Summary: A marvel of flawed engineering
Review: This has one thing going for it: it's small and portable. There's so many other portable players around it's impossible to justify buying this. If you are thinking it will sound good in your car's tape deck let me advise you go buy an economy pack of standard normal bias tapes, they sound better. Specific faults:
1. This thing is dyslexic. Sometimes the right channel comes out on the right ear pod, sometimes the left. This seems to be completely random and is terribly annoying. 2. The volume controls on the unit control the tape head volume. What were they thinking? No, no no! Eject and turn the sucker down to get rid of the distortion in a tape deck? Yes, this you must do. 3. Interfacing with your computer is pretty much like rolling dice. You usually have to force initialize the unit and reload the software several times before they talk to each other. The problem is greatly magnified if you are foolish enough to install a Media Card. 4. If you do install a media card you'll find that using forward/back buttons often is pretty much the same as if you had pressed a "random track" button. No such button exists. 5. The equalization feature is akward. I'd prefer the standard bass boost as seen on most portable CD players. 6. Tying to use rewind/fast forward in a tape deck, if you still persist in using it in one after realizing how bad it sounds, is near impossible. Better to eject and use the buttons just like you did to turn the volume to the tape heads down. This is a very poorly engineered device that barely performs as advertised.

Summary: Tivo for your car
Review: This is a great product. It is exactly what I wanted. I spend over an hour driving back and forth to work every day and I wanted a product that would give me control over this time. Before getting the DUO, I mostly spent my time listening to public radio. The trouble with this is that I would catch the last 15 minutes of a really interesting show like Fresh Air or This American Life. Sometimes I spent the entire drive flipping between stations looking for something interesting. With the Digisette I can download great programs and listen to them whenever I want. I now look forward to my commute. I also have a ReplayTV Digital Video Recorder at home and think this product accomplishes the same thing for my commute. I love it. Another comment said that it does not work in German Cars. I have tried it in my BMW and in a Mercedes and both of these worked fine. The only reason I don't give this product five stars is that fast forwarding and rewinding is very slow. If I want to get to the middle of a one hour program I have to hold the fast forward button down for over five minutes. This gets really tiresome. Digisette should copy the ReplayTV unit and add a button that will fast forward 30 seconds every time you push it. Everyone that listens to national public radio in their car should buy this product. Everyone that buys books on tape should buy this product.

Summary: Its good...
Review: Well, I read some of the reviews before I bought this, so I wasn't totally sure that it'd be any good. However its great. Contrary to some people's experiences I have had no problems connecting it to my PC through a USB hub. The software installed seamlessly (on XP). At a sample rate of 96KHz for MP3s I get around 2 CDs onto it at once and they sound great. It plays fine in the car cassette player (which is what it was intended for). You can skip tracks backwards and forwards using RW and FF controls on the cassette player. It goes into power standby mode if you leave it switched on when you leave the car. It takes next to no time to download tracks. And you can use it as a standalone MP3 player. Only two grumbles: 1. It would be nice if it came off standby as soon as the spindles started turning in the cassette player (it doesn't, you have ot take it out and press the play button once). 2. Don't try and upgrade the software that comes with it. I spent 3 frustrating hours trying to sort the mess out before I used the XP 'revert to previous state' feature (boy, am I glad I upgraded to XP). All in all, a neat, easy to use product that delivers on its promises.

Summary: Works with cassette decks with seek function
Review: When I tried this player in my car the first time, I advanced to the next track by using the FF button per manufacturer's directions and noticed that it only advanced a few seconds into the song. Since my deck also had a music seek system which allows me to advance to the next song on a cassette with the touch of a button, I pressed the FWD seek then PLAY just to see what would happen and voila, it advanced to the next song. On another deck without the music seek function, there was no way to jump from one track to another without popping it out of the deck. The inability to skip between tracks is one MAJOR complaint about this product but I found a way around it. Other than that, it's acceptable though overpriced. There's a lot of room for improvement on this mp3 player, I would either wait for another product to come out similar to this or hope that Digisette will improve on some of the pet peeves mentioned by other buyers.

Summary: Digisette Duo-64
Review: Work as advertised.
I us it in the cassette player of my Harley.
Has never failed in any other cassette player I've tested it in.
Only shortcomings the small on/off switch & the belt clip.
The player case should lock into the clip, other wise it's prone to slip out and off.
Other than that an excellent product.
