| 135668 | 2003-04-14 07:08:00 | Has anyone bought one of these? If so, any problems? When I read the description(s), they seemed really good, but I'm suspicious about the quality... | Jack Wass (2351) | ||
| 135669 | 2003-04-14 07:32:00 | I too was interested in one of these and inquired from a retailer with who I have a very good working relationship about them and he said that they perform well but had flimsy build quality and all the returns of this model he had were due to physical breakage. Instead I bought an apacer 128 meg usb mp3 player/flash drive instead and I am rapt with it. Excellent build quality, takes two hours of music encoded at 128 kbps, has a built in voice recorder ( 8 hours worth !), 3 music preset modes, volume, skip ,repeat etc and a nice lcd screen with a decent display. lasts 8 hours on a normal AAA akaline battery. Also serves as a normal USB flash drive. Hell of a lot cheaper than a creative muvo and better featured. Cost me $225 |

| 135670 | 2003-04-14 21:50:00 | Sounds very interesting...where did you get it from? That just plugs into USB 1.1? You've just led my investigations in a totally different direction :p In another thread I was talking about considering the iRiver flash-based player, which I've seen really good reviews of, but it does cost $370 or something in the 128MB version. |

| 135671 | 2003-04-15 11:05:00 | Bought at PB Technologies Hamilton and Auckland also seen them on QMB website in Auckland A very good review on them here www.dansdata.com and look for Mini MP3 player comparison - Creative's MuVo meets The Player With No Name... |

| 135672 | 2003-04-15 20:46:00 | Yes, seems rather strange that would fail to give a name to the product :p The only MP3 player I could find on QMB's website was the "Targa TMU-306 MP3 player / Voice Recording / USB Memory Flash Disk"...which sounds similar but not the same. And PC Tech's website doesn't have a catalogue...did you visit the store? |

| 135673 | 2003-04-15 20:51:00 | Is the Apacer you're talking about the 'Audio Steno' (apacer.com)? That player with no name seems very good...pretty much the same as what you described the Apacer as...? |
Jack Wass (2351) | ||
| 135674 | 2003-04-16 08:51:00 | yep thats the one Audio Steno by apacer It seems that its rebadged under various names but all are identical apart from cosmetic features. Pb tech have only got them in stock recently and they do not update their webpage that often. |

| 135675 | 2003-04-16 15:28:00 | i have had one of these for 6 months now and use it every night at work for 9 and half hours a night and nothing has gone wrong with it all i can advise is that you buy some rw discs to go with it as i have quite a collection of cd's for it now make sure you recharge your batteries every night as they chew through the batteries but one set of rechargable nimh batteries will play your cd's for 10 hours continuosly hope this helps and cannot do without mine now if you are looking to buy one i can get them for $230-00 with batteries and remote |

| 135676 | 2003-04-23 00:49:00 | Been on holiday...thanks for replying people I think I'm going to go for the Apacer (smaller, no skip, etc) IF I can get hold of it. So far PC Technologies hasn't replied to my email, but I'm gonna try QMB. I spose I'll just have to ring PCT if they don't reply soon. Thanks |
