Product Description

Amazon Product Description

Today, fans of MP3 players have a variety of options from which to choose. Those who prefer super-high capacity players -- some of which are capable of storing over 10,000 songs -- should look into hard drive-based players such as Apple's iPod or Creative Labs' Nomad Jukebox. Those who want removable media will want to investigate MP3 CD players such as Panasonic's SL line. But if budget, size, and durability are a priority, flash memory-based players are the way to go. Substantially smaller and less expensive than most of the alternatives and utilizing shockproof flash memory rather than comparatively fragile hard drives or CDs, flash memory players deliver excellent bang for the buck. The tradeoff is capacity - flash memory players simply can't store as many songs as some of the pricier units. Nevertheless, most can handle several hours of music, more than enough for most music enthusiasts.

One such flash memory player is the BoomGear MP-800. At 3.0 by 1.3 by .7 inches and just 1.1 ounce (without battery), it isn't much larger than a cigarette lighter. The unit supports two of today's most popular music file formats -- WMA and MP3 -- with enough storage space for up to eight hours of music (WMA format) and up to four hours of music (MP3 format).

But the MP-900 is much more than an MP3/WMA player. With just a couple of button presses, it's an FM tuner too. Or an FM recorder. In fact, you can even record your own voice via its integrated microphone or capture other sources via its line-in jack. Other amenities include a five-way user selectable EQ, automatic FM station scanning, song title/information display and nifty three-color LED backlight.

One of the unit's most intriguing functions is its "broadcast" capability, wherein it wirelessly transmits its music to any nearby outdoor FM radio - whether you're on the beach with your boombox or in your car. The MP-900 connects to your computer via a USB port and provides eight hours of continuous playback from a single AAA battery.

Product Description

The small lightweight Boomgear MP800 is a fully functional MP3 Player with 256MB of RAM, an FM tuner for receiving your favorite radio stations as well as an integrated FM transmitter. The MP800 is also capable of recording voice as well as FM radio from the built-in tuner. An innovative feature of the MP800 is the integrated FM transmitter. Using this feature you can play your MP3s through a boom box or your car stereo without cables.

This review is from: BoomGear MP-800 256MB MP3 Player/FM Radio/FM Transmitter/ Voice Recorder (Electronics)
I liked the idea of an FM radio built into the mp3 player and the FM Transmitter sounded cool too. It's a tiny little package that works great playing MP3's, loud enough with good sound quality. In FM mode you don't get nearly as much volume as when playing MP3's, but it sounds OK. The FM transmitter function is useless and sounds terrible. Overall, I was not pleased enough to keep this and will look for another.
