Amazon.com Product Description

The Neuros HD80GB isn't just an MP3 player--it's a portable digital audio computer, capable of storing thousands of songs, broadcasting them wirelessly to any FM radio, and recording music via either the built-in FM tuner, microphone, or line-in jack. The HD80GB can store 20,000 CD-quality songs (encoded at 128kbps) on its 80 GB hard drive and works seamlessly with the Neuros Synchronization Manager software on your Windows-based PC to synchronize your library and playlist changes. The Neuros HD player includes these exclusive, innovative features:

• MyFi (My Frequency) digital tuning technology enables convenient wireless high-fidelity playback through any FM radio without wires or connectors. MyFi automatically scans and locates the least populated station available for transmission.
• HiSi (Hear it, Save it) automatic song identification system records an audio sample from music heard on the radio and converts it to a digital fingerprint for identification and access on the Internet.
• Neuros Synchronization System (NeurosSync) is the advanced operating system that automates the transfer of music/files from your PC to the Neuros player, and vice versa. It uses the Neuros Synchronization Manager software application as the conduit for information transfer, and allows management of complete PC library, including future downloads, playlist creation, and song deletions from the device itself.

The Neuros interface includes five programmable preset buttons, a large 128 x 128-pixel high-resolution display and a main scroll-button that allows for easy navigation of the userÕs entire music collection. In addition, an amber backlight display allows for clear visibility in daylight as well as low-light conditions.

It's compatible with MP3 VBR, OGG, WAV, and WMA formats, and transfers files via ultra-fast USB 2.0. You can also use the Neuros HD as a mass storage drive, enabling you to carry important documents and presentations. The Neuros HD player is compatible with Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP. The rechargeable, non-replaceable batteries inside Neuros provide 10 hours of continuous playback. Other features include a removable backpace, which supports future hardware upgrades, and automatic firmware and software upgrades.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neuros - Great Product with Add Ons, August 5, 2004

I've had the 20 gig version of this player for about 2 months and it's great! I was going to buy an ipod - but it didn't do all the bells and whistles I wanted - and the Neuros does. Top on my list is the ability to play my music in my car or at friends houses WITHOUT hooking up wires, or having to have purchased an "accessory". My wife and I take road trips a lot and we alternate which car we use. It's great to just grab the Neuros and be able to play music through the cars system wihtout hooking up anything. I have to say I was skeptical about the quality of the FM playback - but it sounds as good as the cars CD player. Neuros claims to have proprietary digital transmsission technology - and my take is that it works! I also use my Neuros to run with and it never skips. The Neuros has other advanced features and seems to be for an enthusiast like me. Last point - you can buy add-on "backpacks" for the Neuros so you have infinate capacity - without paying for an entire new device. Pretty cool. Now my son wants one for college

5.0 out of 5 stars Did you call Neuros Support?, August 5, 2004

Hi Alan,

I'm sorry to hear you had issues with your Neuros. This is not at all typical of a normal Neuros experience. It is normal that the buttons don't work when the USB is plugged in as it is for accessing/copying data from your PC. If you still have your Neuros and want to give us a call, we can probably walk you through your issues and figure out if there are any hardware problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars would be SO COOL, if it worked ..., June 14, 2005

If you are really considering buying this product, go to the manufacturers webpage and read the forums - http://www.neurosaudio.com/community/forum/default.asp You will see that a VERY LARGE percentage of the people who purchased this product had the same problem. When i bought mine it worked fine for the first few weeks (just long enough for me to get about 60-65 gigs of music onto it from different sources) and then the battery quit on me. That is to say, it turns on for a few seconds, wont let me do anything, then turns off. It also will not charge or function when plugged into the AC adaptor. HOWEVER, i managed to get it to run off of USB power long enough to get my music off it again. I have heard that their customer service is awesome, however, i am in Iraq right now and havent had a chance to talk with them. It is really depressing too because this is obviously the most innovative and feature-packed player out there. Plus the 80GB size is hard to beat. Also, if you are considering jogging/running with this thing, good luck, its pretty huge.
