Can DDR-63 play any mp3 stream for which I have an URL or only those listed in the radio-frontier DB? Why do they need to be involved?

As far as I know the station has to be on that Frontier list. I found one outside of that list that I liked and requested that it be added and it was. It took a couple of weeks. And yes, there are others I'd like to be able to listen to on the DDR-63 instead of on my computer. I'd love an option where you can just enter the URL and it will save it as a station. If that option already exists I haven't found it.

I only use this to play MP4, never tried on MP3, works great, took it to other country and works perfectly

I returned mine, so I do not have a reference in front of me, but if I recall correctly it can handle at least the major players. The DDR63 is beautifully featured and when it works is wonderful; my problem was it locked up almost daily and required a total reset and restart. I may have had a defective unit, but there was no way I could find to work with a knowledgeable rep to determine whether that was the cause, or was it a basic design flaw.

Unfortunately, this is my biggest gripe about all MP3 players - PROGRAMABILITY! The only way you're going to be able to play the way you want is to build playlists on your computer and then select random play. Or you can use the bookmark feature directly on the Gigabeat and have it randomly play. There is no way to play just an artist or genre folder randomly.

i only use standard cd-r which has about 75 min per disc so i never played mp3's but i would have to say yes because there is a mp3 symbol on the unit, again i don't use that format at all

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

No. You cannot play anything through it. You can only stream the services that come on it. They do occasionally update the software with new services. Recently Spotify was added.

You can play audio files from the SD card but the player will not remember where you were and will not let you create playlists. Not good.

Yes you can, I used it for the same thing. See the link below for compatible Rhasody players: http://www.rhapsody.com/electronics/mp3players

E.Soares Thanks too for the Sylvania web site. Manual was extremely helpful. Had hopes NB530 would playback MP3 music on SD card also on DVD. Doesn't seem as though MP3 format is supported. Thanks again for listing information.

I had the same problem. I know Coby mp3 players play the wma format, but I don't know about any others.

Not directly from say a thumb drive, if that's your question. It can, of course play MP3 files it receives from an attached computer (USB) or other player (CD Toslink) which uncompresses the files. CAUTION: I could NOT ever get the USB interface to work on Vista 64, so I returned the unit. Later bought their UDH01 DAC + HPA but the USB drivers crash my system. Now paperweight.

As long as you know the URL for the MP3 format or the internet radio station, you can play those. You will need to register that URL through the "Lounge" (now called "Pure Connect"). Some of my favorites are the last news bulletin of certain radio stations. Pretty cool!

Only if the AM/FM radio station is streaming online. Many stations do these days.

No, you can not. Despite their claims, you can not listen to the stations of your choice. The stations must provide the proper MP3 format, and many have other formats, if any. This item sits here on my desk, unused and unusable for the purpose I was lead to believe it would fulfill.
