Though the i.Beat mood FM 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. As a bonus, the i.Beat mood FM offers a built-in FM tuner, which receives all your favorite FM stations while recording specific songs or programs. The tuner comes with 30 station presets and an automatic station search function for quick channel switching.
Other details include a USB 2.0 interface (cable included) for connecting to PCs or Macs, support for ID3 tagging, a multilingual user interface, six predefined equalizer settings (bass, jazz, classical, normal, pop, and rock), and an automatic shutoff function with a sleep timer. The i.Beat mood FM--which comes with a set of stereo earphones and a 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 16 hours on a single AAA battery (included). The device also carries a one-year warranty.

What this means is that even if you try to fill up this player with 1000 mp3 files at 64 kBit/s each (~2GB), you'll only be able to access less than 480. The number 480 seems to include all folders, sub-folders and files. My capacity was 371 files, even though when plugged into the PC, I had 500 songs. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: TrekStor i.Beat Mood FM 2 GB MP3 Player (Gray) (Electronics) I was a bit hesitant to order this product because of the previous reviewer, but I thought the price and the features were right, so I thought I'd take a chance. Please see the comment on the previous review; the sound is great on the product.
There are a few things to consider with the product. 1. You must organize the files yourself on your desktop or they will be jumbled on the player, but I actually like that because I can organize it the way I want. You can make folders for artists and put all the songs in them to organize it easily. It works just like a jumpdrive, so there are not problems with taking music from other computers or giving music to other computers. This also means you must know where the music files are saved on your computer. 2. Only mp3 files work, and I originally thought this was a problem because I use itunes. However, itunes can convert the files files to mp3 fomat if they're not yet in that format. 3.

It holds quite a few albums, so I can keep a variety of music on it for whatever mood I'm in. It also records voice, and can play and record FM stations. It is also easy to add or delete music - just drag & drop. The only downfall I have experienced is recording from an FM station. I was listening to a discourse, but wanted to record it as well. So, I hit record, set the player down, and didn't have the earbud cord extended. Since the cord acts as an antenna, the recording was staticy and unusable. Next time I try it, I will make sure the cord is extended or keep one of the buds in to make sure the reception is clear. Overall, I am satisfied with this product and have recommended it to friends. |
