Sansa e200 Bullet Proof Shields Review

Sansa e200 Bullet Proof Shields
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this product more than a month after getting my Sansdisk player. It's a required protection for your player. I got some scratches on my display window and although I wish I never went without the bullet-proof shield the shield makes the tiny scratches unnoticeable and now I don't have to worry about the display becoming so scratched one day that it looks cloudy. The most minor things can scratch the window. If you don't have these yet for your player get them and if you are getting a player be sure to order a couple of these and put it on immediately because the player needs to be totally clean for the best fit.

MARWARE Sidewinder - Hard case - black - iPod with video (5G) 30GB, iPod classic 80GB Review

MARWARE Sidewinder - Hard case - black - iPod with video 30GB, iPod classic 80GB
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this case when I bought my 80 gig iPod, and it has saved my iPod on countless occasions.I have dropped my iPod on many different surfaces, from plush carpet to concrete, and while my case has taken a lot of abuse, my iPod doesn't have a scratch on it!

But when I dropped it on concrete for what was probably the 40th time (I really need to find a better way to carry it when I run!), the case itself started separating at the side seams and needed to be replaced.

There are a few downsides:

1) It doubles the size of the iPod.

2) The flap on the bottom that covers the cable port broke off and couldn't be replaced.This wasn't a really big issue for me, since I use that port several times a day.

3) "The slide-and-hide" arm has come off a few times, but I was able to slide it back in place every time and continue using it with no problems.

And finally,

4) Be careful winding your earphones around the arm, wind too tight and it damages the cord.

All in all this has been the best case I have ever owned, and was well worth every cent (for the first one and the second replacement case).

Samsung YH-820MC 5 GB Digital Audio Player Review

Samsung YH-820MC 5 GB Digital Audio Player
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all, I'd like to say that I have NO idea what anyone here is talking about. I purchased this MP3 player, have loaded over 2000 songs in it, and never ONCE installed napster. the installation of napster is just NOT necessary! i never installed it. i stuck with realplayer, which works VERY well and I am very pleased. I use my mp3 player for hours every day and have NEVER had any problems with it. The only issue I have with it is that it does take about 15 seconds to start it up. But that doesn't make any difference to me. Who needs music to startup right away anyway?! I am not a camera person, but I have used the photo album. I'm pleased with it, but that wasn't the reason I bought it for. In conclusion, this mp3 player is very nice, despite what was said by the crazy people below. And not ONCE have I had an issue with the Hard Drive. This mp3 player might be a little pricy, but if youre willing to spend the amount, the color screen makes it worth it. The headphones included are very acceptable, and I am extremely satisfied with my samsung mp3 player.

Coby MP-C586 1GB Sports MP3 Player with FM Radio Review

Coby MP-C586 1GB Sports MP3 Player with FM Radio
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Now, I'll start off with the downsides.This item looks nothing like the picture.Well, same color scheme, but its not the pretty picture you see.The MP3 player looks very poorly made.That being said though... I can't complain about it.I didn't buy it for looks.And, for only about $37... it doesn't need to look good.Heck, most companies charge $37 for the friggin' matching armband, but one comes with this sucker... which is why I bought it to begin with.

The headphones that come with it are nice.They're terrible for jogging and such, but for other purposes, they work great.Of course, a smart jogger would've already bought those ear buds with the clips on them anyways.It comes with a battery, and is very easy to operate... even while jogging.It doesn't plug directly into a USB port, but it comes with a foot-long chord that does.That may annoy some people... but I for one don't care as long as I can transfer easily (which I can... no software or licenses required).Plus, it comes with 50 free song downloads, so I won't get arrested and sued for... 50 songs I own/will own.

So, basically, what you get for $31 + S&H is a small MP3 player, with an armband, that holds up to a gig of music and plays the radio.Though it may look poorly made, thus far it has held up well... and the arm band, though a hidious color, would seem to protect it if by any chance it fell (you know, unless you fell on it too).

I'd say get it.It beats everything on the market as far as price for the package is concerned.

Sony NW-E507 Network Walkman 1 GB Digital Music Player with FM Tuner Review

Sony NW-E507 Network Walkman 1 GB Digital Music Player with FM Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This player is fairly small, although it may be confused with a shiny lighter. I actually kind of like that kind of camouflage since it makes it less likely to be stolen. There is no mistaking it for a lighter once the bright OLED display comes alive.

The controls are well-thought, a Sony trademark of sorts. There is a large play/stop button, two paddles on the "shoulders" for volume, and a sliding joystick control around the headpone jack. The joystick works like a watch crown. Pushed down, it puts the device in "hold" mode. It has two other positions. To skip to next/prev song, you rotate the joystick a bit (when not in "hold" mode). The bottom hides the mini-USB port. Minor gripe: the device stops playing when the USB cable is plugged in.

The OLED display is a very nice touch and it integrates quite well with the player's design, although I wish it were a tad longer to be able to display more text without scrolling. The fixed font makes it hard to read sometimes. A proportional font would work better (probably fixable with a software upgrade).

Which brings me to the reason why I gave it only 4 stars. And why I am going to return it. There is simply too much hassle associated with putting music on the device and copying it back from it. The software insists on controlling what I can and cannot do with my own files. You can only upload mp3s by using the included SonicStage software. But, regardless of the original source, it will not let you download the files back unless you perform an "authorization" with some remote site I don't care for, presumably because it assumes you're a "thief". That, my friends, I cannot have.

Sigh. The recipe was simple and easy to follow. The mp3 player is a USB storage device, with a universal driver, you plug it in, you copy files to/from it, it plays whatever it can from your folders. It would have worked everywhere, even with a Mac or Linux, or even years after support for the actual player had lapsed, without any extra effort. But no. Not with this one. You can certainly upload files to it, it will just ignore them if you didn't put them via SonicStage. You can look at it as having two areas on the drive, one for the encoded music that it will play, and one for your files, that it will not.

To recapitulate: it is My computer. My mp3 player. My music. I find it odd that Sony thinks I will pay them money so they can POLICE my own computer. Nuh-huh. Not me. I guess I'll just have to put up with a clunkier interface of Archos, Iriver, or I don't know, Lexar, that at least give me the FREEDOM to do what I want with my own stuff.

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2 GB MP3 Player (Red) Review

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2 GB MP3 Player
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Creative Zen Stone Plus 2GB doubles the size of the iPod Shuffle and adds a monochrome screen for viewing track names and settings.Add in the functionality of a built-in FM tuner and voice recorder at $65 and you have a great value.

Pros -
+ good stereo sound
+ nice capacity for a decent price
+ light-weight
+ FM tuner with 32 presets ( though it's just average )
+ voice recording
+ simple design (no more click wheel!) with more color options
+ great navigation and sorting features
+ Nice format compatibility (MP3, WAV, WMA, Audible)
+ USB 1.1 and 2.0 connectivity
+ Can be used as a USB drive / mass storage
+ Can sync music with drag & drop or via Creative software
+ Nice extras like stopwatch function

Cons
- average battery life of 10 hours (OLED screen sucks the battery)
- mediocre backlight ( but it can be disabled )
- some DRM song transfer issues with some firmware versions
- not expandable - few size options 1GB and 2GB
- Creative software is buggy
- larger than the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod shuffles

Creative's Zen Stone line was meant to be the upgrade to the Zen nano, aka Muvo mini.Unfortunately, the 1GB Zen Stone had some quality issues.With the new 2GB Zen Stone Plus, Creative has tried to improve on previous models and compete with the Sandisk Sansas.

I love the new Sandisk Sansa's.The Sansa Express has the advantage that you can plug it directly into your USB port without a cable.SanDisk Sansa Express 2 GB MP3 Player (Black)Still, theCreative Zen Stone feels nicer in the hand. It's not as sleek as the Sansa Express and doesn't have all the cool cache' of an iPod shuffle or iPod nano.But it is priced very attractively and has some NICE features.It's good for a starter, workout unit, or gift for a kid.

The Creative Zen Stone Plus is lighter than the competition, but is still larger than the new iPod Shuffle 2nd and 3rd generations. Unlike the shuffle, you can actually see your track names! The OLED screen is perfect for a player this size but does suck more power and shorten the battery life.

The controls are an improvement from the Zen nano days.While I didn't mind the toggle wheel, it has been replaced by intuitive buttons for the standard functions (select, up, down, play, pause, forward or reverse).There's a headphone jack, microphone hole, and a USB port.

Another change from the Zen nano days is the Lithium Ion battery, which gives you about 10 hours if your lucky.This is less versatile than the old battery operated unit, but more convenient.

What about sound? The sound is great, and it comes through in pure stereo. As usual, you will hear complaints about the earbuds. Most people replace their standard earbuds so I won't hold that against Creative.

The Zen Stone doesn't have larger storage options. For those needing more space, you will have to explore the Creative Zen, Sandisk Sansa or new iPod Nano.All of those units have higher price tags.
Creative Zen 4 GB (Black)
Creative Zen 8 GB (Black)
Creative Zen 16 GB (Black)
Sandisk SDMX4-4096 Sansa e260 4 GB MP3 Player with SD Expansion Slot
SanDisk SDMX4-8192 Sansa e280 8 GB MP3 Player (Black)
Apple 4 GB iPod nano AAC/MP3 Player Silver (3rd Generation)
Apple 8 GB iPod nano AAC/MP3 Player Black (3rd Generation)

This unit is ideal as a player and not for those who primarily want to use it for recording. The built-in microphone is nice for short reminders.

The price isn't a give-away, and the plastic case could be more durable.Still, this is a nice starter unit that can last you a while. Check it out.Enjoy!!!

Samsung YP-T7JZ 1 GB Digital Audio Player with FM Tuner & Recorder Review

Samsung YP-T7JZ 1 GB Digital Audio Player with FM Tuner & Recorder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Great sound.Sensible menu structure.You can use Windows Media Player or drag and drop files and folders.Has line in.Has built in microphone or you can use line in.FM radio actually works fairly well.You can record from FM too.Compression rate is selectable from unit as opposed to PC.Very small but still able to push buttons with old, beat up fingers.Screen very readable, unlike my Erickson/Sony cell phone.Battery life is reasonable.Customer support has been great.I had one problem that required help from the "next level" and he explained how to fix PC related problem.

Draw backs. Requires USB port to charge (or separate USB charger that you buy).Supplied ear buds are terrible.If you want to listen to music you will have to buy something better.Does not work with Mac OS X.You cannot drag and drop from Mac.Player is not recognized at all by Mac.Technical support says if you put more than 9 folders on player, it may (or may not) erase something already there.They are working on upgrade to firmware to address this issue.

Overall I am very pleased with player and use almost all the features.I highly recommend it.iPod comes up short on features by comparison.
