Category: accessible Devices
I was wondering if anybody knew of any good 128 or even 256-meg flash-based mp3 players that were reasonably accessible, both in the software you use to put songs into it and just the usability of the device? I'd get a ahrd-drive-based player but that's not in the budget. I know about the MuVo and am told that's prety easy to use. Any others besides that one?
How 'bout the BrailleNote or Pack Mate? Lol? If you ahve one?
I was thinking about something for less than 100 dollars and none of those are it. How rich did you think I was? *grin*
no, i don't know of any other ones. i have the muvo and it pretty easy to use. As i posted before you can get it free from www.audible.com. You have sign up for a years subscription for fourteen ninety five a month. They send your player as soon as you sign up. You get one book a month and a subscription to periodicals. smile- angel. Oh wait you can get one from Walmart i think it is like fifty dollars and is accesible also. I'm not sure what it is called it has a wrist strap sorry that's about all i know about it. the one thing i like about the muvo is, you don't have to have a wire or software, you can just plug it into your usb port pretty easy. I know the one from walmart you have a cord that plugs in. alright i'm done now. lol!
I have the MuVo, as well. I also got it with the audible subscription, and i like it a lot. Its very accessible.
Lol Lab sorry ... but if you already had one that woulda worked fine. I've heard that the Ipod Shuffle works ... I mean Itunes is hard but I've heard it's bearable now.
If you want to find a flash based MP3 player for under $100, good luck, and just FYI, it won't hold much music. But, that's just my opinion...
I can vouch for a 128mb flash player not holding much music, oh you can get a sizable amount if you encode to 32kbps, but that's horrible.
Ya under 100 dollars wouldn't get ya much I don't think, not that I'm an expert, quite the contrary. Maybe 150 would do you a bit better though...
There's the old addage that you get what you pay for, so if ya want fore storage capasity, be prepared to pay more, especially if you choose to go harddrive baced.
Well, I listen to more old-time radio shows than music, and OTR is usually encoded at 32 KB and 22.050 KHZ, so it would probably hold a lot of shows. Problem is, would the decoder inside the given unit be able to handle those low bitrates? I would assume most are designed to only handle music quality files. Anyhow, although they're a tad over 100 dollars, the Iriver IFP 700 and 800 series look promising. They're the only small players Iv'e found that will handle .ogg files.
