MP3 player on 910

vickyarcher · Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 8:49 pm Post subject:

After more use I am finding the MP3 player to be very unreliable. I am constantly get the "there has been an error during playback" message after the end of the first song, and now more often than not even if I skip to the next track on resume it still comes up with the error requiring each song to be manually skipped when it gets to the end. The only way to relieve this is to reset the system, but I don't want to reset after every stop!
Hopefully Tomtom will come up with a fix in the next software update (and fingers crossed it will be soon!)

I have been looking at my 910 and cradle and don't think either are actually faulty. I think there is a design problem. The excessive bouncing causes contact disconnection intermitently which some how results in resets. If I stabalise the whole assembly I don't get resets.

Just to let you know, there is a firmware update now available for the go 910. Hook it up to tomtom home then login and click check for updates.

You can only download this via tomtom home.
This might cure the mp3 player's problems, I havn't had chance to try this out, let us know,

Hi mrstella

I was same problem in my unit (nothing comes out from external speaker output), but mine began to work when I activate bluetooth.

Hope this will help you too....

Nope... the new update makes no difference to the pausing-mp3-while-reading-route-instructions "feature".

And, now that I've put more mp3s onto my tomtom, I'm now getting problems that some people have mentioned regarding "there was a problem with the audio playback" or whatever it is.

For the life of me I can't seem to make it play "Love is a long road" by Tom Petty and the heartbreakers. And it used to before I put more mp3s on there Sad

Is it just that Tomtom hates Tom Petty? I suppose there's probably one too many toms in that whole mix for it to be comfortable. I think its insecure...
