#291651 - 21/12/2006 19:26 Methode to get the files out of MK1?
PKi stranger Registered: 22/12/2002 Posts: 35 Loc: Poland	Hi there. I think the life of my MK1 HDD goes to it's end. I know the tips from the FAQ to hold an identical file structure on the pc. But this was not possible, because i got the player with many files on it, so i have only backups of the files i added. Is there a programm or script, windows or linux, to get the files out of the player to a directory tree like the playlist tree? Please help me, i don't want to loose all the music _________________________ MK I - 00158

Remember that the Mk1 players do not have ethernet. I don't know if Jemplode does USB connections or not. Anyone know? Anyway, you don't need Jemplode. The most recent versions of plain-old Emplode will allow you to copy files to the PC. Preserving the directory structure might not happen without jemplode, but that's the price you pay for trying to pirate music from the player's previous owner. At least you'll get the songs. And preserving the tag information might have issues, depending on how the player's previous owner handled things. _________________________ Tony Fabris

I think i will first try to copy the old disk to a new one, then try to download the songs and then rebuild the new disk. I will report how it gone. _________________________ MK I - 00158

PKi stranger Registered: 22/12/2002 Posts: 35 Loc: Poland	OK. My problem is gone. The HDD is dead. Nothing to read out. Replaced with a new 80GB now. Lived about 5 years, used mostly in car, even at -20. Now at home i think the drive should live some years, and hope the empeg will live a long time. _________________________ MK I - 00158
