The TrekStor vibez supports MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG and FLAC files as well as WMA DRM (Digital Rights Management) 9 and 10 formats. This allows songs bought or rented over the Internet, such as Napster To Go, or songs downloaded from sites featuring WMA lossless formats, such as Music Giants, to be played without hassle. Additional features include a DJ Mode that automatically compiles playlists based on your taste (according to the number of times your saved songs have been played before) and four dynamic visualization effects to suit the music. Line-in recording enables you to record from an external source while speech may also be recorded using the integrated microphone. In order to take the hassle out of managing your music collection, TrekStor has bundled in Magix's MP3 Maker SE with every vibez.

 Access the intuitive pop-up menu easily with the mounted scroll wheel. |
 The TrekStor features dynamic visualization modes as well as a unique VU Meter for audio output. |
Control of the TrekStor vibez is through a large rubberized scroll wheel that provides for quick and easy operation via a hierarchically structured pop-up menu. This menu enables quick and easy operation of the vibez despite its numerous features. In addition, the vibez features user-programmable buttons so you can program your most important functions for ease of operation.
At 200 MHz, the computing strength of vibez is so powerful that you can cross-fade two songs or automatically sort images according to their recorded data (EXIF). The high-speed USB 2.0 connection ensures that your images and songs will be transferred to vibez reliably and fast.
The vibez display, which features 176 x 132 pixels, can show the CD covers of the songs being played. The sort function of the JPEG viewer enables stored photos to be sorted on the vibez by camera model and image recording data.
The TrekStor vibez is available with a range of accessories: A cable remote control, a second set of earphones with independent volume control, a docking station with battery charger and infrared remote control which can be used to connect the vibez to separate speakers or a hi-fi system.

I was rather intrigued with the player when the news about it first came out. It uses a Sigmatel chipset, and is basically what the purported Rio Avalon would have been (see [...], search Rio Avalon). The player uses a Cornice 1" hard drive, available now in the 8 or 12 gb size, with a possible 15 gb edition coming out soon. The hard drive has a unique protection device that parks the head when the unit is dropped (it works quite well, as I have dropped my player twice in the last week, once on concrete, and is okay). One issue that I ran into, (as R. Crowder did with the 12 gb edition, see his review on Amazon), is the player defaulted to the French volume setting, even after resetting it. In the end, I had to reset it twice to get the non-French volume setting. (There is a law in France stipulating that daps have a lower volume setting, limiting the volume output to 105 db. When you first turn the player on, it will ask you if...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  need better quality control, By This review is from: TrekStor vibez 8 GB MP3 Player (Black/Silver) (Electronics) this *could* be a great music player. works with linux, supports open formats, audiophile features (speed control, advanced playlist features, advanced EQ), etc. those are the "pros." "cons" include: why is FM radio reception an option and not standard? also, why not have a speed control that's independent of pitch change? the technology for this has been around for at least 10 years now...
my main complaint about this unit is that i've gotten two bad ones from J&R; returning the second one tomorrow. the first one crapped out after about 2 weeks, and the second one refuses to power up after only two days. trekstor tech support answers emails promptly enough, but their advice doesn't go much beyond suggestions to update the firmware (although i told them that both of my vibezs shipped with the latest firmware already installed). i'm going to try one more time, because i think this could be the best alternative to the iPod that's out there...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  Not impressed, By This review is from: TrekStor vibez 8 GB MP3 Player (Black/Silver) (Electronics) Normally, I really try and shy away from 1 star ratings, but this product I'm afraid warranted it. I have not had good luck with its reliability. A month into owning it, it stopped completing its start-up cycle. TrekStor was was fairly nice about having me return it for a replacement (tho they didn't send me pre-payed shipping labels like HP has). Now giving them the benefit of the doubt, it could have been a fluke and a bad unit. But immediately upon receiving the second one, it gives faulty "back cover removed" errors and shuts off. Since it's more than 90 days since I bought it from JR Electronics thru Amazon, they will not let me return it to them. So now I'm paying for this one to be returned as well, and hoping I have better luck with my third one. That said, here's how I rate the non-reliability issues: Pros -really elegant, snazzy look -great drag-and-drop way of adding/removing songs; it appears as a USB disk...Read more |
