5.0 out of 5 stars Feature Rich Expandable MP3 and FM player/recorder
This product is not nearly as misrepresented as the previous reviewer seemed to think. Both the player and the Radio Functionality worked well out of the box. It read preexisting music off of a 1GB chip of music and other files that I had without any problems. It was able to encode MP3s off the radio and from the line in output. The only "conversion" that is required...

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Documentation, Inaccurate Feature List
This device has some serious problems. First, the manual is poorly written, and second it lies about the features it has! It says it is a direct MP3 encoder, but it isn't. It records into another format that you can convert on your PC into an MP3 with the included software. You can't even listen to the files without hooking it up to a PC, uploading, and then...

This review is from: BoomGear MP-900 256MB MP3 Player/SD Slot/FM Tuner/Voice Recorder (Electronics)
This product is not nearly as misrepresented as the previous reviewer seemed to think. Both the player and the Radio Functionality worked well out of the box. It read preexisting music off of a 1GB chip of music and other files that I had without any problems. It was able to encode MP3s off the radio and from the line in output. The only "conversion" that is required is to change the extension of the file name to ".mp3".
Files easily uploaded to either the devices internal or external memory even without intalling the software that came with it (ie it does act as a USB mass storage device, though you do need the cable). My one gripe is that It has a connector that is not the more popular USB mini B. The auto preset function found not only the "popular" local radio stations but also the stations transmitted at my gym to watch the TVs. I was able to understand the manual. It was clearly written by whose native language was not English, but did contain many graphics and screen shots.

Overall this was a great purchase particularly for those who already have a spare SD chip or 2 sitting around to load music onto.

Be warned. This product is not very good.
