Summary:

Until now, all of T series bought in US & EU were MTP devices, while units bought in the rest of the world were UMS by default. It is now posssible to convert your MTP device to UMS, wich can be used on all operating systems, and not only on WinXP+WMP10 combination.

Thread contains info on the conversion, please read it in full, so you can understand the consequences of such action!

Usual disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if you brick your player!

I converted my MTP EU T20 Pure (no FM) to UMS, and everything works fine

Thanks goes out to guys @ Mistic river who brainstormed the whole thing!

Hope this will be of some interest to you,

Cheers...

I converted my T30 MTP to UMS without problem. Now I can mount the device under Linux and upload files without booting Windows XP.

The modded firmware upgrade is safe for iRiver T20 and T30.

Bumping...

(useful info for owners of the T series)

I just bought a T 30. If I normally use my laptop which uses xp & also has
mp10 on it, is there any advantage to making this change? I found that I can load files just fine through explorer. The only irritating thing was not being able to create a folder in explorer.

Well, it all depends how you look at it

In MTP mode you can freely transfer files (it is easier to use the "Data" folder for all your music, since the "Music" folder doesn't accept oggs, or any other types except mp3 and wma) - both music and data to/from device via explorer.

BTW: You can make folders on your MTP device, but only in the "Music" folder, and only via WMP10 (option in its toolbar).

Drawback of MTP is its usability. It is only available on WinXP Sp1/Sp2 + WMP 10.

If you convert your player, thus making it act as UMS device, you will be able to use it as any other USB drive.

Personally, the feature I missed the most in MTP mode was the free space displaying...

I went UMS, because I use Win2K mostly, and installed XP just for transferring music

In your case, I don't think UMS is necessary due to risk/gain ratio...

Hope I was helpful

Cheers...

Thanks for the reply Scorpio. I kinda figured it wasn't worth it for my purposes. Since I almost aways use XP & that computer has mp10 on it anyway.

Too late for me, I returned mine back in December. Rio Carbon did it right out of the box.

Well I waited for about 2 months, but I did not have any choice.

Got it as a replacement for my broken ifp-895
