Hi All,

I am after some help. I have a 540 and wonder if there is a third party app or a way of playing mp3s I have on the storage card.

Many thanks.

As TomTom have given up providing any tools for software developers, it is vastly harder for them to produce new add-ons.
All I can suggest is that you try all of the three old ones in
THIS LIST and see if any still work.

Has the x40 range dropped the Jukebox application? On the x20 you can put any .mp3 files in a folder 'mp3' on the SD Card and it works just fine.

That was one of the reasons I bought the 520 Music Edition and they also put a £10 iTunes card in the box!

Hi
There is a Media Player available from Mobilnova that support Video and MP3. They are just in the process of releasing a version that will work on the X40 series -at www.mobilnova.com you can download a demo version.
I used it on my old 910, I am just waing for them to generate a 540 version for me.
I hope this will help.

Thanks for that. Their site now says it is compatible with 540 so I might give it a try. It is 30 Euros though... At least you can try the demo first.

I have got this running on the 940 and seems stable, takes a bit of getting used to but it does seem a little slow when you go back to the nav mode from the player screens.
I did get one lockup on the device when the application hit the two minute timer for the demo mode, but having tried it again 4 more times with no such issue - Mike

It's nothing different from how it was on earlier versions. AFAIK TT haven't DELIBERATELY stopped the 3rd party apps from working. It's just chance as to whether their software changes happen to mess up the add-on or not.

The problem is that without an SDK, there's no easy way for developers to work out how to fix them.
