Polish lessons+mp3 player

Hi,

(I.ll put this over here as well.

I ve just had look on e bay and could do with some guidance....)

My hifi is being used increasingly for Polish lessons atm.

I am concerend about it being left on "pause" whist moving about the house.

Can one recomemnd a mobile (mp3?) Player before my prized arcam a5 goes belly up.

I know nothing about these players.....

I guess i havedecide if i want cd player (the old course) or security disc (the new one)?

Any ideas here?

If its just for this purpose anty cheap and nasty 1g sub £20 thing will do the job.

 

that probaly is the answer

I'll need to move stuff from cd to security disc or what ever

If its copy write protected i'm stuffed!

 

Can some one give me some short cut guidance on how to get my polish lessons (which should now be in my windows media player) onto mz newlz aquired mp3 player?


cheers

Depends on the model,some plug into the usb socket and show up as a mass storage device,just drag n drop the files onto it,others use a memory card,same thing, but youll need a suitable card reader or if its a realy flash modek it might even use wifi

 

this just plugs into the usb socket

I wold have thought it would be pretty straight forward....like dragging and dropping.

Not so far.

 

Is the device showing up in windoze explorer (right click the start button and click explore).Are the files in the correct format,if not youll neeed something to convert them,i like audacity,but its a bit overkill for converting from wav to mp3,finally theres the dreaded risk of drm's there "maybe" a way of removing them,but i try and avouid anything that has em

 

The wo*łies 20 quiid jobbie is going back today.

It shoiuldn't take a full day to get stuff on it.

....then not work.






See what argos has.




Cheers.

 

Polish lessons

And how are the Polish lessons going? It's a pretty tricky language to learn from scratch. Any particular reasons?

 

Its steady.

I work with 40 Pols ....so Polish is the predominant language spoken.

Its not at all easy.

These early stages of putting to gether a frame work of useable vocabulary are just really slow. Its just beginning to sped up a little now.

Yes its meant tobe the 2nd most difficult language to learn....I can well beleive it.

 

Is it compulsory or just so you don't feel "out of the loop" and feel you sometimes have something to add? Or just plain so they can't gossip about you?

 

Good lord no , not compulsary.

Yes, good way of putting it, I do feel out of the loop. If i wasn't careful there a could be some real issues with feeling quite isolated. When we have break, there could be 20 people in the canteen ....all talking Polish. In fairness one or two make an effort to talk to me...but some have come over with little or no English and as a consequence their friends keep the conversation Polish.
