Really getting the most out of my HPM-10 |

Only this morning have I discovered that MMC cards are not as bad as I thought and the HPM-10 is much better than I thought.
I discovered software (someone mentioned it on Esato) called Diet MP3 which allows you to compress MP3 files - you lose a bit of quality but the sound is still quite impressive coming out of a device as small and sexy as the HPM-10. This morning I put more than 20 songs on my 32MB MMC card and there's still room left - and I'm not even using the highest level of compression.
The trial version of the software limits you to 15 compressions but I found a way around that 
Please don't ask me how I got around the restriction. I am a programmer and only did it for testing purposes and to satisfy my own ego

i think MMC cards must have been much better designed than smartmedia. It seems devices several years old when only 8 or 16 mb cards were available are able tou use 128mb cards, whereas devices designed to use 32 and 64mb smartmedia cards require complex firmware upgrades to use higher capacities. I used to us only smartmedia for my digital camera, but now I have an HPM-10 and a PDA that uses MMC I do think they are probably better.

Do it better: buy a 128 Mb MMC Card and you won't have 2 use this crap. It's not CD like anymore.

I know what you mean. I guess I'll just use this until I get a 128MB card. They're not easy to find in this country so I'm waiting for someone to get it for me from overseas. At the same time, customs are high so I need to get it myself from overseas. 
A friend of mine in the US told me that he got a 256MB card for his HPM-10. That must be amazing. It's not a MMC card but it's the same size and it sure works he says. I'll get that one better than the 128MB card. I hear it's around $169 or so. Pretty reasonable for what you're getting, eh?

Psykotik,
Like Zombie said, it's called Diet MP3 and you can find it at the following URL:

Ok. I understand. I had pretty much luck with my 128 Mb card. I got it from Ebay (103 €/$). Customs sucks.  Poor guy! I feel with you.
Are'nt you able to order something from another country (US/Germany  / UK...) and pay by credit card? I could buy something in the US, if I would like 2.

I can and do order things by credit card but I don't like to order anything bigger than some books or CDs if they are coming into the country unattended. It's usually not wise to have anything bigger than that come into the country unaccompanied. What I usually do is get things myself when I'm travelling or I ask someone to bring them for me if they are travelling...
It really does suck but I travel a lot so that's OK.
