| 157747 | 2003-07-05 23:28:00 | I've decided to buy a flash-based MP3 player but can't decide between these: Geil Pocket Muse 128MB Portable MP3 Player & USB Flash Drive, $180 Geil Pocket Muse 256B Portable MP3 Player & USB Flash Drive, $274 (store.edan.co.nz) Targa MP3 player & Memory stick combo USB 1.1, with 128M $196.65 (www.gyrotech.co.nz) Generic USB MP3/WMA 128mb player V2 (www.auspcmarket.com.au) I am tempted by the 256MB one for only $274, but can't find anything about "Geil Pocket Muses", not even a website. The generic one does have to be got in from Aus, but it'll only cost NZD$215 anyway, and the review at www.dansdata.com would suggest I didn't have to worry about there being any problem with it. Any ideas? |

| 157750 | 2003-07-09 01:24:00 | Thanks. I had since found their website and when I then found out that the "Pocket Muses" didn't have screens, which kinda struck them off the list ;) | Jack Wass (2351) | ||
| 157751 | 2003-07-09 08:18:00 | I have the Mp3 player featured on Dans Data website and its an absolute honey. It has good range of functions, nice clear lcd screen simple to use, robust and has very good clarity of sound. Battery life is excellent at around 7-8 hours on a nimh battery. The only downside is when i plug it into my car stereo, the volume is a little low (but this is more a case of a gutless stereo) and wuffy looking but usable headphones. They come in several brands but all are identical in function. The Targa model used to be available from QMB computers ( havent looked lately) but the version I have is the Apacer audio steno which should be available in most computer shops that stock other apacer gear (which is quite a few). The latest version looks flasher and has the added benifit of having an sd card reader expansion slot (also called Apacer Audio steno) cost $240. PB technologies is one store that does stock them. | the highlander (245) | ||
| 157752 | 2003-07-10 06:44:00 | So you've got the Apacer Audio Steno which is a repackaged version of the one on the Dan's Data website? When I search on the PB Technologies website, they don't have a listing for the Apacer, but that could be just cos they haven't updated it recently. Is the Targa pretty much the same as the Apacer / Dansdata one then? Cos if it is, I may as well just buy it from Gyotech, cos it's only $196 there, Gyrotech's here in Wgtn, and I could get a version with an FM tuner if I want it. BTW, how'd you plug it into the car stereo? |
