A couple quick Mintpad questions

Punslayer · #1 11-05-2009, 06:35 PM

I've got a pair of Mintpads coming, but I also have a pair questions that I haven't been able to find answers to. I know there are a few Mintpad owners around here and would appreciate if anyone could help.

Most importantly, does it display Japanese characters correctly? One of them is for my wife and a fair amount of her music has Japanese titles so it would be kind of a bummer if they didn't work on the Mintpad.

Secondly, does the Mintpad require a specific folder structure for the MicroSD card or can I organize it however I like? Not really a big issue, but still it would be nice if I could.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

Dunno about Japanese characters.

When you 'initialize' a micro SD card for the mintpad, it creates folders for specific objects, I.E. a MUSIC folder, a VIDEO folder, etc. Within those folders, you can drag in music however you like. When you browse music, it will be in the folder structure you've laid out.

So if I had a card that was already formatted by, say a PSP, would the Mintpad recognize the content on it?

Thanks for the help, I'll probably have to wait 'til they get here to find out everything, but they still have a ways to come. By the way, have you used the Mintpad much as a media player? That will be my primary use for it, but nobody seems to talk about that aspect much.

I got 2 Mindpads. It can display Japanese (and Korea, Chinese...also). You can put everything on your card as you like, and the library can recognize all your file. So just organize them in your way.

Excellent! Thanks for that info. I'm really looking forward to these little guys.
