 Great low cost MP3 player October 20, 2008
This is a great, low cost MP3 player that also doubles as a mass storage device.
The only problems I encountered were easily remidied. First of all, to prepare the player for usage, I had to go to the website and download the newest player file. However, the newest file did not work. I had to download an older file to actually activate the player.
Secondly, the USB slot on my desktop was too narrow for this player to connect to directly, adding the small expense of a USB extension.
Like I said, easily remidied, and the low cost of the player allowed extra funds for additional equipment.
My main reasons for purchasing this player were the removable memory capability and batteries. I never have good luck when it comes to durability with the built in batteries. This player uses 1 AAA battery and gets up to 8 hours playback, fantastic return for a couple of dollars a time.
As for the memory expansion with SD cards, this is wonderful. I can categorize my music collection to genres and store each genre on its own card to suit my particular mood. Mass storage at extremely low cost.
I love the feature that the player has in which it automatically sorts stored files by artist, allowing easy access through the spectrum.
I have yet to use the radio or voice recorder functions, but if they work as well as the rest of the features have, I'm in for a treat.
If you want to store lots of information, don't mind having it on several SD cards, and don't want to go to the expense of an I-Pod, I would definitely recommend this product.
The SD cards are extremely cheap through Amazon, with certain brands being available between $2.50 and $7.00. You can't beat those prices, and as usual with Amazon, deliveries are prompt and correct.
One more fantastic feature of this player. Given the memory expansion, you can also use it to store information of a non-musical format, just like a thumb drive.
To sum up - MP3, mass storage, removable memory, radio, voice recorder, battery operated, thumb drive connector. How can you beat it for 30 bucks?
 What do you want for 30 bucks? October 14, 2008
I bought this as a cheap MP3 player to use while exercising. My Rio Karma was too bulky. Got this unit and a 2G memory card for less than $40 in a combo deal. This unit does everything so-so. The MP3 player is functional but has limited settings and options and the sound quality is average to below average. I also noticed that the head phone output only works well with the provided headphones. Using my other earbuds the volume was to low, even on the highest setting. The FM radio works pretty well and is probably the best feature. The unit also functions as a USB memory key, although a very bulky one. I havn't tried the voice recorder. All in all, I think I got what I paid for but would not recommend the unit to anyone unless their expectations were not that high to begin with.
flexibility at low cost October 10, 2008
Rough, cloudy times in the economy requires a low cost options.
Why pay hundreds dollars for a mp3 player ? This trekstor iBeat extension works well with my 8GB SDHC card and sounds good with provided sennheiser headphones.
I just recommend a couple of extra baterries when you go out and enjoy.
 So far...a real dud! October 7, 2008
Came set with a language other than English (did not even recognize what it was) or any of the other languages common to North America. Did not get a prompt reply from help desk. Had to re-load the firmware to change the language as I could not follow the instructions on the screen to re-set the language. Found the menus, finally in English, to be less than logical or intuitive. Main function keys appears to be malfunctioning. Finally, it east batteries like a teenager eats pizza. Do not recommend.
 Very small, light and sounds great September 2, 2008

Small, has internal memory of 2GB and can add a memory card. Don't have to recharge, just add another battery. Easy to add more songs, just use built in USB. Easy to use forward or back buttons to find songs. Good sound.
