5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be an IPod sheep, August 24, 2004

By 

Tommy B (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: iAUDIO M3-20SL-CR 20 GB MP3 Jukebox with FM Radio and Voice Recorder with Cradle (Metal Silver) (Electronics)

I was torn between the IRiver, IPod and the IAudio. The IRiver was about to go out of production and was just a bit too big so no thanks. I read sooo many reviews and came to one simple conclusion. People who buy the IPods are sheeps - Baaaah! Loads of people slated this product who hadn't even used it and they all seemed to be IPod owners - Heeelllloooo! I admit the IPod looks cool but that's about it - For the record I think the IAudio looks better!

I purchased the IAudio M3 and haven't looked back. With a pair of decent Sony headphones the sound quility is quite amazing! You get all the equipment in the box including 2 docking units, remote control and carry case. It is plug and play on any PC with Win ME plus so no need for drivers - simply drag and drop the MP3's (or any other files). Also records and has a radio....need I go on?

Don't be duped into an IPod just cos everyone else has!

Only small downfall is no screen on main unit - a very small issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars appreciated by an ex ipod user, August 7, 2004

If you are a person that is not technically inclined and is incapable of reading a manual I might recommend the iPod. However, taking the minutely more confusing path pays off exponentially. The features offered by the m3 are far more powerful and useful than those of the iPod.

Before buying the unit you might want to get familiar with possible problems, resolutions and features over at iaudio.com.

A friend of mine uses the iRiver. The most significant difference I can find between them is the fact that the iAudio has no primary screen on the unit and looks much nicer. I am quite happy having made the change to a unit that is not a cliche status symbol (as is the iPod); the iAudio M3 is cool on its own merits not because "everybody else is doing it".

One quick reminder: update the firmware straight out of the box (if this sounds hard, don't worry; it's not)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, June 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: iAUDIO M3-20SL-CR 20 GB MP3 Jukebox with FM Radio and Voice Recorder with Cradle (Metal Silver) (Electronics)

it is really tiny and ultra slim. Amazing! Great sound quality, ton of features such as fm, recording, inline recording¡¦ you name whatever you want, , and basically, everything I need. Why people like iPod? I really don¡¯t understand. Once you use this great gadget, you¡¯ll never go back to iPod.

One thing it missed is display. But once you are familiar with the main body and know all the control, you don¡¯t need to see the display anymore. It will be attached in your hand. And you are feeling everything inside your hand. you will not even think about other MP3 players. The great BBE sound also makes your ears perfect!
