This is a multi purpose mp3 player which doubles as a USB storage device. The beauty of pen drive mp3 players is you can
simply plug them into the USB port (USB 2.0, but back compatible with 1.1) of your laptop or computer and drop and drag mp3 files straight over, no need for software or leads. No software is needed unless your using win98.
With 512mb and 1GB models you can set the screen from a range of 7 backlight colours, including - Red,Green,Dark Green,Dark Blue,Blue,Yellow and Purple. Also when you copy and paste an artist folder full songs to the player, it then allows you to select and play that folder.
If your looking for a multi-featured mp3 player with USB storage that won't break the bank, then it's a good bet. Also a good consideration if you don't want to take your expensive hard drive
player on a night out or on holiday.
The volume is conveniently located on one the side of the player. It's controlled by two small round buttons, the volume is easy to adjust by feel, whilst in your pocket for instance. On the other side is a rolling wheel control, which allows you to skip through tracks and settings by moving it forwards or backwards. By pressing down on this you can change the 'Mode' the player is in.
This rolling wheel or toggle makes this player really easy and intuitive to use.
On the top side of the player next to the LCD screen is the play/pause button, whilst on the other end is the A-B button. The A-B button is a feature which allows you to repeat certain parts of the track. You listen to the track and push down to select the beginning and push down to select the finishing point, the player
will now keep repeating this section. This would be useful for learning a language or trying to decipher a lyric. There are also a number of repeat modes, including repeat current track, repeat all, random play amd preview which plays the first 10 secs of each track.
This Player also has a built in FM radio, which will allow you to scan for stations and save these to presets for future use.
Another useful feature is the voice recorder which uses a small microphone situated at the front of the player, it worked well and picked-up talking from several metres away. It has a simple and classic shape.
