TrekStor i.Beat Organix FM 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Tuner (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use the Organix for music record/play as well as for data transfer/storage and a voice recorder. The radio features are incredible: station search is very important to me as I travel a lot and need to locate the strongest station in each location. Also 16 presets are just as important to me at home (although I use just 9 at present).

Once at home, connected to the PC, I found that Windows XP manipulates the files quite easily. I transfer files to and from the PC without any difficulty.

The music library is very effective. It's easy to locate a song by artist/album (if you care to take the trouble of putting it in). I find the equalizer settings to be very useful - I use the `classical' and `jazz' settings most of the time. Just as important is the Sennheiser headset that came with the unit. Its quality is superb. Being a classical music fan I find it a great contribution. I don't have much use for the 2 headphone jacks but my children think it's cool.

The rechargeable battery provides over 22 hours of play on a single charge (it is claimed to provide 25 but I haven't tried that yet) and charging it via the USB port is quite simple.

I found the manual quite helpful. On one occasion I needed additional information so I contacted the company US office (Trekstor is a German company) and found them just as helpful.
