1gb Mp3 Player For £79.99

mikeyboy33

This player is an OLED screen one with USB 2.0, FM radio built in, and a line out.
This looks a really good buy but i can't decide on whether to buy this one http://www.belkoo.com/acatalog/zcdscsz.html .

or the one from ebuyer which has been mentioned before http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=83145&_LOC=UK

Not sure id the ebuyer one has a line out and is USB 2.0 tho?

Anyone know if the one from belkoo.com is any good? or if its better than the ebuyer one? They're about the same price.
Also i've not heard of belkoo.com before.Are they a reputable business?

Any help will be appreciated.

I've never heard of Belkoo before either, but it'll be just another Chinese manufacturer/badge like so many things, so I wouldn't worry. The organic LED display is interesting but it's a shame the pictures on the site are so out of focus - I wonder if they're trying to hide something?

You can use the headphone outlet as a line out. It can be argued that the quality won't be so good, but in practice the difference should be inaudible.

I have a suspicion that USB2 will mean very little: the transfer speed (at least for writing) could well be limited by the write time of the memory anyway. I can imagine that it might even be USB1.1, but as this is compatible with USB2, some people are dishonestly calling it USB2. Sustained read and write speeds are the figures that matter.

If you're prepared to bid on eBay you can find 1GB players with radio and voice recording for about £60, which are located in the UK so you don't have to wait for ages, risk getting stung by Customs, and pay a fortune to return them if they are dead on arrival or die later. These don't come with rechargeable batteries so you'd have to factor in a set of AAAs and a charger.

I bought a USB kinda one from ebyer last week, 512 which can have another 512 Card added to it, although the battery life is crape. (ive added a duracel + so see how that fairs)

Can this be used to transfer data aswell like the usb MP3's?
