Anyone know how to lock MP3 input?

    I want to test an idea I have that involves distributing multiple MP3 players - with my own audio material. I need to know if it is possible to have access to the MP3 player restricted to only play the audio I wish to upload. In otherwords, if I give away a load of MP3 players I want to be assured those who recieve them cannot use them for any other reason but to listen to the audio I have selected for them. :cool:

    Incredibly unlikely. Why don't you just give away CD's? Much cheaper, you know...

    As above, give out CD's which are much less hassle and expense. Your success shouldn't require a gimmick if the product is worth listening to. You could just physically disable the MP3 player - a bit of solder or something into the USB port.

    I need the end user to be in a position to have access on the move to a few hours of audio, and search a detailed index of in excess of over 100 tracks while on the move. Mp3 player can do this in a compact fashion, I don't think CDs and a CD player can.

    The CD has served us well, thankfully those who helped develop uses for it all those years ago did not think of it as a gimmick, nor did they believe that stuff worth listening to should be confined to the technology of the day - the record palyer.

    Looking ahead, neatly blocking the Mp3's USB port is a possibility, thanks.
