80 song MP3 player £5

  • 80 tracks is pushing it.

    at a decent quality you would fit 35 (very maximum) tracks on there.

    An "average" 74min album with an "average" of ten tracks on will average a little over 100meg.

    Obviously if you encode to 64kbps you'll fit 70+ on there, but it will sound like something being played over a telephone (and underwater too).

    But for a fiver it'd be grand for the gym - stick an album or two on it and you're sorted.

    My boyfriend bought one of these a couple of days ago and I'm afraid it doesn't work.

    Yep, not really worth the £5 you pay for it.

  • Thanks I got one for my daughter and one for me :-)
  • I have one of these, it's basic but great for the price, especially as it's so easy to load music onto it, it plugs straight into your USB on the computer, and is so tiny - the only problem though is that it doesn't take a standard headphone socket, you can use the in-ear headphones they supply, but you'll have problems if you want to use anything else because the socket is smaller than the standard. I'm still searching for a headphone socket converter! Perhaps maplin electronics.co.uk will have one....
  • I got one of the ten quid ones last year, battery lifeonly about 3 hours, I understand best can last getting on for ten times as long. How much is an extra tenner or so worth in batteries or fade-out frustration????
