Sonically and Technically Outstanding,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: i2Go eGo 96MB MP3 Player (Blue) (Electronics)
This player is technically far superior to the competition. In many ways, it provides a "system" approach to MP3 music management and playback. Easily add a second memory card (CompactFlash ll). And the hardware expandability! An internal expansion slot for hardware additions and upgrades- promises outstanding future possibilities, for example microdrives, docking stations,advanced memory cards, wireless MP3 streaming, etc.,etc. No other player has such insurance against becoming obsolete. The intelligence and sound quality in the internal player software is impressive (and upgradeable by downloading free updates). Set the bass and trebel (digital settings) while a song is playing, and it will be remembered for every playback of that song. Set them while no song is playing, and the settings will be used for all songs that don't have their own settings. The provided "musicmatch" software is a quality 3rd party product and considered among the best for creating MP3s. And the MP3 file management software supports drag and drop transfers. Car power cords, wall outlet power transformer, cassette player adapter, USB cable, belt clip are all provided. My only complaint-plan to get a set of headphones, the provided earbuds are for emergencies only!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Overall, it's the best MP3 player for your money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: i2Go eGo 96MB MP3 Player (Blue) (Electronics)
Overall, this player packs more punch than all the others. No other player can compete in storage capacity, and the eGo has more innovative features, such as MP3Mail and Interactivity. Using the i2Go website, you can customize your own news, sports, and weather content for downloading to your eGo. The eGo can also load an IBM microdrive for a whopping 340mb of storage space, or 680mb if you buy two microdrives and the optional Compact Flash Expansion Slot! Also, it's not locked into a certain amount of memory, you can add more as the technology improves. It's also slick-looking and perfect for the car. The eGo is a great product and well worth the money.

Great Sound and Ease of Use,
By
This review is from: i2Go eGo 96MB MP3 Player (Blue) (Electronics)
I bought the Ego for car, workouts & work. My digital camera also uses CF cards so I can use them for both. My Ego uses 2 64 MB cards but I can use any combination of CF or IBM Microdrives. Loading music is simple drag and drop with the USB connection. With a total of 128 MB I can load about 2 CD's worth of quality MP3's and vary the playlist with ease. I found that with the company's message board that I could get answers to questions within 24 hrs or less on weekdays. The company has just recently switched from MP3agent software to Media Manager which seems to have solved some problems previous users had suffered. The firmware is flashable so they are regularly updating. I did not like the earbuds that came with the unit. I added a pair of Koss KSC35 clipons that stay on while I workout and sound immensely better.
