Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The D-Link DMP-100 is a state-of-the-art MP3 player with an integrated voice recorder. This compact and light player comes with 32 MB of built-in memory. Removable SmartMedia memory cards can be used to double the fixed storage capacity of the DMP-100 to 64 MB (using a 32 MB SmartMedia card), or they can act as a removable storage option for transporting file from computer to computer. The integrated voice recorder records over 2 hours of digital-quality audio through a built-in microphone, enabling you to record ideas, memos, or even full lectures.

Large buttons on the front of the DMP-100 control all major functions. The buttons can be deactivated with a hold switch to ensure that music is not interrupted accidentally. A five-band equalizer allows you to customize the sound, or you can choose from one of many presets. The DMP-100's scrolling LCD screen provides track information including song title and artist. Additional menu commands allow you to delete tracks or change player settings without the player being attached to a PC. Available memory and other information can also be displayed.

D-link's intuitive MP3 and file management software writes and reads data from the DMP-100's internal memory or SmartMedia memory cards via a parallel port interface.

The DMP-100 runs on a single AA battery. The box includes an installation/software CD-ROM, a parallel port cable, a battery, earphones, and a manual.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great player, a few problems, October 26, 2000

I purchased this MP3 player cheap. It's a great deal. It has a voice recorder, good quality, large buttons, the EQ adjustment. There are only a few downsides to it.

1. The parallel port connection. The downloads are a bit slow - maybe about 15 seconds for a normal song. Plus, you may have your printer hooked up to the parallel port. 2. On my songs, the lengths of the songs show up completely wrong. Some songs are reported to be "00:00" long, some are about "15 minutes long." But the playback is correct. 3. They need a backlight for the LCD display.

Overall, the player is great and cheaper than most. If you're not too picky, go ahead and get it. You won't regret it.

The D-Link DMP-100 is a good mp3 player for the price. Voice recording is very useful and sound quality is great! The only downside is the 32 megs of onboard memory. I suggest buying another 32 mb or a 64 mb SmartMedia chip with it. Also goes by the name Pine d'music SM-320v. Great product!

2.0 out of 5 stars Sounds okay...but it's design needs work, November 21, 2001

By 

Eric (New Hampshire, NH USA) - See all my reviews

While the sound quality coming out of the devise is okay...the devise its self (...).

First, The battery cover on the back, is only held shut by a little plastic tab, easily broken with moderate use.

Second, There is no USB support for this product. The only way to transfer music is via a slow serial connection.

Third, While it takes only two batteries, it ought to take more. This thing is a major battery drainer, I can only get 3-4 hours of one charge.

Fourth, No backlight LCD screen. Makes it somewhat hard to see what song is selected in the dark.

Fifth, Only 32mb of space on the player, and while you can get more space with smartmedia cards, a 64mb smart media card costs almost as much as the mp3 player its self.

I would not recommend this player to anyone, unless you are sort of pressed on money. But there are other mp3 players under 200 dollars that are a lot better quality and have more features.
