Tevion Mp3 player from Aldi

I'm usually a forum lurker, but I thought I'd break cover here...

General folder operations from what I've worked out...

Create the folder structure when you copy tracks to the player (i.e. simply use Windows Explorer is the easiest way). You can do this all at the top level; for info, there are always two other folders created automatically at this level for LINE-IN recordings and VOICE recordings respectively. These will only show up in the navigation menu if there are files in them.

To navigate around...

1. Press the "Menu" button
2. Cursor left one position - to "Navigation" - and select

You're now viewing the directory (folder) tree you just created... a mini "Windows Explorer" window, if you like. Controls (all using the "menu" button):

• Move left and hold - move up one level/folder/directory
• Move right and hold - move down one level
• Move left - previous file (track)/folder
• Move right -next file (track)/folder

So you basically move left and hold to go up a directory, then move left and/or right to select the target directory, then move right and hold to move into that directory, then move left and/or right to select a file (track), then push play (twice - once to select, once to start playing) and you're away. Sounds clumsy, but it's relatively quick once you get the hang of it.

It seems to bouncs a bit if you're going down the tree (i.e. push and hold right and you'll go down multiple levels quickly), so I'm keeping my structure fairly flat - sorted by album at the top level, not nested by artist/album or genre/artist/album or anything complicated.

Now, I'm off to explore the other bit that's totally missing from the manual: CODECs and line in recording... wish me luck.

The Aldi player we got in the recent offer went back after a week:
it kept turning itself off.

Most of the time you could persuade it to keep playing by "locking" it, but even that didn't cure it completely..
