Though the i.Beat jump is primarily designed for music, the unit also functions as a mobile storage device, with the ability to hold text files, small photos, and other data. Listeners will also dig the integrated microphone and voice recorder, which lets them record voice notes, lectures, and interviews in WAV format. And should you need to free up space on the player, it's possible to delete files without connecting to your PC first.
Other details include a high-quality aluminum/plastic housing, a USB 2.0 interface for connecting to PCs or Macs, support for ID3 tagging, a multilingual user interface, seven predefined equalizer settings (bass, jazz, classical, normal, pop, rock, and treble), and an automatic shutoff function with a sleep timer. The i.Beat jump--which comes with a set of stereo headphones integrated within the neck strap--is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP, Mac OS X 10.3.x, and Linux from Kernel 2.4.x operating systems and runs for roughly 8 to 10 hours on a single AAA battery (included). The device also carries a one-year warranty.

This review is from: TrekStor i.Beat Jump 2 GB MP3 Player (Silver) (Electronics) Even though it says up there about the FM, the one I got did not have the FM radio feature, though I didn't care about it much.
It does have the voice recording and offers 2 settings for it: 8000hz and 16000hz. You can use it to trasfer files including the .wav voice recordings you make using it. Windows recognizes it with the USB mass storage class device setup. Then you can delete or copy files between it and the pc by just dragging them into the media folder of the drive which is listed under My Computer. SERIOUS PROBLEM though. It has a limit on the number of files in a folder. I think its something just above 115, like 118, so I'd stick with 115 to be safe. Trying to put more in will cause it to crash sending. The files you have in it will play but you won't be able to put more on it until you format the device (right click and select format under My computer then you may have to d/c and turn on the thing so it recreates the media folder)...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By oldies (50-60) listener (USA and proud of it.) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: TrekStor i.Beat Jump 2 GB MP3 Player (Silver) (Electronics) Connect your USB port to this player, transfer (copy) a folder(s) with your mp3 files (mine are 320kbps) and you can listen to Mitch Miller christmas music like I am. It took ten minutes to load 7 albums containing 150 songs using storage of 990mb.
Suprizingly the display is very good and the dialogue in using the player is not difficult once you walk thru it. For the price and performance its a great gift for mp3 and wma users as opposed to IPOD. I would have given it 5 stars except: ..... The documentation is too brief. ..... Its library feature captures Identification data stored in each track associated with the original album. There may be a conflict between your mp3 setup and the way this player sets up its library. This does not effect playabilty or use. ..... Some equalizer settings did not work well for some tracks--it may be my mp3 ripping. ..... The 3a battery that came with it was dead. |
