Summary: Great Mp3 player
Review: The pocket concert is so cool it is so reliable and easy to use. It has a very nice menu setup so are able to find any song quickly. I fit about 30 songs on my pocket concert. The radio is not clear at all tough. It is great if your lookin for an mp3 player get this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great if not limited MP3 player
Review: The pocket concert provides the following qualities - compact, rechargeable, easy downloading, easy to use, and so far reliable. The car adapter works very well for spendthrifts like myself who don't buy new cars or car steros. On the downside, the headset is poor quality and uncomfortable. Memory is not upgradeable but since it doesn't have moving parts, the system is skip proof. I use it for working out or working around the house. I did have some driver issues after upgrading to Windows XP. Intel's website has all of the upgrades but it took about 6 hours for me to finally get it right. I haven't had an issue since. With a better headset, I would have given it 5 stars.

Summary: A Mighy Mite
Review: The sound quality is fine, and the controls are too, once you practice with them. Intel loads an audio instruction file on the unit - a great idea. 128 meg of memory is enough to hold a good two hours worth of music. The stock headphones are more than adequate, a bit better than typical miniphones, but you might try the slightly larger Sennheiser 433's for noticeably better sound. Or, you could spring for the tiny Koss earbuds, and have a portable sound system that fits...all of it... in a shirt pocket.

I just wish it used flash memory, so I could have one card with rock, one with blues, one with CW, one with classical, etc. Of course, that would run to some expense in itself...and modifying the playlist isn't that hard. FM radio reception is weak, but that's probably true of anything that relies on the headphone cord as an antenna (the Sennheiser's help a bit).

Overall, this is one great little device. Let's say 4.75 stars ,there's always room for improvement.

Summary: Pretty good.
Review: This Intel unit offers nice packaging, good quality & a nifty FM radio feature, but the 128 megs of memory make it fairly limited in its capacity. The USB cradle is handy, as is the included case. Newer units are tending toward mega-memory fixed disk hard drives, and I think that approach makes more sense if you're looking for an MP3 player that will grow with you.

Summary: Great MP3
Review: This is a great MP3 Player for any purposes..from work-outs to cook-outs this thing performs beautifuly. It doesn't skip in the least bit, and it holds alot of songs. The accessory kit is a pretty important thing to buy cuz it allows downloads to the MP3 much quicker. The carrying case is great and so are all the extra hook-ups. A over-all INCREDIBLE MP3 player, I recommend it to all!

Summary: Great buy!
Review: This is my first player of its kind that I own and I think it's great. Getting the whole accessory kit with it is definitely the way to go (though I got mine much cheaper than the regular price by buying a "used" one that was still in its original box). I can now rip my CDs and listen to them without lugging around a bulky portable CD player or worry about skipping. When I first got it, there was a slight but distinct hiss during playback. But when contacted Intel about it, they just had me send it back and they sent me a brand new one with no hiss (and I could swear that the FM reception is better too). Apparently, there was a glitch in the hardware of some of the players that were put out.
The headphones it comes with are fine (great sound quality), but since they are foam, I can't really use them when I work out because I sweat a lot and they can get messy. So I just bought some earbuds to use when I work out.
Although this doesn't have the mammoth memory capacity of the I-Pod or the new mp3 player from Rio (20 GB!), it's not like it's really important to me to put my entire cd collection on the player. 128 mb is plenty for me. All in all, I highly recommend it.

Summary: This one is IT!
Review: This is my second MP3 player... I went cheap the first time and bought an I-Jam. I week after I bought it I lost one of the MMC cards and had to replace it. Add on memory turns out to be not that attractive. The Pocket Concert takes advantage of that - save the cost of "upgradeable" memory and build it right into the player. 128 megs - WOW! The sound quality is excellent. Especially since with all that memory you can use higher bitrates. The headphones are good, though nothing beats a pair of noise canceling headphones. Definitely worth the money!

Summary: More than pleased
Review: This MP3 player is by far the best on the market. I received it for my birthday after months of begging for a MP3 player. Initially I was turned off due to the lack of expandable memory, but after owning a Rio with expandable memory for about one day I realized it was more heartache than it was worth. The 128MB memory of the INTEL Pocket Concert is more than enough for my needs. Those reviews bashing the headphone jack of the player are bunk, I have not had a mechanical problem with the player yet and I have owned it for eight months.

The only problem I have had is, having to wrestle it away from my husband...wonder what he is getting for his birthday :)

Summary: Great MP3 Player
Review: This was my first mp3 purchase. I wanted something for the gym that was light yet held a couple hours of music. As soon as it came, I installed the software and transferred some music. The software installation and copying went very well. That was nice to see! The rechargable batteries last a few trips to the gym. Haven't counted but that's about 5 hours, at least. The only gripe I have is the length of the headphone cord. It's gotten caught on the equipment and sent the unit flying off my waist. However, it didn't skip a beat!! I just wrap the cord around the unit a couple of times and that fixed the problem. Overall, IMO, it was a fantastic purchase.
