3.0 out of 5 stars Nice For the Price..., January 5, 2005

Fairly impressive for the price. Here are my observations so far-

Pros:
* Inexpensive
* Decent sound quality
* Simple to use
* Plugs directly into a USB port
* Tactile-rubberized exterior
* Interesting lanyard/headphone combination

Cons:
* No playlist support
* 8.3 DOS-style filenames in display (makes it hard to tell which song is which)
* Switch for navigating menu/modes seems intuitively backward- pointing left navigates down a list; pointing right navigates up
* Appears to use USB 1.0 for file transfer (which much slower than USB 2.0- probably not a big issue for a smaller player such as this)

I haven't found a way to categorize songs by artist/genre on it yet, although the user guide mentions it can be done (but the directions don't describe how).

Fixing the cons would make this probably the perfect player for me, but I would guess the expected price increase for these improvements might detract from its attractiveness. Did I mention it was inexpensive?

No major regrets so far- I like it, overall.

3.0 out of 5 stars Barebones but functional, January 6, 2005

This is a very no-frills player. I've played around with it for about a month.

The controls, sound quality, construction, battery life and file transfer speed are all adequate, for the price.

My only major criticisms are:
The music files need to be stored flat in their single Music directory. MP3's in subfolders did not appear.
There are repeat modes but no random/shuffle modes. It is not clear how the player decides what order to play songs in.
The sound quality at the very beginning of a song is not good- the first couple moments are slow or choppy (observed for both mp3 and wma formats, ripped at 128 kbps)
Documentation was non-existant. I had to accidentally discover that the toggle switch could also be pressed inwards, activating the main menu for the device (where voice recording, equalizer settings, and other options exist)

Update:
I recently discovered that DRM-encoded music, specifically wma formats that I purchased through an online music store, WILL NOT PLAY in the iClick DMP9.2 player. I contacted the company and they verified this. As the technical information makes no distinction between DRM and non-DRM wma files, this was a surprising discovery. I cannot recommend this product unless you are not interested in utilizing music files purchased online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good little player, January 8, 2005

It has just about everything I would have expected for an MP3 player. The size is really small and I like that it also doubles as a USB drive when you remove the cap. It's handy if you forget your cable.
I was most impressed with the sound quality. At 128kb or 192kb it sounds amazing. All in all I would highly recommend this product. Especially at the price.
