Hi, wonder if anyone has come across these audio players?

http://www.balloonmonkey.co.uk/images/singdevice.png

Just had one delivered as part of a Christmas gift and it has a USB
connector on the side, the PC sees it and loaded drivers for it but I
can't communicate with. Seems a pity not to make use of it so I was
thinking of recording my own audio on it.

Presumably requires bespoke software. Any one any ideas??

Bill,

Sounds like an interesting device, but your link just takes me to an
almost-blank page (a logo and nothing else).

'tis interesting, quite good audio too. The link should show an image
of the device, pic of a monkey, white triangle play button on a red
background. That is about all of the info on it.

Is the web site selling them, but not much detail.

Sounds interesting indeed, especially if it's cheap and is something that
the manufacturer considers a one-time use thing.

If you have a Linux box, plug it in and run 'dmesg' and 'lsusb' on it a
few seconds after you plugged it in. See if the system recognizes it by
some other name or at least get the USB device/manufacturer code that may
help in googling for further info on hacking the device. If it's popular
enough, it's almost a given that someone had already played with it and
posted something on the Net. You just need the hardware information that
the devices sends to the USB host in order to find it.

Homeownershub? You do realise this is usenet? From the quality of your
original reply you'll know what that is.
