with the new update, my music player wont accept any format but mpeg. will i have to reformat ALL of my music?

Hi, no I don't think so, you just need to get a player capable of rendering the music format.

For instance, I'm a bit of an old fart, and I like my "mod" files. After seeing your post, and having just gotten the Froyo upgrade late last week, I suddenly got worried that maybe I wouldn't be able to listen to them...but sure enough, I powered up my mod player and voila, up came Fountainhead.mod... listening to it now.

Ok, next test. I am an old fan of Musical Starstreams (trance/etc)and just booted up the stock music player to start listening to an old (1999) broadcast recorded in MP3. works fine.

So, MP3 is good on stock player, .mod, .s3m .xm, and .it are at the very least handled by DroidSound player, and I expect others deal with the rest.

I don't personally *touch Apple files, so I can't help you there if that's what you're talking about. I would never pollute any of my devices with Apple code or Apple infected files.

As I said, you just need a music player that handles whatever format you're talking about.

best wishes

Another issue I just wanted to bring up that has been quite common is that the droid will not connect to a hidden network even with the proper SSID and Password. The only fix to this so far is to unhide the network. I personally think that should be fixed in droid

how do i "unhide" my network?

But basically duplicated incoming sms messages most of the time. It happens across multiple droid 1 roms. Don't know what causes it and I don't notice any type of pattern

Tried removing 3rd party sms apps and it still happens.

How bout a solution to the droid losing photos forever in the qallery once a power off/reboot is done...

If you are having problems with your my contacts backup. Here is a solution that was offered to me. Go to your contacts on your phone. then menu, accounts, manage accounts, gmail, and sync contacts. if there is a check already in the the sync contacts take it out, and then put it back. Your contacts will be uploaded to your gmail account. After that is done. go into your my contacts backup program, and then go to settings, auto backup, and change the frequency to never. This will eliminate the issues with your my contacts backup by using a more reliable method of backing up your contacts.

Also, if you are having the problems I ran into today. Where your my contacts backup deleted the contacts from your phone, and duplicated them on the my contacts backup web site. here is the fix to get them back on the phone. first go to the web site and delete the extra contacts from there. Second, go to your phone and delete all contacts from your phone. After that is done. go back to the web site, and then to the add/delete contact from phone. Move all contacts to contacts NOT on: (whatever your phone is) Click save. Now go back into add/remove contacts from phone and move them all back to contacts on: (whatever your phone is) click save again. Once it is back to the main window, refresh the page, and all contacts should be set to go back onto the phone again. run the backup from the web site, and all contacts should be restored to your phone. As soon as that is done. I recommend going in and shutting the auto backup feature off. that way you don't run into the same problem again.

The phone went through the new update seemingly without a flaw. UNTIL.
The first issue I had was that the phone shut it self off About a week later and would not come back on. It had been recharged but there was nothing. We finally had to remove the battery for a few seconds and then put it back in and turn it on. It worked. It has done that a few times since then. A friend who has the same phone has also had this happen to hers.
Next issue phone shuts off and comes back on at random times all on it's own.
Biggest issue. when I open the phone. it seems I seldom get the green open button that you have to slide to open... all I get is a blank background screen for bout 5 to 10 seconds before any of the icons come up and if someone is texting me back and forth it is a pain in the butt. I get the text sound but I have to wait several seconds ( sometimes more than 10) just to get the icon to go back to the texting area.
I can't make a phone call or answer one until then either. God forbid I would need to Call 911.
I have antivirus lookout and it hasn't seen any problems. All my apps are downloaded through the marketplace on my phone. So I don't know what the problem is.
Recently, It lost all my ringtones and some of the apps stopped working so I had to remove them an download them again and reinstall. It ended up fouling up a few of my ringtones and making strange glitches in them.
I wish I had the choice not to update. The world is hectic enough without having to take several hours to fix a phone issue caused by an update.
Was there anything GOOD? about the update?
It seems now my only choice is to find out how to back up my contacts and save my voice recorder and notepad files and photos and do a whole phone reset and start over. Who knows when I will have the time for that.

When I connect motorola droid to charger for night at bedside, I cannot user it to answer, or any of the functions (pda) unless I unplug charger miniusb. Also sometime at night it will go to vibrating and will sometime call someone in the c all history and usually get a recorded message that awakens me. weird. Not sure if short in charger or what, but charges up by next morning or when I unplug it during night.
