you want contacts, calander, and MP3 go for the T610 and HBM-30 it is a real winner

Babar,

I too have a mac and PC and I finally got my HBM-30 to work. With my Mac using OS X 10.2.6, I found that the mac was sticking little "._DS Store" or something files all over the directory, and also a copy of MP3's - like if the song was called "song.mp3", it would stick in a "._song.mp3" file as well. If I put the card in an PC running XP, I just deleted all those "._xxxxx" files and the card would work.

Sooo, check your Duo in an XP machine and see if you can find those little files and chuck 'em. For my mac, I have to use Virtual PC to transfer files to the card!

Good luck

PS P800 users can't see call display apparently. Confirmed?
