FMP questionnaire

[Kage]

Hi everyone,

Could I possibly ask a little favour?
I have to get quite a few questionnaires filled out for my FMP (Final Major Project) in college, and could you possibly help by filling in the 11 little, mini, super small questions? I'd appreciate the help very much, and it should help get a better, more widerange of results. I know I can rely on you all, and trust that you'll do the right thing!

I am wanting to come up with the perfect MP3 player you see, and I'm modelling it in 3D Studio Max, followed by a presentation created in Director, giving you a tour of it. The questionnaire is to get the information on what it should be like and the, and the features which should be advertised. At the end, you could also give feedback if you wanted on any more good ideas

I would create a voting poll but would only work for one question. So i'd be best if you listed it with numbers 1 onwards, just saying yes, no and the answer you'd choose Thanks for your time!

Here goes:

1. Are you Male or Female?

.Male
.Female

.Colour screen
.Picture/Video files viewable
.Wide range of sound functions (environments, bass, 3D sound)

.MOD/MIDI playback (Playback home made music/old style console music)

.Use of lights (Glow/large indicators e.g. power, beat finder)
.Music composition software (Make your own music, find notes)

hope this does help you. an idea could be to still allow for CDs to be played whilst still having the files there... its probably not possible to do, maybe have an attatchment (like iPod extras) that will rip CDs or something but doesnt allow them to be burned???

 

[Kage]

Hey kewl. Thanks alot
This is really helping me.

Yeah, I quite like that idea, like for example, it could be a slot based thing below the player and would attach to a cd unit there, and would lift up to allow the cd to be placed in it. It probably would work, and would allow you to access other files too, plus it doesn't have to be possible exactly... just creative and plausable
Very good, thanks

Keep them coming

EDIT: I know it is a bit long, but please, it'd be worth it knowing your helping me
I only need about 20 replies, and I'm sure that you lot can help me with this. It wouldn't take that long either...Come on, please

Okay, thanks for that

Though question 7, you've selected more than 5, but I guess the ones that arent on the list are feedback, so alright Though it'd probably be best just to list them as they are first.
(I plan to have the fake mp3 player have all, and suggestions, though the ones on the list i'd advertise)

Firewire would be good, though I don't fully understand the principal of no battery, as it'd need something to hold the charge, even if it is charged with pc hehe

Flip screen seems to be a popular option, and probably would be kewl.

Thanks for your input Cobra

I HAVE GOT a no battery mp3, it charges in the pc or usb port.

HERE this is my MP3 in as much details as i can see:

MAKE=MPMAN
1GB

Thats it lol, i would show you more if i had my webcam but its not got the drivers installed.

UMM Wait there ill install them, but its a poo picture, brb.

EDIT)
Sorry NO WEBCAM, my mum threw all my wires out, my friend has a digi cam, which is 10x the picture, so ill show you when i go round there which is in about 3hours LOL.

 

[Kage]

Sorry, I meant about this question:

7.What features do you like best that are in existing MP3 players? (answer the 5 most important for you) with the added bits

As for it charging via usb, it will still have a rechargeable battery inside that will be charging as it can't hold power without one. I don't mean AA's or AAA's. I was talking about Lithium Ion or something like that as yours must be non-removable, but is still a battery hehe

 

[IAntDemo]

lol, good thought
