Linda,

I have one you can have for the cost of postage (it owes me nothing).
I am in the UK - where are you?

I am interested in any and all (I really need 4).  How much are you
each looking to get for them.  My daughters school is setting up a
couple of "college-like" lounges (4) and I have offered my services to
network each area.  While alot of people have issues with them I find
the work great on a wired network. They are perfect for the application
that they will be used in (i.e. a locked room, each with a dedicated
computer - all P3's - as music servers - that only staff can access).
The timing is great because this is an over the summer project.

Yea, I was thinking about putting it on ebay. I just hate dealing with
all the hassle of posting it, if nobody is interested/knows about the 101.

If somebody on here is interested, I can either sell it directly, or
put it on ebay with a link to this yahoo group, so MP101 fans can
snatch it off. (who are already familiar with it.)

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about selling my MP101. Anybody interested?

I have the unit (with screen protector still attached - never took it off)
The remote
The original box with all that came with it


Ever since I got an ipod I don't use the Mp anymore. It's just
collecting dust (not really, it's behind glass in the TV cabinet :p )
and I haven't been using it. Is there someone on here who would enjoy
it more than me? Shoot me an email.

Hi Bob,

Don't be offended by this question: have you performed a
shutdown/reboot after uninstalling the old version?

I had problems with the NG server not working on various PC's in my
house, and now exclusively use Twonky as a server with very good
results.  I realize that's probably not the answer you were looking
for, either, but it's a possible solution to your problem.  The ONLY
thing that NG server is absolutely required for (that I've noticed) is
to upgrade MP101 firmware - but you've indicated that you've already
done this, and I think it's safe to assume that there won't be any
newer MP101 firmware released anytime in the future... :-)

Good luck!

Hi. I have had my MP-101 for a few years and it has worked fine.
Server software is installed on a Windows Media Center computer and it
is on a wired network. Software is up to date as is the firmware.
Somehow the server software seems to have gotten corrupted and all of
a sudden it started asking for a CD Key.I have my original CD, but
there is no CD Key. I tried to uninstall the server software, but I
received an error saying it could not find the uninstall log. So I
deleted the folder and ran a registry cleaner software hoping to rid
all traces of the old install. Now when I try to reinstall the server
software, I get a message about a newer version already installed and
I can't reinstall it. any idea what I can do?

Pandora is apparently available on some devices that appear to be
similar to the MP101 (see
http://www.pandora.com/in-the-home?from_home=1 ). Has anyone found a
way to make it work with the MP101 (or the Linksys WMLS11B, for that
matter - I have both)?

- Trevor

I have a similar problem when I use my my wireless MP101s, but when I
use the ones that are wired it works flawlessly. (I'm actually in the
midst of pulling cable to make them all wired.)

Hi Group-
    So here are my 2 cents: My setup is wireless using a netgear router
and twonkymedia server. The thing that really helped with booting was
setting the MP101 up with a static address and reserving the same on the
router.  It boots successfully almost every time now.

    I had been using an external IDE disk on a USB2.0 interface and often
the MP101 would quit mid-song and time out before moving on to the next
track. This problem was largely eliminated by moving my song collection
to an internal SATA drive. This really cut down on the time-outs. They
still happen if the computer becomes too busy with some task that uses a
lot of I/O but this does not happen very frequently.

    The conclusion I have is that the MP-101 (or maybe the twonkymedia
server) is sensitive to latency on the computer so a fast disk, plenty
of memory and not too many large processes is essential to having the
mp101 run smoothly.

Regards,
Steve

I might add that I've had my MP101 for a few years, now and have been
reasonably happy with it--once I survived the growing pains/learning
curve.  Running on Twonky Music server has been pretty trouble free,
and, of course, I run wired.  I am thinking of replacing it with a
Sony Playstation 3 someday and moving it into a bedroom close to the
wireless router, so you may see me cursing once again, but so far, so
good.

HI all just thought I'd share my experience of the Philips SLA5520
that I sold last week (just 2 weeks old).   I bought it out of idle
curiosity in the sales, I thought it'd be nice to see how wifi music
streaming is supposed to work compared to the MP101.   The wifi side
works flawlesly and the Philips both boots quickly and connects
quickly to the network.   Thats all it has over the MP101.   The
display is small and lacks contrast so I struggled to read it from 6
feet away, while I can read the MP101 from 15 feet away, the sound
quality I don't think is as good as the MP101 and it has none of the
handy dedicated remote buttons for artist, genre, track search etc.
The final nail in the coffin for me was that once you had navigated
the menus to the correct search e.g. artist and want to type the first
letter of the artist's name, you press the letter key and it gives you
a number on the first press and the letter you wanted on the second
press, as you can imagine, when you can't really read the display
unless you walk up to the thing, this is annoying.
Other features it lacks are; any means of adjusting brightness or
contrast on the display and a screen saver mode to switch the display off.
Come back MP101 all is forgiven as long as I use it wired that is.
Cheers
Martin

I get a small window on restart that states "DB files missing. Server
started with fresh DB" and the server won't start. the only fix is to
reinstall but of course after a restart it happens again.

Anyway to get the MP101 to work with Media Player 11?

Here's my latest take on the MP-101 and wireless routers.  I
am a long-time user and occasional contributor to this group. I have
been running a network with 2 ancient PCs, the MP-101, and a Linksys
WRT54g coming off a cable modem. Signal drops and reconnects are the
norm on both PCs. The MP-101 has lived for years in my garage about
75 ft away from the router, and always had good days, bad days and
useless days. I performed the antenna mods that were detailed on
this board and went so far as to add a second antenna cribbed from a
dead MP-101 (another sad story) and high gain antennas on the
router. I've never had stellar router performance from three
different units of 3 brands, even though I live in a rural area with
no other networks nearby.
      Last week I found another old PC curbside, picked it up and
found it fully functional. The ignorant owner even left a 20gig
harddrive intact with all his business files on it! I cleaned it up,
stuck a wireless-g card in it and put it in the attic of the garage
and dropped an ethernet cable down to the MP-101. I now have the
best performance ever from the MP-101 running wired. It still drops
out occasionally, but nearly always reconnects on its own, and plays
for hours at a time. As a bonus, I have internet in my workshop for
the first time, all for an additional cost of under $50. BTW, all 3
PCs are older win98 machines, one of which was upgraded to XP a few
years back.
      To sum up, I would whole heartedly agree that wireles routers
suck, but the MP-101 is MUCH happier running wired, even with the
Netgear server software.

Hello, Has anyone been able to apply firmware update with any other
software then Netgear?????  Thanks Don

Thanks. Actually it doesn't, I tried but the MP101 displayed "LDAAP
server found" but it cannot play music from this server :-(

About LDAAP : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Access_Protocol

Would you have any other solution?

Any help, tip or link is welcome!

Thanks.
