Pine D'Music MP3 Player

Installation and General Usage

The D’Music connects to your PC via a parallel port connection.  Unfortunately for most people, you must remove your printer cable and plug in the D’Music cable to upload songs to the player.  One end of the  D’Music cable is made to fit into your parallel port (must be in ECP mode) and the other into the D’Music player itself.  The manual does a great job in specifying all the necessary instructions for operating the D’Music player and the D’Music MP3 Manager Program.

On average, the file transfer rate of the D’Music was approximately 0.09MBps through the parallel port, which is generally below average for such a connection.  USB connections, which are becoming more widespread for newer MP3 players on the market, offer more versatility and speed when compared to the lowly parallel connection.

The D’Music player also has the ability to store files of any type, much like that of a floppy disk.  In addition, MP3 files can uploaded from the player to your PC.  The D’Music has a power saving feature that automatically shuts down the player within 60 seconds of its last file transfer.  This feature also goes into effect when a song is stopped for 60 seconds.
