I agree with T3....well almost  |
I purchased this product after reading a review in T3 magazine recently.They mentioned about the sound quality being sharp and I had noticed that with some others this had not been the case. In addition the player having a screen I saw as a distinct benefit. Pros
128MB
Plus & Play (Im using XP)
Drag & Drop
MP3 playback
Voice Recorder (i have to disagree with T3 on this as it sounds good to me)
Backlit LCD
ID3 tags
Tempo control - (This can be a lot of fun Avril Lavigne, Complicated speeded up fully then sounds like it is sung from the offspring of Pinky & Perky crossed with Dolly Parton. And can anyone let me know why it is that if you slow down songs then they always sound like Rick Astley!) Sorry I digress!
Logo editor - design your own again this passes the time away
A-B loop
Various playback modes including repeat, shuffle and you can even create a playlist on the player.
Bass & Treble control
And its a 128MB Flash Drive
Uses 1 standard AAA battery, I get around 8 hours playback
And i just know theres more to play with... I suppose I should also mention some of the not quite perfect points; WMA support, this would have been nice, but I knew it didnt have it so no big deal. The earphones although very good arent on quite a long enough lead, so if you put the player in your trouser pocket and they are deep then they tend to pull a bit. Easily solved by either changing earphones or by putting it in a different pocket. I have had a great deal out enjoyment out of this little player and would definitely recommend it!!

The best mp3 player |
|
Three words come to mind when i think of this mp3 player, AMAZING, Affordable and GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY. I have mine for a week and its great. It looks attractive, feels great and the logo design feature is wicked. I can take all the songs i need for college and still have space to fit my work. Voice record feature is a bonus, i didnt originly buy it for that but it is great for remenbering notes and revision for exams. I use it everywhere i go im never with out. Its have lots of features and is so quick to change and delete songs. Thanks oracom for giving the best mp3 player i could imagine for that price!!!

Fantastic |
This thing is great! I can get about 30 tracks on it at 128kbps, so thats about 2 hours music. Transfer via USB couldnt be easier, and its quite quick too so as soon as you get bored the songs you can switch them easily (who needs an iPod, eh?).The little screen is extremely high definition, so it can fit a lot more detail on it than youd imagine, and its backlit so you can use it in the dark. Whats more, the player automatically detects the song names and artists from the ID3 tags on the MP3 files, so no more faffing around inputting song names like I used to do with my MiniDisc. The headphones give a good sound, and although a couple of others have commented on the short wire, they didnt mention that the player comes with a neck-band, thus negating the need for long heaphone cables. Build quality is nice and solid, yet light. Practically all the weight comes from the AAA battery, its insane. I havent bothered to try the voice recording aspect, as thats not why I bought an MP3 player so I cant comment on it, but everything else is great. A well thought out piece of kit (you can even change the duration of the backlight on the screen, and the scroll speed of the text), I havent seen anything better on the market at the moment.
