(You may remember it from The PCD MV: "Wait a Minute")

i was just watching that MV !
what are your reviews to it ?
it looks sooo cool.
and since i think ipod nano is overrated... and that one looks so high tech, what do you think of it ? the pros, the cons ?

[joongielove]

I have the Zune by Microsoft. BIG mistake.



Front View.



Size compared to a mouse.



Side View


Picture on the display.



During the playing of a HQ video. [My Camera on my phone kinda sucks too ]




Another view of during a HQ video



Probably one of the only good features of it.

I brought this for $249.99. Probably the WORST $250 dollars I have EVER spent. It is big, bulky, and not easy to fit into anything. I've only had it for about...6 months? But it has already stopped working on me numerous times. During charging the first time, it gets really overheated. After that, music transfer is easy and quick if the Zune software is installed.

PROS:
Customizable background
Good sound quality
good video quality[ if video is HQ]
Radio

CONS:
Stops functioning easily
battery runs out after about...4 hours.
Slideshow for photos goes either too fast or too slow
Videos commonly skip or stall
Songs will stall and ruin your whole Zune
Will be long periods of no response
Takes the whole night to charge
Need VERY good earphones for this, as the colume is very small, even at highest sometimes.
No language definition. Only english.

I would definitely NOT reccommend this to anyone, it is a peice of....c***. It is, really.

RATING: 2/10




After reading this thread, I have decided on a Creative Zen Vision M. ^^

[aeolus]

yeah zune lacks of everything except its 3 inch screen

too much things to improve

[charzzy]

was using an ipod mini previously. so i just sticked to using an ipod.
bought this mainly cos of its colour.

overall its fine, at least to me. hahaha.

[n4n45h1]

After staring at the mp4s long enough in hk

i decided to get an 8gig meizu m6

i've had it for about 2 weeks now and here's my review

Exterior Aesthetics

Looks nice, similar to an ipod, i personally bought the black one. the glossy black front comes with a sturdy plastic covering which prevents it from getting scratched. i also added a screen protector without knowing so.

Software Aesthetics

software looks nice, reminds me of the ipod as well as the creative vision firmware. in case you didnt know, the entire firmware is skinnable and currently mine looks gorgeous haha. you can also throw in any picture you have in your photo gallery as a background.

Features

i cant think of anything i wouldnt expect after ive been using the cowon x5L
but the feature set is quite complete except for the usb host, which ive heard is possibly in prototype
the audio quality is decent, i wouldnt stick with the stock earbuds though, i used a pair of decent iems and the sound was much better, especially in an airplane.
the usb transfer rate is decent, much faster than i would have expected. unfortunately the mtp support of wmp11 is fairly weak and doesnt always work, they seem to be putting more effort into providing compatibility with itunes.
also there is a 2048 file limit, which seems to be a drawback if you get the 8gb version

Conclusion

the meizu m6 is a reasonable pmp/mp3 player for its cost. the features are plentiful and i would doubt theres anything extremely significant missing.

[stardaisy212]

i'm looking for a mp3 that holds like 5 videos or less and that holds about 300 songs

can someone help meeeeeeeeee plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz????????????

[X-TINE]

Can you put lyric in Meizu M6?!?!
if can..how to do it?!?

Samsung yp-k5



Price i purchased: $200
2 gb
30 hour battery life

Pros:
Beautiful Interface and design.
Chocolate Phone like controls
Very long battery life
Speaker in the back

Cons:
Weird headphones. Not to my liking, they look like hair dryers
No video playback
6 hours of batterylife when speakers are open
Fingerprint magnet

I am pretty happy about my purchase. I have gotten compliment after compliment about the look and the cool feature of the k5. Only thing that worrys me is the quality of the mp3 player and will it break after sliding the speaker in and out multiple times.

does anyone know where i can get this kind of mp3, but the 4 gb version, in winnipeg, manitoba? its in canada, by the way x___x if no one knows, ill just get my cousins to get me one from japan, since they live there anyways =| they do have it in japan right?

Iriver H340
Capacity: 40gb (available in 20Gb, it's the H320 version)
Format: HDD
Features: Music, Photo, Video, Record (line in & out), Radio FM, File Browsing, Games, Multi codec (wma, wav, mp3, mp4, asf, ogg vorbis), 10 settings of equalizer, excellent sound quality, 2 slots for headphones, 1 slot for a remote (sold separately), carbon fiber shell (shockproof)
The size is big, but you can get a beltclip so it's easy to carry.
Battery: Like 10 hours of music. Mine is very old, so it's maybe more if you can get it new (i don't think so...)
Player Interface: Simple. 6 buttons. the Screen is wide, the colours are very clean, and the graphic interface is well done. The browsing inside the player is easy, unless your tags are dirty, so it can become boring to search songs. At the same time, each button has 2 or 3 functionalities, so it's important to read the notice before using it.
Firmware: Upgradable from any Iriver site on the internet. You can custom the player's interface (hard when you don't really know how to do it). You load and clear the music a "drag n' drop" way, so it's really easy. The firmware recognize ID3 Tags as well as file names (you can choose) Some others functions, like recording (with many options like sound quality and bitrate) are really interesting when you are musician. Can be synchronized with WMP, and also its media library. Many surprises left to discover by yourself...
Price: When it was first sold 5 years ago, it was 550$. I imported from Korea (through Germany), for 160€ (maybe 160-180$). Very cheap for the HD capacity, sound quality, and features of this player!

^^^ I'm a fellow H320 user!

I've had mine for over 3 years and it still works! Great battery life and sound! Plays videos, shows pictures, text, games and mp3s!

However I recently got into a car accident where I was hit and it flew and hit the ground hard. =(

The on switch doesn't work, but I can still turn it on using the power cable or usb cord.

=( Looks like I'll be using the H320 as a mobile 20GB harddrive when I get my next mp3 player. I'm looking to buy a Cowon D2 - any reviews here for it?

after much debate, i got a zune a couple mnths ago. it was $250, and i'm sure most of you all have seen pics of what it looks like. i know others have posted pics of it on here. i'm generally happy with it, except for some flaws, but it's only the first version, so it's ok, still quite a few kinks to sort out in it. i t-1ested the battery life, it says 12 hours, but i tried mine, lasted about 8 or 9 hours, which is pretty good. but i change my songs and turn on my screen sometimes. it might've lasted 12 if i just listened to my songs without turning on the screen or anyhting. it comes in 5 colors: black, white, brown, pink, and salmon/red

Pros
huge screen, good for watching shows and movies, very clear
you can paste the album cover onto it, and you can see it very large on the screen
good sound quality
very easy to navigate and put songs/vids
organizes songs
can customize background with personal picture that you upload onto zune
has wi-fi, but i've nvr used it, since i don't knnow anyone else with a zune
it's pretty much scratch resistant because of the covering over it. i only have one little scratch, and it's on the screen, and i've dropped it like 10 times

Cons
can only read english, so 1/2 my songs are just squares
can't repeat song, only album/playlist/artist...
if you change one little detail of a song, like album cover, it adds it to the zune like a new song if you already have it on the zune before, so you have duplicates (sorry, i don't really know how to explain it)
a bit bulky and fat, but i can manage to fit it in my pants pocket, and no, they aren't baggy
sometimes when i try to turn it on by pressing the play/pause button, it won't turn on, so i have to flip the lock/unlock thing so it'll turn on.
can't organize videos into folders
can only read .mp4 and .wmv videos. thought they would've learned from ipods. one more format isn't that much better

overall, i give this an 8/10, there are still a lot of flaws in this, but i still love it

i may have forgotten some thngs, since it's late and i can't think properly right now

i so wanna get ZEN Vision: M. already know its pros so I wanna know its cons.

the official site says:
requirements: 256MB RAM (512MB RAM recommended)

but mine's only 256MB, so it'd probably lag right?

[x byul satang]

my video ipod broke and my options are:
- fix it for $150
- buy a new nano or video and get 10% off
- buy a new mp3 player

i decided to get a new mp3 player and i want the meizu m6 8gb in white, but amazon only carries the 8gb in black.
would it be safe to buy the meizu m6 on ebay? all the sellers are in china so shipping will probably cost much more and most of the sellers don't have a return policy...

and how many hours of video playback can the meizu m6 handle?

SanDisk Sansa e260~

http://www.promago.de/news/wp-content/sansa-e270-1.jpg

Features:
- Video
- FM Radio
- Voice Recording
- Micro SD slot

Pros:
- Easy to navigate through
- Screen is bright and sharp
- Good sound quality
- Can be used with Windows Media Player (MTP), or as an external drive (MSC)
- Converting program is easy to use
- Custom EQ settings
- Micro SD slot allows for more music beyond 4 GB
- Removable battery
- Liquidmetal backplate is durable, more scratch-resistant than other players I've had

Cons
- Preset EQ's are horrible
- Video limited to only Quicktime format
- FM radio reception is bad compared to the Iriver H10 I used to have
- Micro SD limited to only music files (can't view pictures or movies stored on the micro SD)
- Proprietary USB connection

Overall a nice alternative to the Ipod Nano. The design of the Sansa is great; feels small yet durable. I accidently dropped the player and there were no visible scratch marks on the backplate. Having the removable battery is nice, but the catch is that you'll need a small screwdriver to open up the player from the back. Viewing photos is decent, much better than the Iriver H10. Video is Quicktime format but the software can convert from .avi, .vob, .wmv, .mpg and a few others, so chances are whatever videos you have should be able to convert. I converted a few anime episodes without a problem. Definitely wouldn't recommend it for long viewing periods though. I only use it to watch anime or music videos. As with players this small, I think video playback is more of a little extra, but it's better than nothing. The video quality is decent. Being able to use it as an external drive is a huge plus for me; allows for drag-and-drop, as well as store other data files.

Sansa Express



Capacity: 1 GB/2 GB
Format: Flashdrive
Features:
@ FM Radio
@ MicroSD Expansion Slot
@ Voice Recorder
@ Direct USB Connector
@ OLED Screen
Battery: 15 Hours, but it's often less than that. Maybe 12-13.

Software: None necessary. Just drag the music [AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA] into the folder.

Price: 1 GB: $59.99 / 2G B: $79.99

Pros: It's easy to use and lightweight, and no USB cord is necessary. Plus, it's relatively unexpensive.
Cons: Though it has a bright screen, it's only has a two color display [orange and aqua] and the headphones that come with it are really bad. No video and picture support.

For this price, it's a really good mp3 player. Despite not having video/picture capabilities, the sound quality of the player is excellent and the design of the player is sleek and modern.
I like it. :D
