Drive C is now full, and I assumed that when that happened, things would automatically get saved on drive D, which is completely empty. But that's not happening. The computer keeps telling me I'm runing low on space and I should clean up my drive. How do I tell the computer to start saving stuff on drive D? |
In WMP, go under the tab, I think play, or wherever and find the Options menu. When you open that up you should see about 10 tabs or so. Find the one with "RIP" on it and open it. Near the top of that you should see something about "rip music to: c:/My Music" or wherever you're putting it all now. Click the browse button to the right and select a folder on your D:/ Drive. I created a folder called MP3s and just put everything there. I'm at about 11 GB so far and half way through my collection.
If you want to move all the files so that they're all together, go to My Computer, find wherever you've been ripping them to, select all the files, and then on the left, click "move to" (assuming you're on Windows XP) and then select the new folder you created above.
I'm giving these directions from memory, so I'll check to make sure it's right when I get home tonight and update this then.
Good luck.

Thanks for the tips kprrok and Bulsajo. I created a file called "Saved Music" on my "D" drive, deleted them, and I set the Windows Media Player to save all my mp3 files on the new file from now on. I didn't realize that you had to specifically send things to the D file yourself. I guess it makes more sense.
Thanks again for the tips. Now that I need to start looking into getting an mp3 player, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a certain model. I'm looking for an iRiver on which I can save a lot of playlists onto it so I don't have to update it on the computer too often. And of course, the more portable the better, but it doesn't have to be too small. |

| I've got the iRiver H-120 ( 20 gigs) and it's about as thick as a deck of cards, and maybe a cm or two longer than that. Suits my purposes perfectly. Big enough to be hard to lose, but small enough for a pocket or purse. |

I've got the same model as peppermint but with 40 gigs- umm they call it the H-140 surprisingly. Right now it's got 3718 songs on it, although some of those 'songs' are 60+ minutes DJ sets or radio shows.
It's about 3/4 full. |

I'm looking at getting the iRiver H-320, the newer version of the old H-120. I figure that I can buy that and get an external HDD to store all my songs on. Then just transfer over what I want. I can probably get about 2/3 of my music on a 20GB player. Should be enough. From what I've read, the H-320 is a very solid player and a good value. Some people complain that it's a little hard to use, and, God forbid, you have to read the manual to figure it out.
Go to http://reviews.cnet.com/iRiver_H320_20GB/4505-6490_7-31120667.html and check out their reviews.

I'm holding out for one of these.
FEATURES
• Plays digital music and video files
• Synchronize your media library with Windows
Media�� Player
• Intuitive Windows Mobile��-based Portable Media
Center interface
• 20GB of internal storage
• Store up to 80 hours of video or up to 600 hours
of music*
• Wide 3.5 inch vivid color display
• Supports secure transfers from Windows
Media Player��
• Connect to your home entertainment system
• Built-in speaker
• Store or transfer files of any type
• Rechargeable, replaceable Lithium-ion battery
• Up to 14 hours of battery life (audio)
• Up to 5 hours of battery life (video)
I normally don't get time to watch all the video I download so being able to watch files on the bus or during breaks at work sounds great.
It's out now for $499 in the US. You should be able to get it in Korea (Where i-river are based) for less. Maybe 400,000 won. |

Are you kidding? It'll cost at least 600.000 here. The non-video H320 is running at 370.000 right now. For that thing, it'll be much more. Korean brands aren't any cheaper here than in the US. Don't believe the hype.

You're probably right KPRROK...(your predictions usually are  )...But, like I said, I'm holding out for the price drop on this baby after about 9 months. If it's not the current model you can get a good deal at Yongsan. |

Just cut and paste or drag and drop some files onto your D drive. |

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've finished ripping all the CDs I have with me in Korea, and it ended up filling up just under 10GB, although the actual file with the music in it is less than 7. So I guess one of the 20GB machines will do me just fine. I'll start shopping around this weekend. I can't wait to finally have all my music in one little box with playlists and all. That sounds awesome.
Now I gotta start thinking of digitizing my photos. I'd like to save some pics I have as JPEG images, so they will be the same as the pics I take with my digital camera (after I buy it, don't have it yet). If I got a hold of a scanner, what kind of software would I need to do that?

The scanner will have it's own software so you don't have to worry about that aspect. For batch file renaming and image viewing, get Irfanviewer or ACDsee. |

or... if you have Office XP, Microsoft Office Picture Manager can do this for you too and is actually surprisingly functional. I don't use Irfanviewer at all now.
Re the scanner software, it may well be in Korean. If so, you can simply visit the scanner maker's site and download the same software in English if you want to. It may well let you set the language when you run the setup though. |
