Nokia X6: My experience so far

As I mentioned yesterday, I recently upgraded to the Nokia X6 16GB and as when I reviewed the N900, I’m posting my experiences of just over two weeks with it so far. All from the perspective of being a Linux user of course. I am loving the X6 on the whole. The ‘X’ range is …

Supporting Linux generated M3Us on the Cowon S9.

[Previous posts on this subject] Had a response back from Cowon basically thanking me for the infomation and guide on how to resolve it and that it had been passed on to the relevant developers. If it gets included in a future firmware version, the announcement will say so. Lets hope it happens. Track my …

M3U playlists on Cowon S9 with Linux and Banshee

[Ref 1/Ref 2] I had subsequently discovered that the M3U issue was some sort of combination of needing DOS slashes and line-endings rather than UNIX ones but I couldn’t figure out why no matter how many times I converted into DOS mode it didn’t work. I had an email this morning, pointing to this forum …

M3U support in the Cowon S9

I’ve been having a long discussion with Cowon about the M3U support they’ve added to the S9. Here’s the content of it so far. My comments are in normal text, theirs in italics: Great news to see M3U support added in firmware 2.31b. Naturally I upgraded having requested this feature when I bought the wonderful …

Cowon iAudio S9 with Banshee on Linux (3)

Previously, I’ve blogged about my adventures with the gorgeous Cowon S9 and Banshee/Linux. In the intervening time, I’ve been working towards getting it working with libmtp. While I’ve been doing that, Cowon have released an updated firmware that adds M3U playlist support. This is a real result for Linux users. The S9 doesn’t actually seem …

Cowon iAudio S9 with Banshee on Linux (2)

Yesterday, I posted about the Cowon S9 and mentioned that I had emailed Cowon about adding support for .m3u playlists. In my email I was clear that I exclusively use Linux. Today I had a response telling me that I can create playlists using Windows Media Player. There’s something to be said for a complete …

Cowon iAudio S9 with Banshee on Linux

I just bought a Cowon iAudio S9 music player. It is described as supporting Linux out the box and it does as far as Cowon state – which to say it’s a mass storage device. In fact, it appears to HAL as being a Photo CD and F-Spot gets launched which is fine as it …
