Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get in the groove with the Nextar MA99T-5GL digital MP3 player, which offers a stylish gunmetal-colored housing that wears easily around your arm. The compact device supports a host of audio formats, including MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF, and WAV, giving you plenty of options when working out at the gym or commuting to work. Listeners will also dig the MP3 player's multiple playback modes, which include repeat play (one or all tracks), shuffle, and browse play. And should you need to record an interview or take a few voice notes, the MA99T handles that, too, with a built-in microphone that records into WAV or ACT format.

Storage-wise, the unit offers 512 MB of flash memory, enough for up to eight hours of MP3 music and 16 hours of WMA audio. The unit's preset equalizer, meanwhile, lets you customize your audio options, with natural, rock, pop, soft, classic, jazz, and digital bass boost settings. Add in an integrated FM radio receiver and recorder--which let you catch up on all your favorite FM programs--and you have everything you need for hours of on-the-go audio entertainment. Other details include USB mass storage capability, a shutdown timer with a sleep mode and a power-save mode to simplify and extend battery use, a full graphics menu with a corresponding text display, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The MA99T, which runs for roughly 10 hours per charge, measures 3.5 by 1.6 by 0.6 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so good...., July 21, 2006

This review is from: Nextar MA99T-5GL 512 MB Digital MP3 Player with FM Radio (Gunmetal) (Electronics)

Whoa...it was broken out of the box. The plastic trim window over the display came off with the protective clear wrap around the music player. I super glued it back on. The whole unit feels cheap and weakly built. The "gun metal" finish scratches *very* easily. The buttons "miss," by that I mean that pressing the next button might trigger the play/pause button instead of next. The menu system is marginal considering the player has 7 buttons on the face. The player has a 2.5MM jack instead of a 3.5MM jack, so now I have to dig up an adapter because it is not mentioned in the item description. I would not have purchased it based on that fact alone. Quite honestly the manufacturer could have easily put a standard jack into the player. I have not had a chance to verify battery life as I just got the package today. There are positives. File transfer is snappy, the screen is easily read, the FM function works well with the right headphones (the headphone cord acts as the antenna.) FM record seems a useless feature, but that is simply my opinion. Voice recording quality is selectable (3 quality settings) and functions well enough to take quick mental notes but it would take you a minute to get there. I bought this for gym use, so I guess I will see how well it goes, but I do consider it disposable at this point due to the poor build quality. There are MUCH better products available for only a few dollars more. I highly recommend finding a different player. My advice: call a friend.

At first i thought it was a good bargain, but this player does not have good quality even for the price, slow control response and poor documentation, my real problem with this player is that the rechargeable battery never worked when i connect the usb cable to charg the battery it starts to connect and disconnect and never charges the battery, so this for me like a disposable player, i hate to say this because i already bought it, but my advice dont buy this poor qualiy player

I spent too many hours trying to get this to work. I have to resist the urge to buy without doing hours of research. Read ALL the reviews first.
