Where do I put the .bin file when I'm trying to import?

Nobody knows or what?

Hi Vinh,

Sorry, I haven't replied, I've been testing it myself.
I've tried using Telbook versions 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 but I can't get the .bin file to be read on my MPx player. It either comes up as "no file" or "file error". Are you getting these messages too?

Where did you get your TelBook program? Mine's came from the original cd with the player, but that doesn't even work. :(

I will try to find out some more from mp3 manufacturers and see what I can get from them.

Hi Vinh,

I finally got my telbook working.

What I used was TelBook version 1.0 to do this. The other two versions (1.1 adn 2.0) didn't work.

I added the entry, then press the [save] button.
Then I copied the file directly into the root of the player.
Then from the player, chose "TelBook" menu, press the "menu" button, then chose "import". Then it worked! .

Depending on your player, you will have to try differing version of the TelBook program and also try renaming it to the same file that is produced when u do an 'export' of the telbook from your player. It's worth a try and hope it works.

I have also tried all of the above with my VL-547 and I still can't figure it out. I don't know what my player would name an export file because I can't import anything, therefore I have nothing to export.

It still doesn't detect that I have a TelBook file. Too bad.

Vinh,

I have uploaded Telbook versions 1.1 and 2.0.
Try download them, create an entry, press the [save] button so it creates a .bin file. Then upload it into your player, import from the player's menu and see what happens.

If that doesn't work, then you might have to try renaming it. But that all depends on the error message. So let me know of the error message you're getting.

Telbook 1.1 can be downloaded here.
Telbook 2.0 can be downloaded here.

ytsejam,

The reason why I asked about exporting from your player is that mine's had a sample telbook entry. Ok, it was for the Police in China, (very useful - not), but it let me export it so I knew what the exported file was.

What is the error message you're getting when you try to import the telbook .bin file? I've uploaded versions 1.1 and ver 2.0 as well, give them a go and see if that works on your player.

I have tried all three programs and none seem to work with my VL-547. The error message is "No Tele File" when I try to import.

ytsejam,

That error message you are getting sounds like you need to rename the file so your player can import it.

Try naming your files as either:

TELESAVE.bin or TelBook.bin

See if that works. You will also need to try the different TelBook versions too to create the .bin file to find the right one that your player can read and import.

Try that and let me know if that works or not.

I have now tried all three different programs and renamed the .BIN files in all three programs and I still get 'No Tele File' error message. The different names I used were:

telbook.bin
telesave.bin
tel_save.bin
telsave.bin

I can get this to work on one of my players (it's not a VL-547). Has anyone got this to work on a VL-547 yet? Or for that matter a Visual Land player at all?

I just received an email from Visual Land stating:

Hi,

Unfortunately the telephone function does not work with the player.

ytsejam,

Do you have "Telbook" or "phone book" item in your main menu?

I do in SOME of my players but not all. The one I do have the Telbook or phone book item in the main menu, I can import a telbook file.

Check, if you do have it from ur main menu, then definately, you should be able to do this.

Yes I have the Tel Book option. When I click on it, I get options for:

Browse
Import
Export
Exit

If you have the Tel Book option from your main menu, then YES, you should be able to import a binary telbook file into your player.

It's strange to have the item available on your player, but you can't do anything with it don't you think?

I think Visual Land is just lazy and don't want to help you.

What I'll do later is upload my .bin telbook file on the site and see if you can use that on your player and see if it works.
