Anything after OSX after 10.5.5… stopped seeing the player.

Anyone know a work around? I have 2 drives/2 OSX versions but don’t want to boot in 1055 every time I want to use this.

Got a Meizu after reading your review among many. I cannot for the life of me to get mine to work. My mac won’t even recognize the cursed thing. I’ve found customer support to be so lacking that it makes me want to rip my hair out, and I’m totally bummed I’m going to have to send back my new gadget.

I’m still looking for an iPod alternative to run on my Linux and Mac computers, but I have to say, this one didn’t cut it.

I agree with you about its nifty features and lots of other things…just mine won’t work.

I bought one with 8GB capacity while I was traveling in China for about 100 bucks. Man, I love it so much that I want to get a second one for my mom. It has everything I want, mp3 player, video player with crystal clear quality, and radio. And for 100 bucks with 8GB, it is a bargain.

I just got a 4GB Meizu. I am very impressed. It takes a while to learn how to use it and the lack of OSX support is not good.

I have one problem: I can not scroll through the pages in a txt file. The instructions read to to touch the next button lightly, but nothing happens.

I’m going to have to digagree when you say the people at anythingbutiod.com are looking for the ‘next closest thing to an ipod’. Many of the players they mention on that site are better than an ipod. They aren’t just looking for a different player other than an ipod because it doesn’t have their logo on it, they are because they know therre are so much other, better players out there.

I own this Player 4 GB Verion. Man, this thing almost destroyed my prejudices against chinese products. Well most time those are cheap rippoffs but not so with this little razorsharp gadget.
Me and a view collegues made a shootout of mp3 players. Connecting the same good headphones listening to various different Mp3Â´s. This beast cleeaarly outperformed the Ipod and several other products in terms of sound quality. Its crispy clear with unbelieveable Bass although with flat settings. Additionally it has so much different sound settings available incl. a 10 Band EQ, Bass bosts, 3D settings, Spatial etc..pp..
The apple fan had those baffled look of blanc astonishment. You know, like a kid that firstly encounters big santa in supermarket.

Call me Meizu fanboy, ok, but i would buy this player again even if the video wouldnt work at all.
It shure has some flaws in firmware, but hey what can i say… i love it with its problems.
Best wishes from ol germany.

Convert videos for Meizu M6 playback using Mac OS X… try this:

1. Organize mencoder binary for your OS X installation (use Google)

2. create shell script, let’s assume you call the file “meizu”: put this text in:

#!/bin/bash
“$1″ -idx -noodml -ofps 20 -vf scale=320:-2,expand=:240:::1,crop=320:240,rotate=1 -ovc lavc -ffourcc XVID -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=384:vmax_b_frames=0:vhq -sws 9 -srate 44100 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128:mode=0 -o “$2″

3. make sure you replace “” from #2 with the real path to your mencoder installation

4. in Terminal, chmod 755 meizu
5. you now can convert any -avi file to meizu playback format using “meizu infile.avi outfile.avi” (that is from the Terminal as well)

have fun!
