Dear HDD 100/120 users,

 

I am a recent owner of a Philips™ HDD120 mp3/wma audio jukebox and i am happy of quality of the hardware.

But i have been so disappointed seeing the really poor quality of DMM software !!

 

So I decided to write a small software to replace it : HDDTool was born

 

 

My priorities for the HDDTool were :

- use directly Windows Explorer to transfer audio files between HDD and PC,

- manage directories structure for files as i want on the HDD.

 

Due to database structure (seems to be specific ... if someone has any idea ... ) and limitations of the firmware on the HDD, i found no mean to directly use long file names on the device, even modifying the database structure to increase size of pathname and filename columns

 

So i have chosen an other option : create a conversion process between long and short names on the device :

    to play files on the device as a portable jukebox, files and paths must be stored in database with "Philips HDD compliant" names,

    • but i want to be able to see long names on the device to use directly the device as a mass storage device.

 

 

I also added few functions to manage files directly from HDD.
