4.0 out of 5 stars Overall great inexpensive MP3 player - USB drive!, November 18, 2004

If you're looking for an inexpensive USB drive for storing and transferring files (either music on other types of files), but would also like a portable MP3 player that plays both MP3 and the superior Window Media Audio (WMA) format, this is a great buy!

The menu options of the audio player includes:

Equalizer: (can choose from the following pre-programmed settings: Normal, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Pop, Boom).

Play mode: Normal, Repeat Track, Repeat All, Shuffle, and Shuffle Repeat.

Lockable buttons (have to enter a random set of displayed keys to unlock).

Option to have backlight ON or OFF (power saver).

Contrast: Can change to lighter or darker.

Power saver: Can set the unit to turn off after 1/2/5/10/30 minutes of inactivity, or can be disabled.
--------------------
You can use a media player that can recognize a portable media player to transfer the music files, or you can simply copy the files onto the Jumpdrive audio player. (I use Windows XP with Windows Media player 10).

The battery life is rated at 6 hours for alkaline, and I got at least that. (I usually use rechargeable batteries that are cheaper to use!)

One of the minor drawbacks of the player: if you are in the middle of a list of songs that you are listening to and the unit is turned off, it will not remember where you left off and will start from the beginning.

I use a nicer set of headphone compared to what comes with the player, and the sound quality rivals a nice CD player. This depends of course upon the sampling quality of the file being listened to. For the price, you can't beat it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, inexpensive, and decent features., March 26, 2004

I've been happy with my Lexar Media Jumpdrive. As a USB flash drive that will store any files you drop on it, as well as play about 2 hours of audio in MP3 and WMA format.

Transfering music is as easy as plugging it in. It is automatically picked up by the operating system as a removable drive - no drivers, no CD, works on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, you name it.

The case is durable and fits in my hand well, but could be a bit more substancial. Navigation is fairly intuitive with one joystick that controls all functions.

Sound quality is great... I can't complain about the earbud headphones that it comes with. The backlit screen is easy on the eyes and battery life is pretty decent off of 1 AAA battery (included).

Room for improvement: I'd love a belt clip... the lanyard doesn't do much for me when working out.

I just received mine and I loved it!..It's not really big (128MB) but you can buy a bigger one....the physical size is perfect, not too small, and not big at all...The store is really good, delivered before the time scheduled...awesome!!
My advice is: IF YOU WANT A MP3 PLAYER, BUY IT HERE!
