firmware update to 1.28 speaks says: "firmware V1.28 enabling you to use your iFP player as a hard drive"

Firmware Upgrade

Once you upgraded to the latest firmware, you WON'T be allowed to use the Music Manager software anymore since it can't detect the player. The advantage however is that you can upload MP3 files from player to computer, and it's more flexible to perform any operations (i.e. copying, renaming files).

Future upgrades

Hi!

If the Music Manager no longer can detect the player, how will I be able to upgrade the firmware to newer versions later on?
