This review is from: TrekStor i.Beat xtension 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio (Black) (Electronics) First, this MP3 player is USB mass storage class compliant. So you plug it in and drag and drop your music files like any other device. This means you can use it as a thumb drive as well and store whatever you like. It will just play the mp3s and leave the rest be. It keeps the files in the folders you put them in and allows you to pick the folder you want to play. This makes it easy to keep things organized if you don't want to set up the ID3 tags. Navigating the folders isn't complicated once you get the hang of what button does what.
I've had other mp3 players that conflicted with my mouse when I plugged them in but this had no problems. Also, it plugs in straight without any cables to connect it up. There's a cover for the USB connector which fits on snugly. You remove this also to change the AAA battery. Another nice aspect as you can bring extras with you. The other big thing is that in addition to the internal memory, you can plug an SD card in.

Sound is very good and the phones provided are excellent. The Trekstor 2GB can be booted with an SD Card in the slot provided in the side. The Trekstor iBeat Extension is a class above the COBY for only $15 more - 2 GB instead of 1GB, SD Card slot, and the mike and voice recording very good. The FM seems good too. Two tiny problems though. The Mike hole is too small and on the side not front so it does not record the person opposite you very well unless aimed intentionally at them. And, the FM seems so far not to be able to distinguish between 89.9 (WKCR) and 90.0 MHz (WKCR with occasional hisses), though perhaps I will find out how to correct this. The TrekStor is German but made in China and the pleasing texture of the surface material is suede. Good appearance except for two slightly cheap looking metal controls.

The screen is a little small and if, like me, your eyesight isn't what it used to be, it could be a little strain to read it.
The user's guide could go a little more in the details, mainly regarding the explaination for all the -tiny- symbols on screen but if you have been using a tape, cd or whatever of anykind in the last 10 years, you'll figure them out very quickly. My requirements when searching for a player were: -Lightweight -No cable to connect on computer -Comfortable memory, expandable if possible -FM radio -Price max $60.00 It took me a couple of days of search on line but I am not disappointed. On the service side, JR Electronics (it came from them) sent it the day after in a BIG box with impressive padding. A big ++ for them. The MP3 power-users will probably want to go with a bigger -more expensive- one but, for myself, I see no...Read more |
