2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, February 14, 2004

By 

Dakota - See all my reviews

This review is from: Digitalway MPIO FD100 128 MB MP3 Player (Electronics)

This mp3 player functioned without any problems when I first got it. But after two months all of my files got erased even though both the player and program said my memory had been taken up. I had to format the internal memory, and reupload my files. The files would often freeze whenever I tried to upload them or delete them from the player. This player is a hassle to maintain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good mp3 player, October 3, 2003

Lyo Kori (San Francisco, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Digitalway MPIO FD100 128 MB MP3 Player (Electronics)

This Mp3 player comes with just a ton of different little features. The ability to record the ability to hear FM radio and the ability to record FM radio. Also the 7 different EQ settings works great. The little remote is very convenient and overall I love the size, extras and abilities of this mp3 player. The only thing I dont like is the volume is a bit underpowered. They work well with earbuds but not headphones or headsets. So make sure to get the mp3 player with a set of ear buds. I got the panasonic RP-HV28 and they make it sound a lot better.
