| | Hy. I bought monday night a 1GB MMC. I got it yesterday in France, Paris. So thanks for the service.
Good price, goog quality, good shipping.
About usage :
First, I had to format the MMC (1,40 hour) otherwise, my SX1 refused to start up with the card loaded.
My usage : Music.
I can put 19 albums of MP3 (between 128 and 192 kb)
Here the way I've put them : E/mp3/artist/album/songs. Finally, same as Itunes.
About playlists. I want One playlist by album. I wanted to do them on my computer, but no way. I had to do them on the phone. Once donne, I've put all the playlist in a folder E/playlists/ In that way, when I brownse the folders with FExplorer, I just brownse the playlist folder to play all my music. It's fast and easy.
Also, I've save the playlists I've done on my computer. In that way, next time I put the same albums, I wont have to build the playlists again. So, It's a hard time at the beginnig, when you put the albums for the first time on the phone. Next time will be easyer.
The other way was to start the MP3 player app. But, with the 1GB mmc and all thoses albums, it takes a very long time to start and show all the music, tracks and playlist. So, If it's an easy solution with a 128 mmc witch can store up to 3 albums, You can forget it with a 1GB mmc and around 20 albums.
What else. The 1GB is not slow or slowing down the phone, as I've read somewere on the web.
Also, Pluged into a PCMCIA card, the max transfert rate I go with the 1GB MMC was 1,20 MB/s (or Mo/s). The average was around 900 KB/s (or Ko/s for french). So, quiet far from the official 2 MB/s
Anyway, I want change the content every day.
Yes, one thing more. This MMC is thick compare to my 128 mo MMC. That mean, It's very limit with my MMC card reader. It's limit, but it's OK. Also, in the Siement SX1, no problem.
Well, In one word, I'm happy of that purchase. The Siement SX1 begin to be a perfect multimedia player.

| | thanks for the feedback labon. Enjoy your mobile music platform!  One note on the Read/Write transfer speed: the PCMCIA is a slower transfer speed than our range of USB2 readers (1-1.2mb per sec) compared to 1.6-2.1mb per sec with USB readers. So the reader is the bottleneck here rather than the memory card. Still, PCMCIA is a big improvement over mobile-supplied USB cable transfer speed (with exception of some windows mobiles), and of course much faster than bluetooth, serial or irDa connection. also, it can be very neat on a laptop as it can stay out of sight in a spare PCMCIA slot all the time, and saves you having to carry a separate USB peripheral.
