A Look At The Aimoonsa MP3 Player 

Glad it was helpful!

A good price! Unopened too, wow!

@@JsnHu sorry to hear that. Mine is still working.

@@dayanidhi9391 I don't have a Mac but I don't see why not. The player takes the microSD type cards, so you just need a method of copying MP3 files to the card.

@@stuzzy20091234 Thanks Steve, I appreciate you getting back to me.

@daphne4407 thanks 👍, no it doesn't seem to support playlists even though playlist files are copied to the microSD card. You can only play all, play artist or play album. Hope this helps.

Hi @Nether_Bees I think the track order is taken from the file name. If your tracks have filenames that start 01, 02, 03 etc. I believe they will be played in that order. I use software that enables me to rename files when the music files are copied across from my hard drive to the micro USB card. My files are stored like this Playlist name > files > artist name > album name > disk number > songs each starting with the track number. So 04 Sin After Sin appears before 07 Stay. The software I use is Foobar2000 and I use a component called One Way Synch to copy the files and in this I have this command files\%artist%\%album%\%discnumber%\%tracknumber% %title%.$ext(%_path%) which includes tracknumber as you can see. Hope this helps!

@stuzzy20091234 ah, alright thank you! i'll take a look at that then. the way i've been doing it is just setting the track number by the 'track number' feature of the file but it seems the mp3 doesnt pick that up. never thought to adjust the file name! i'll try it out n see if it works for me

@torchmark66 thanks. That's a great question and highlights a limitation I've found. No, I just see the song title too. I haven't discovered a way to see the artist or album context. You can only use the back button.

@@stuzzy20091234 Thanks for the reply, Steve. I've been experimenting with various tags on tracks to see if anything changes. No luck yet, but if I discover something new, I'll post.

@bumblebee.8 the thanks for the query, you have to use an antenna and I assume that means using wired earphones. It has 3 radio “bans”: normal, Japan and Europe. No idea what they mean. It has a scanning option or you can change the station number manually in small increments forwards and backwards. 6 stations are automatically memorized after scanning but not all of them gave me a station signal I could listen to, 2 were just static. Seems to offer FM only scanning from 86 to 105 MHZ. Signal changes as you move around, so best used when stationary.

@@stuzzy20091234 Thank you, O ordered one and will see how it is soon enough. I'm in Oz.

@kingaguero8633 thanks, in my test I got about 20 hours with a new unit.

@yearginclarke you ought to be able to find the type of USB (USB A to USB C) adapter on places like Amazon. I found this for example: www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Charger-Charge-2-Port-Nintendo/dp/B08558BTD2/ref=dealz_this_d_sccl_4_2/259-0112984-6929343?pd_rd_w=clrSd&content-id=amzn1.sym.592013c3-8b93-4a75-990d-2c3f3f7a8947&pf_rd_p=592013c3-8b93-4a75-990d-2c3f3f7a8947&pf_rd_r=J5MRK763DDQQNRQSEJPD&pd_rd_wg=04yqH&pd_rd_r=38f510b4-54aa-4b7d-94c0-b95cd2240557&pd_rd_i=B08558BTD2&th=1

@@stuzzy20091234 Thanks for replying. My YT comment notifications got turned off for some reason without me knowing, and I just now came back to see if you had replied!

@EBC-Bro thanks for your comment. Take a look at my video on this here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xXPWFvrsd8I.htmlsi=RpIq9z9k0SDl6PQM

Hi Sandy @buckley1945 thanks for the sub 😀. Hope I can help. From music menu select play mode. Choose shuffle. It should display a tick by the side of it. It will return to the music menu after you choose the shuffle option. If you want to hear all songs shuffled choose All Songs from the menu. If you only want to shuffle songs by an Artist then choose the Artists from the menu and then pick an Artist. Or if you only want to shuffle all songs on an album choose Albums and then choose an album title. What I have noticed is that the shuffle function shuffles the list of songs again each time it moves on. This means theoretically you can end up hearing a song you just listened to again. This didn’t happen to me but it did play the same song multiple times after a random number of other songs. It’s a bit weird, I thought shuffle would play songs in a random order but not play the same song more than once until all songs in the list had been played. It doesn’t work like this though. I hope I’ve answered your question but please ask me to clarify anything if it’s not clear.

I would contact the manufacturer and you may be sent a replacement. The battery has a limit in terms of power recycles. The only reset I can see requires the unit to be on.

@@stuzzy20091234 Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me, I appreciate it!

Same thing happened to me. I recharged it for 24 hrs and still no sign of life. I pressed the buttons on either side at the same time for a while not expecting anything to happen, when all of a sudden it went on again!

@@jamestkirk3630 the instruction booklet says a 5Volt 1Amp USB adapter. That’s all I can tell you

@@stuzzy20091234 thank you for the reply

Hi @ariellabarradas4546 great question! I haven't tried this but I found a Component you can install that allows you to play songs from Spotify. The Component information is available here: www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_spotify

@user-pm6gj3tf3x you can copy files from the folder where your iTunes library is to an external drive - you can find the folder in your iTunes settings. The default file type when you purchase from the iTunes store is ACC and this has DRM (anti-copying technology). I use software from Aimersoft.com to remove DRM and convert these files to MP3. I also changed the default CD ripping file type in iTunes to MP3. If you want CD quality audio from MP3 files, the recommended bit rate is 192kbps instead of the default 128kbps. I mainly use 128kbps however, because with my audio equipment I can't really tell the difference (I listen mainly using earpods or headphones). Once you have the files on an external drive and have converted all the ACC files to MP3 you're good to go and have a portable music library that you can manage with different music library software. Hope this helps?

@rajberisings I use Foobar2000 software with a third party component called One Way Synch to transfer my files to the TF card. The files transfer into a separate folder for each artist and within that a separate folder for each album. I don't think the folders matter too much though, what does matter is that the MP3 has metadata that describes the file. I add missing metadata using Foobar2000 but when CD ripping the software looks on the internet to add metadata automatically. You may need to add metadata manually before you transfer the files to the TF card. You can also do this in Windows Explorer if you're on PC and there is probably an equivalent on Mac, depending on what you use.

Hi @MrBushLife I haven't timed it precisely but to give you a very rough estimate I'd say I left it about 4 hours and it was fully charged by the time I picked it up again.

Hi @jonolmer I’ll try a proper continuous test of this over the next day or so. For me so far I’ve been happy that it lasts several days of intermittent use. I wonder whether using Bluetooth reduces battery life but don’t have any data on that yet.

@@stuzzy20091234 I have already brought it but I am going on a trip where I won't have internet or electricity for a week. It would be amazing if you could do that test for me so I know how long it will last while I'm there. Thank you

​@@JonoImerin my continuous test with wired earphones I got approx 20 hours of use. I didn't use the screen.

@@stuzzy20091234 that's great, thank you so much for doing that for me!

On the TF card (MicroSD) I have a DBROOT folder that I don't touch, I leave that one as is. At the same level, I have another folder called New Stuff then a subfolder called Files and then I have folders for band names and within those folders for albums and in those are the song files. I use software called Foobar2000 which has a component called One Way Synch that copies the files for me. I called the folder New Stuff because it just has music from 2022 and 2023. I don't know what's going on with yours but you could do a format and factory reset maybe? You could try it with a new blank card as a last resort. All the best sorting it out my friend.

@RainbowTwister I don't know, is it possible that the file isn't an MP3 or wma type?

@itzhypernop5802 I don't know but is it possible that the music you have transferred aren't MP3 or wma files?

You might have to stick with a wired connection for reliability. I have hit and miss success with Bluetooth. It works well with one of my speakers but doesn’t connect at all with another and when I try to use Bluetooth earbuds I get one connected but no sound in the other.

@Jeffrey-oi9fn I've experienced something similar recently when using some Bluetooth sports earphones, the music would cut in and out when I had the MP3 player in my pocket. Bringing the MP3 player closer to the Bluetooth transmitter on the earphones worked. Not a great solution but maybe indicates you could try putting the MP3 player in a higher shirt pocket so it is closer to the source of transmission? (Or try different head/earphones).

@@stuzzy20091234 Hey I really appreciated the response. Funnily the tracks do actually have a number in front of them but it's still unorganised🤷 I will definitely look at that software. Have a great Patrick's day weekend and many thanks from Ireland🇮🇪

@@aidenoleary7406 Really? Weird! I'm planning more videos on using Foobar2000 and will show how I use it to copy my music to the SD card.

@@stuzzy20091234 Good stuff! I'll be watching! Thanks again

I found favourites are saved and still exist after turning the device on and off. I save a favourite by this method: when playing a song I open the menu (3 lines) and choose Add to playlist. The heart that was just an outline is now filled in a red colour. I turn device off and on. From the default screen open the menu and choose favourites and the track is there. It's odd that when playing the track it's referred to as playlist but from the menu it's called favourites. Hope this helps?

Hi there, it has an EQ feature based on genres of music but you can't set up your own. Headphones will work fine.

@@stuzzy20091234 Thx for the info, much appreciated. 👍👍

Thanks for the question. I have noticed some of my music is in an unknown list as well. I will need to look into it further, I need to check which albums they are and what metadata they have.

@@stuzzy20091234 Thanks Steve. I am wondering if it depends on the file type (it seems like maybe MP3 files show artist and album data when transferred but others do not) but I am still working on troubleshooting it as well!

Over the years I’ve acquired music encoded in different formats and some files just don’t have the metadata I would expect. As an example, I’ve been digitising my vinyl into FLAC files but then I’ve had to add metadata manually in Audacity for artists and albums to be recognised in the Aimoonsa MP3 player. I use Foobar2000 (not iTunes) but it’s easy enough to add metadata to the files in question. I think this is the way to resolve the unknown list.

I just got one and added a ton of music to it . The majority transferred OK but 32 Albums ended up as "Unknown" . I think part of the problem may be in the way I downloaded them ( as part of a discography) But tha😅 just a hunch

@@kenunger1669 adding the metadata manually is a pain but sometimes necessary if you want a manageable collection. 32 albums is not insignificant but is doable.
