Philips has introduced great portable audio player called HDDD060. But there is small limitation. Users of this hardware must use Philips' Digital Media Manager to upload their music to the player. And the worst thing is, that this software has lot of disadvantages. I'm not gonna describe them, becaus those of you, who own HDD060 do know, and this page is dedicated to owners of HDD060. So I has decided to create some software for the player on my own and to share it with everybody, who hates DMM as I do.

I wanted to spend as little effort developing the tool as possible, that's why the tool is very simple. It's command line tool which does not need any startup parameters and any input from user. There are only two requirements:

• use DMM at least once before using DHAT
• start DHAT from your HDD060 using full path to the executabe (Windows Explorer does it automaticaly).

When the DHAT is started, it gets ID3 Tags from all mp3 files stored in HDD060 it was started from and updates the players database.

Known limitations:

• DHAT does not support WMA
• DHAT does not support genre from ID3 Tag (this is to be done)
• Full path of mp3 files in the player must be maximaly 255 characters long
  

The package contains:

• binary of dhat
• id3lib library
• source code
• README.txt
• history.txt
  

I can't promise any improvements (except bug fixing) now, but if you have some question/comment you can send an e-mail to saniel@post.cz
