Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy all your favorite music on the move with the TrekStor i.Beat jump digital music player. The unit--which supports MP3, WMA, and WAV audio formats and is compatible with secure WMA-DRM9 Internet music services--is compact and lightweight, with a silver stick-shaped housing that measures a mere 3.2 by 1.1 by 0.8 inches (W x H x D). More significantly, the i.Beat jump's 2 GB of flash memory stores enough music for almost any workout or commute--up to 32 hours of MP3 and 64 hours of WMA files. The device is no slouch from a playback perspective, either, with such options as repeat play (one or all songs), shuffle, repeat shuffle, and resume. And navigation couldn't be easier thanks to the integrated music library, which automatically sorts the material by artist, album, title, and genre, and the two-color OLED display, which offers a 128 x 64 pixel resolution. 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. What's in the Box

Summary: Well worth it 2006-12-15
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great but no FM and File Limit Problem 2006-06-21
Comment: 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). Another problem though, is that you can't create new folders on it at least for me with windows xp. You can get around this by creating a blank folder on your desktop then dragging it over onto the device (into the media folder where all your songs are stored). Once you have folders in the media folder, you can drag your music into those folders (up to the 118 or whatever file limit).
When you run the player it will go thru all the folders and create one huge list of all your music. However, its only a 3 digit display for your songs, so I'm not sure if that means it has a 999 music file limit or perhaps something smaller.
Suffice is to say, this player works best for larger files than tons of smaller ones.
It does have a slight pause when changing from one song to the next which does become a little annoying when you want to go thru them quickly. It won't start playing it fast.
The music library part lets you play music based on the artist, album, etc. So by taking the time to fill those values in on your MP3s you can make it easy to play certain things quickly. Use can the music library by track to flip thru your songs titles faster than trying to do it normally when its playing them. You can't view them by what folder you put them in though apparently.
If the text is too big for one line it scrolls it and you can change between a couple speeds.
Its easy enough to figure out how to use the thing but save the manual just in case you forget you can delete with the record button or something like that. Oh, you can check the memory on the about screen. It also has Dutch language in addition to English.
Includes AAA battery and it has good life, with a display to indicate its status. Includes earbud-type headphones along with build in neckstrap thing so if you can manage to thread it thru the player (no directions to do it but its not that hard) you can let it hang off and wear it. Also includes USB cable. This isn't the kind you can just plug in directly even though it is a stick-style one. You must use the cable, not a big deal though.
Anyway, overall it works great so I would defintely recommend especially since it works as a thumb drive also. You just have to deal with the file number limit per folder.
-------------------------
This is an update.
The headphone jack somehow got messed up so it won't make good connection.
Sometimes it gets messed up and you can't add more music until you format it. Once you've put more music on it can take a while for it to set it up in the player the first time after you added. Additionally it is kind of slow to start in the first place.
I guess I wouldn't recommend it very highly anymore, mostly because of the damaged headphone jack.
