Reviewed by Technoman on 03-05-2004 I have just purchased this player 2 days ago and it is a really impressive piece of kit, I would like to have bought the 512mb version but I could only manage to get the 256mb. Anyway onto the review........the first thing is you do really get a great sound the headphones are superior quality I know this as I tried different headphones in the player the display is superb oled which is bright blue, you can scroll it in different directions and even display your own mini movies when you switch on. I like the swivel USB plug which tucks back in the player like an arm. The onboard encoder lets you import music via a source like a portable CD player and automatically encodes to mp3 later you can transfer this back to your computer as a ready made mp3 saving a lot of time. It s very easy to record your own voice in good quality many many functions... This one is way ahead of anything else on the market. Had considered an ipod but too bulky heavy and uses too much battery power the great advantage of this is it has no moving parts so nothing can wear out (e.g. no hard drive). It runs for ages on a tiny AA rechargeable battery though looking at it I wonder where they have found so much technology where the battery must be occupying 90% of the internal volume. The joystick is good to use when in play mode it operates volume up down and next track in the other direction the tuner is better than average and a near CD quality recording can be made directly from the tuner when there is a good signal. No question this is the dogs b*****ks at the moment if I had one criticism I would like to have had the option of a detachable memory card, but have looked at all the players with cards and none of them even come close yet... This unit is made in Korea which is where the best players are made at a fraction of the price we pay....if you want the best buy it ... Enough said. Rating:
