anyone know if this product/retailer is any good? thats a damn cheap price.

 

[greg]

Well, I bought one...we'll see how it goes. I have to replace my venerable RIO from ValueAmerica (RIP sniff)

 

[apothos]

That is a sweet price, thanks greg

[edit]Found an article about the company, so at least they aren't just some small upstart or scam site. No feedback on ResellerRatings for them yet though.

haha, that makes me feel really nostalgic. that is still one of the greatest internet deals of all time. half off for ANY purchase up to $200.

>> half off for ANY purchase up to $200.

The REAL beauty was that there was unlimited "memberships" heheh.

Here is the website from the manufacturer, unfortunately it's all in german (i think) ..
looks good, just missing an lcd display.
It says only takes up to 128MB CF cards, but does anyone know about about higher capacity cards?

I ordered one. For $25 it's worth a shot. I have the Lyra that uses CF but you have to use their piracy thingamabob.

They make a hell of a lot of products don't they? Some of that stuff is ugly as hell! but for 19 beans, who cares. Cheers.

I've never owned one of these, but I do have one of the early memorex CD-MP3 players. One of the problems I have with the memorex is that is occasionally drops a half second or so of music. Do the card based players do this as well? If they don't then this is a much hotter deal for me. (of course it is only $20...)

 

[Zontor]

Thanks for the deal! I read some translated reviews of the unit, it seems OK (although the headphones suck but what did you expect for $20?) Now all I need is a good deal on a CF reader.....

This will be a perfect use for the 128MB CF card that I don't use anymore because I got a microdrive.

I have 5 or 6 sets of headphones laying around. The headphones aren't built-in are they?

 

[DowntownII]

Ahh, what the heck, I ordered one - for $20 I couldn't resist

Great deal, thanks Greg.

Sorry about the blank post above, I goofed.

 

[kerokeroppi82]

I have one of these from the buy.com deal of the day deal, I'll sell it for $20 shipped brand new if anyone wants it. Same exact model and brand new. PM me if your interested

 

[Atrac]

The only negative thing I can see about this unit is that it doesn't have any kind of LCD Display. But for jogging or working out, I suppose you're more interested in looking around the gym than staring at a display. heh heh

 

[bonk102]

looks like it could be good, thanks for the post

 

[joemi]

Jumped on this one too... looks like itll be good to use while mowing the yard, won't stress if I drop it a few times

 

[SLEEPER5555]

here is the only down side i see "Uses Type I CompactFlash up to 128MB" It does not support higher than 128mb and does not support microdrive! Unless someone knows where to get a bios update???????

 

[XFreebie]

microdrive would chew batteries for breakfast, plus higher capacity CF cards use more battery power as well.

 

[maxint]

I just picked one up.. lets hope for the best.... so i still need to buy a CF card.. and a cf reader????
