The IPod for those on a tight budget

(5 out of 5) by Mort on Jan 25, 2003 (NYC, NY)

Just kidding about the title - the IPod is probably 10 times better, but you could buy 10 of these bad boys for the price of one (5GB) IPod.

I purchased this little guy about 3 weeks ago - I got it for $ after rebate, + $ for a 128MB Smartmedia card. For the total price, this can't be beat.

It's basic - no song title information, setting up playlists, etc. But it holds about 40 songs, has really good sound (4 preset settings - stick to Rock or Jazz), and best of all is the size of a beeper and weighs 2 ounces. I live in NYC and travel the subway every day - this player is so small that I can put it anywhere (shirt pocket, around my neck, etc.) and not feel it. Great for joggers, etc.

This thing is LOUD, and gets about 12-15 hours on 1 AA battery. The software is very simple - just drag and drop MP3's onto the player using UBS cable - downloads are pretty fast. It has basic features (FF/Rewind/Pause) and has a hold button so it won't get turned on by itself.

Downsides? Won't play VBR files. No belt clip (although it comes with a cute felt sack that I use for my electric razor). That's about it. For value you can't beat this player.
