Product description

Amazon.com

The D-Link Roq-it 10 GB is a portable hard drive-based MP3 jukebox as well as an external USB hard drive. With a capacity of 10 GB, it provides 150 hours of nonstop music--approximately 250 CDs. It's compatible with MP3, and the firmware is fully upgradable to support new features.

The large, easy-to-read, blue, backlit LCD displays song title, album name, genre, and other track information contained in each MP3 file's ID3 tag. The LCD also displays status of playback and functions. The Roq-it also provides 2 MB of Electronic Shock Protection (ESP) to ensure constant playing without skipping. And it comes with an infrared remote control to control basic play functions.

The equalizer feature has presets for Jazz, Latin, Flat, Rock, and Dance, as well as a custom equalizer setting. The Roq-it provides an audio jack for connection to earphones or playing through speakers. A line-out stereo jack enables connection to an external audio input. The rechargeable lithium-ion batteries provide about eight hours of music, with an average charge time of three hours.

Use the Roq-it as an external hard drive to store your word processing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and graphics for when you need to be mobile. The hard drive compartment can be opened easily to replace the hard drive with separate 2.5-inch hard drives. The capacity of the hard drive is limited only to the capacity of 2.5-inch laptop hard drives available. The Roq-it uses a USB 1.1-compliant connection for transferring audio files.

The D-Link Roq-it is compatible with Windows 98, 2000, Me, and XP and Mac OS 9 and later. It comes with an AC adapter, head phones, a carry pouch, and infrared remote control.

... but when it _doesn't_ work ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2002

Verified Purchase

I bought this product...for my brother...He wanted a way to transfer files from his desktop computer to his laptop from work...it failed to install on his laptop. The instructions say it works with the default drivers from Windows 2000, but when it was plugged in, a driver installation wizard appeared because it couldn't find the drivers. We tried a bunch of things with the supplied driver disk to no avail. The USB-to-IDE adapter inside the unit is a ScanLogic SL11 chipset so we got the development kit installation off the Internet (which was the same as the drivers provided by DLink) but got no further. We gave up on the laptop.
I took a crack at it and successfully installed it on my PowerBook G3 and uploaded a song to it to try it out. It seemed to work okay. I went back and deleted all the files I put on it but apparently took some of the driver files as well by accident. The unit was now crippled and wouldn't work at all. I think there's a way to reload the software from a PC--except that we couldn't get it to connect to a PC. I was pretty disappointed that the "firmware" in the unit was so frail that a little overzealous deleting and you end up with a paperweight.
In all the process a nightmare. I did get a refund and eventually got him a USB powered hard drive instead. The selling features are very strong--a battery powered USB hard drive that can be expanded with larger laptop hard drives and also doubles as a portable MP3 player. Pretty cool ... if it only worked.

Good bang for the buck, has room for improvement.

The first impression was not very good. It's extremely plastiky and feels kind of flimsy. The instruction to install the rechargeable battery is wrong. The included cover/bag does not fit.
Then when I thought about it, a 10GB MP3 player for $229 isn't that bad. Afterall, the MP3 player does work, and it does have 10GB of storage capacity.
The Win98 driver was easy to install, and it detects the connection and detachment of the drive reliably. However, getting this puppy to work under Linux is another story. It is currently not support by kernel 2.4.17, but there is a patch available to add this support. Unfortunately, the patch itself is corrupted by all the character encoding and decoding associated with posting plain text files in HTML form. Long story short, I had to hand edit the patch file to make it work.
Once the patched kernel 2.4.17 recognized Roq-it, I had a lot of fun ripping from my CD collection. It's nice that Roq-it is recognized as a hard disk, but the transfer speed isn't that great.
I think D-Link is heading in the right direction, but they need to pay more attention to quality. There must be ways to improve quality without increasing the cost!

Decent MP3 Player, Good ext drive

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2002

Verified Purchase

The quality of sound coming out of this thing is rather nice...but the weak bass does hurt it.
As an ext drive, it has what you are expecting. Simple to install (on older OS) if you had to, and the newer OS recognizes this drive without any driver installation. Plug into a USB port, then about 5 seconds later this drive is ready for use.
And you can't beat the price - quality ratio. Not the best of Ext Drive or an MP3 player but it does the job. ... the worst that can happen is that you paid alot for a USB 1.0 ext drive.
Can't go wrong if you ask me.

Very Fragile

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2001

Verified Purchase

I have bought this mp3 to be use in my car and home stereo. It is small but it does not fit in a pocket; Also it is a little heavy. The day I recived it, I have started to charge it and at the same time to move my music to it. Then by accident, I unpluged it from the power. The consequences were very bad. It stopped working. It could not access the hard drive. I am not at the US to return it so I hire somebody to fix it. He had to format the hard drive again and to repair a small pin that makes contact with the battery. Now it is working but sometimes it stop working and I have to reset it every time at least once per day. Also It does not organize your songs on the hard drive so it is a mess and If you have a large collection of songs. it will be very boring. The letter case is not very nice. The only good things are the capacity the speed to change songs and the Super screen very nice. (...)

Something Special You Can't Find Elsewhere

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2003

This is not the most advanced Jukebox on the market, in fact it's probably one of the oldest ones available. It's also known as the Neo II but is exactly the same player. It's big, too big to carry like an iPod and the battery will last 6 hours if you are lucky.
Here's the part that I find amazing. First: The sound quality is very good and Second: This player has the most wonderful shuttle capability that I've ever seen!
Here's how I use it: I immediately removed the 10 gig drive, it's as easy as sliding off the removable cover and then slipping the drive out. I replaced it with a (formatted) 40 gig drive and loaded it to the max. Then, I turned it on and selected "Rand All" with the program button and it sits on my desk, pumping wonderful music into my Bose table radio all day long! I never hear a duplicate, the device never fails and it responds instantly when you press "pause" on the wireless remote (included) should a phone call interrupt my flow.
Yes, I have traveled with it; It's been to West Africa and Europe, it's been on countless flights criss-crossing the US and on a plane, driving my Bose noise-cancellation headphones, there's nothing but bliss.
It's been retired to my desk because I do carry an iPod now when I travel but sometimes I still take the Roq-It because the display is so big and beautiful, so much bigger than any other MP3 Jukebox out there.
So depending on what you need it for, this jewel is "the bomb" if you aren't focused on size or battery life - particularly for the price. It's been dependable but there may not be support since it is discontinued.
