Product Description
60GB PORTABLE MEDIA PLAYER BLACK
Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Aiming to make a mark as one of the market's most powerful and sophisticated portable media players, Toshiba's Gigabeat MES60VK doesn't disappoint. The device employs Microsoft's intuitive Portable Media Center (PMC) software to play your favorite digital movies, music, and photos,
with support for WMA Lossless, WMA, MP3, WAV, WMV, and JPEG formats. The Windows Media Player application even transcodes MPEG-4, AVI, and MOV formats, making it far more versatile than most video-compatible players. Meanwhile, the MES60VK's 60 GB hard drive is capable of holding a ton of digital media, including about 15,000 songs (more than 1,000 complete albums) at 128 kbps, a mind-boggling 30,000 songs at 64 kbps, and a still-impressive 1,700 songs, or 114 hours, of CD-resolution WAV files.
The MES60VK's defining feature, however, is its 2.4-inch QVGA display, which offers a resolution of 320 x 240 (65,000 colors) to ensure elite video and picture quality. Viewers who want to enjoy optimal resolution can switch to landscape mode, or they can output the signal to a full-size TV for group viewing. And serious music fans can download and view album covers on the screen, search for their favorite tracks by scrolling through the album covers, or even set a favorite album as a background image.
 Microsoft's intuitive Portable Media Center makes it easy to play all your media. View larger. You can also see the device in detail. |
The PC-only device is also PlaysForSure-certified by Microsoft, which means that it will operate with any similarly designated management software or download service, such as Napster, Rhapsody, and Wal-Mart Music Downloads. Users can also subscribe to movies or TV shows via MTV/Microsoft's Urge, TiVo to Go, Starz Vongo, and a host of other sites. And because the MES60VK is automatically recognized by Windows Media Player 10, you won't need to install drivers of any kind.
 Controlling the device couldn't be easier. View larger. |
The device is prepared for future developments as well, as it's one of the first media players that can be connected to and controlled via the Xbox 360's interface. Finally, the MES60VK serves as a USB host, letting you connect a digital camera to the unit's USB port and then transfer and view the pics immediately--no PC required.
Additional features include a built-in FM tuner with 30 station presets, a docking cradle for charging, and a pair of headphones with an integrated remote control. The MES60VK, which offers roughly 20 hours of music playback per charge, measures a compact 2.38 by 3.94 by 0.62 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.
What's in the Box
MES60VK portable media player, AC adapter, AC adapter cable, earbuds, USB cable, USB conversion cable, AV cable, software CD-ROM, and quick start guide.

And *still* does after almost 2 Years..., By This review is from: Toshiba MES60VK Gigabeat 60 GB Portable Media Player (Black) (Electronics) I can't really give a review yet on the battery performance or say much on all the features as I have only had this 1 day so far, but I like what I see so far... I should mention that I bought the Black 60 GB model...
I took it out of the package and set it up to charge, it took the 3 hours that it says it needs to fully charge. I went to install anything to my computer (laptop with windows XP MCE 2005), and it says to install mediaplayer 10, even if you already have it as the install would also install a few other items that the player needs to work with the Gigabeat S. I have the latest version of Media Player 11 on here, and I didn't need to do anything else (no installations of any kind) to get the Gigabeat working with my system and Sync properly. I also already had the latest updates for MCE 2005 and so I am assuming that if you have the automatic updates turned on, that you would have everything needed as well. I had never used Media Player for...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: Great PMP Player, By This review is from: Toshiba MES60VK Gigabeat 60 GB Portable Media Player (Black) (Electronics) I purchased this item 3 weeks ago and can honestly say that I am very pleased with my purchase. I was a little hesitant after reading some of the mediocre reviews about battery life and loss of files. Well I already experienced the later issue with loss of files. This occurred on my second day of use with the player. I was attempting to sync with WMP 11 and the computer would not connect to the player. I then clicked "reconnect to the device" and when this completed all my files were gone??? Well I never did figure out why this occurred and I have not experienced this issue since. Now on to battery life... I have not had any issue with battery life. So far I have received continuous playback for over 6 1/2 hrs and 8 1/2 hours during a trip from NJ to VA and back. After the 6 1/2 hr trip the battery indicator was only 1/4 of the way down and after the 8 1/2 trip back it was 1/2 down. The player was connected to my car stereo, via cassette adapter, and the...Read more 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful:  GIGABEAT ROCKS, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Toshiba MES60VK Gigabeat 60 GB Portable Media Player (Black) (Electronics) I've had my unit for about a week now and I am very happy with. I didn't have to learn anything new. It's Windows Media Center interface! I have loaded all my music (about 10k songs) and my playlists into it and about 3 tv shows I recorded and I still have about 20 gigs left. Ear buds are just decent. Will probably replace with better ones soon. One complaint I have is there is no case for it. Not even a cheapie one. And of course, it being so new, there are no aftermarket accessories for it yet. Also, Toshiba said 20 hours of battery. LOL. It doesn't even come close. But overall, I love it. |
