Disney Mix Stick MP3 player

September 29, 2005

Disney Mix Stick MP3 Player FrontDisney launched their own contender to the Apple iPod MP3 player with an MP3 player of their own called the Disney Mix Stick MP3 Player. Disney Mix Stick MP3 players support both MP3 and WMA and are designed to download music files, copy from CDs, as well as accommodate memory cards, called Mix Clips, that feature pre-recorded music from Walt Disney Records. Disney Mix Sticks have a storage capacity of 128MB (about 60 songs), and use USB 2.0 for connectivity. The Disney MP3 players also feature an SD/MMC card slot for as much as 1GB of storage.

"Digital music is exploding and is ready to take off with kids," Chris Heatherly, Disney Electronics vice president, said in a statement. "The Disney Mix Stick-Mix Clips combination is the perfect way for kids to get started with digital music because it's easier to use than players that can only be used with a PC, and it is just as capable."

The Mix Clip memory cards carry full-length albums from Walt Disney Records and since they are standard SD/MMC cards, they are compatible with computers, cellular phones and other devices. The MP3 players are scheduled to ship in mid-October to major retailers and are expected to sell for around $49. The Mix Clips will be offered separately costing about the same as CDs. Here's the rear of the unit featuring Tinker Bell:

  1. mark curry :

    I first saw the mix stick on disney channel as Raven demonstrated,and I think the price is more accomidating for parents with kids who want to experience the new mp3 player rave. With characters like pooh,tinkerbell and other girl characters will really grab the attention of teen females. I think it will do great

    I got the "Forever A Princess" Design at my local Limited too store. Sence they are a little high priced I got my Mix sick for 60$. I got Mix Clip but i don't know how to download music. My mom has to ask my friends in North Carolina.


  1. Rose :

    It took a while to figure out but to download music to the mixstick you plug in the stick to the usb port and open the drive under my computer. It should say removable disk. Open the folder that contains the music downloads as well so there are 2 screens on your desktop. Drag the songs from your music file to the removable disc page. Once your selections are complete "select all" so all music is lit up and then go to file and "send to" then choose the drive your mixstick is in.(my computer was drive F)


  1. Ben :

    The Mix clips are standard 32meg flash cards preloaded with WMA files.
    These are not SD and the content is not protected, you can easily copy them to your PC for backup and put aything else you want on the clip.

  1. DJM :

    For the benefit of other confused Mac users, let me inform you that neither of the two Mix Sticks that I purchased fit adequately into any of FOUR different Macs that I tried them in. The eMac that I own was obviously not able to accomodate the long shape of the units as it has a horizontal space that effectively blocked insertion of the USB plug. The iMacs that I tried appeared to accomodate the units and even charged, however, the disks did not appear as they should on the desktop.

    In writing to Disney's customer support staff, the response indicated that the information was "not available." (Thanks a lot!)

    My work IT person tried it in his high end Mac and it worked fine. He then had me try a USB extension cord when he heard about my experiences with the units. Voila! The cord allowed for a successful fit on all of the Mac machines!

    Apparently, the problem was that the units did not plug in fully and for that reason did not show up on the desktop.

    I then had the problem that the songs that I copied straight from CDs to the units would not play. Duh! The file types on the CDs were aiff format! Make sure that you are copying MP3 files to ensure that they will play! You can do this by downloading from your iTunes Library.

    (You don't have to open the settings.dat folder. You can ignor it. Just drag the MP3 icons into the No Name drive.)

    Make sure that you drag the No Name drive into the trash before you unplug the unit so that you don't damage the unit or lose your data.

    I complained mightily to Disney for their appalling lack of customer service.

    Good Luck!

    The lack of customer support is pathetic ...

    Hi everyone!! My daughter has the Tinkerbell Mix Stick and she loves it!! I bought a 1 giga byte SD memory card for it so she could download even more songs. My computer shows the Mix Stick as drive F, and the memory card as drive G. The extra songs did down load to the memory card, but the Mix Stick player will only play the songs downloaded to the player itself (drive F). Can anyone tell me why it won't play the songs from the memory card? We appreciate any help.

    To delete songs from the mix stick just open the my computer folder when you plug it into the computer and click the removable disk and it should show you what is on it. Then from there you pick which songs to delete.

  1. gracie :

    i need help downloading music onto my daugher's mix stick. can you please send me step by step instructions? thanks.


  1. Bev :

    Hi,
    I think I have fixed the problem of the Disney mix stick not being recognized by thecomputer, or Win Media Player.
    I had the same problem for about 8 months now and today I thought I would give it another chance and what I did worked.
    First, I put the mix stick into my USB port
    Then I went to c:\programs\Disney\Mix stick and there was a file called stupdaterapp, Disney Mix Stick Firmware Download Disney, I doubled clicked that and it started downloading, it was the same ver. firmware I already had but I clicked ok anyway, then when it asks you if you want to Format click yes.
    When it finished I went to windows explore and the disney mix stick would let me drag and drop new music files on it and when I took it out, after ejecting it, the mix stick worked, it plays music again, I thanked God, I was about ready to just throw it away because it would not work at all it just flashed that light it has on it, and my computer did not recognize it at all, but after this it works and my grandaughter was so happy !
    Please, if this works pass this fix on to everyone, there are alot of people out there with the same problem and maybe this will help them, there is no way I could go to every web site and post this.
    Good Luck & God Bless !
    P.S. Let me know if this helped anyone! my e-mail address is bevstutts@charter.net.


  1. deja :

  1. Bob :

    Peaches,

    The USB cable will charge it, just plug it to a USB port and and the light will blink Red and Green, Once fully charged it will be a continuous green.


  1. Katlaya :

  1. Lynette :

    I have Mac OS10 and it keeps crashing my computer. I can not download music to this thing or delete songs. Where do we get support for this WONDERFUL product? (that was sarcastic!)


  1. Heather :

    This thing is a rediculous headache!!! I have downloaded songs, bought 3 different sized SD cards and the stupid thing still wont work. I downloaded some songs the first night and it saved 11 songs on the internal memory, but I didnt have the memory stick yet. I bought a 1gb memory stick and synced more songs and now nothing plays at all. I can't believe that Disney would make such a difficult to use product, that's supposed to be geared towards children!!! I'm so frustrated!!!!!!!!


  1. Bonnie :

    I'm completely frustrated too. I consider myself pretty computer savvy and cannot load a song onto my 8 year old's MP3 player. I've even tried 4 different computers! Can anyone help?

    for x-mas and I cannot load any music.
    need simple instructions please.


  1. john :

    please help!!
    I can not figure out how to load songs onto this device


  1. Stewart :

    John, to load songs onto your Mixstick, plug in your Mixstick to a USB port on your computer. I have Windows Media Player 11 on my computer, but my instructions for you should also work on Windows Media Player 10. In the media player, click on "sync" tab. Then for each song you want to load to your player just right click on that song, then left click on "Add to sync list". Do this with every song you want to load. When you're ready, go over to the list of songs in sync list column, and click on "start sync" at the bottom of the column. That's it. Hope I helped. Good luck and have fun.


  1. Trish :

    Hey, I found the mix sticks at Toys R Us, but not in their electronics section (like the gaming section) instead it was in the aisle right outside and there were a lot of keyboards and electronic drums and such there. Toys R Us also carried the mix clips to put in (they're around $15 here in MD) but were out. I actually got the mix clip at Wal-Mart in the toy department where the I-dogs and such were. Hope this helps!
