Hey I recently bought a samsung yp-z5 and I set the rip settings to mp3 thinking it would be smaller than wma but i found out by looking at my player once i had music on it it said that there were 350-up (sorry i dont remember) songs and only about 170 mb left. On the easy start thing it says that you can get about 600 wma songs on there so i want to change ALL the songs on my player to wma (most songs are from limewire not a CD therefore didnt need to be ripped) So how do I get alll the songs on my player to wma?? Need help ASAP. Thanks alot.

Hi. I just saw this for the first time in Canada this weekend.

I suggest strongly that you transcode to vorbis instead of wma. Mp3 to vorbis is the only transcode that works IMO.

The net reviews say it cannot create playlists on the fly but the unit for sale in Canada was specifically marked that on-the-fly playlist creation was possible.

Perhaps just a firmware upgrade?

Can you confirm if the playlist creation is on-the-fly?

PS - To convert to ogg try UniversalFront. It googles. I have 1280 songs encoded from aps files at Q 2.25 for an average bitrate of 99. They sound adequate for portable use, but as always, the listener may want a higher Q setting by preference.

I have tried downsizing mp3 to AAC, mp3, WMA, and Vorbis. All but Vorbis were unlistenable to my ear d/t artifact.

With 1280 files, I still have 130megs left.

Yeah, you can get about 600 songs if you use 64kbps WMA and if they're 3 minute tracks, which doesn't really sound that great.

Are you talking about the 4 gig?

I wasn't speaking of a specific size model, just his version, which says he can get 600 songs with WMA. Generally when I see a claim something like that, the WMA is at 64kbps or at least some value lower than ~128.
