Hi guys!

I was wandering, i have recently bought a Z1010 and im thinking of using it as a MP3 player!
The problem is that the USB cable that comes along with it doesnt transfer at USB speed only serial! So it takes around 10mins to send a standard 5mb Mp3 to the song! Not too fun if you want a few songs!

Now as i understood it there are two paths to take! Either i getmyself a Memorystick Duo hub and trasfer files through that which then should go by real USB speed!
The second alternative is to use Bluetooth (or IR though i prefer BT) to comunicate with the PC and send files! Now my question is what do in need to do this, some kind of BT reciver/sender i belive?
I have firewire also if that is neccesary or an alternative

Ive also upgraded to a 120Mb MSDuo, and im whondering does the MSDuoPro (>120Mb) work with the z1010! Ive heard diffrent anwsers from diffrent directions about this, anyone know for sure?

Thanks alot for anwsers!

From what i know, the Z1010 is only compatible with Duo sticks, not Pro Duo sticks.

For your Bluetooth needs, go to your local pc store and buy a cheap Bluetooth USB dongle. Simple plug and play to use. Its worth noting however, even Bluetooth is a slow connection and can take just as long to transfer large files.

For sending mp3 is bt too slow. As I know and have tried with PDA best way is usb. Try memory card it's faster than bt.

The MSD solution would be better and faster IMHO.
May the power of search be with you
