Rating: Summary: very good except for flaky display Review: I spent a lot of time looking at these and I hope someone finds this information useful. The player is *really* small (like a stack of 10 or so credit cards), and very light- but also very loud and with great sound quality. The extra features are what make this thing cool- the record feature is just phenomenal, it sounds very god and is extremely useful.The earbud headphones that come with it aren't so great, but if you're investing this much a $10 pair of decent headphones is worthwhile. You'll have to either use 56kb mp3's or else buy the expansion card- or else you'll be stuck with about 4 or 5 songs. But 56k sounds pretty good. I had no problems with the software. Finally, there is the display- it flakes out on me for no apparent reason. I can read it, but it's sometimes it fades away. Usually it's not a big problem, but if you want to be certain you're recording something and you only get one shot it's a little annoying. Unfortunately I heard these were being discontinued, and I think the reason is that this product cannibalizes sales from the more expensive players that have higher markups, so they can't get them on the shelves anywhere- but that's just a theory.
Rating: Summary: The best player............and the worst. Review: I've read all 20 reveiws on this Mp3 player. Half claim it stinks and to get the Diamond Rio. The other half say that it's the best player around and that the Diamond stinks. I'm tempted to get a mini-disc because I've heard so much about how great they are. Then I read another reveiw and it says to buy a Mp3 player, not a mini-disc. Can someone that has bought or know someone who has bought this product or one like it give me a straight answer. I'd appreciate someone telling what the real deal about these things are, it's ups, it's downs. Thanks
Rating: Summary: Dont buy an mp3 player! Review: If you are rich as hell, go ahead and buy it. But for the price your paying for this, you could get a great Mini Disk player, and even plenty of discs for over 2,000 minutes of recording time. Dont believe me? Goto the Mini Disc section and do the math! Even better, you can record mp3's onto the MiniDisk players, you can also record your voice, your playstation/N64/Dreamcast, VCR, TV, Radio, Tape, everything! I almost bought an mp3 player, and im glad i didn't. MP3's are too expensive compared to Mini-Disks, and if you look at the Mini Disk trend right now, its exactly like the CD trend 10 years ago. They are already making Mini Disk drives fro computers to store info. Just check out the Mini Disks before you buy this, trust me, you'll thank me. If you have any questions, email me, Ill answer them asap!
Rating: Summary: ? Review: It took me a while to decide on a player and my choice was based on price alone. At $200AU the D'Music was the cheapest available. Using the Fraunhofer MP3 codec I can fit between 2 and 32 songs in the 32MB of memory at amazing quality. Motherboard support is a little limited and while mine works, a friend couldnt use it...no matter what his port settings were. Buy with caution!

Rating: Summary: IT's kool once u work it out Review: Most people don't relize that u ahve to change your printer port to ecp mode in system bois once u have done taht it runs sweet as!
Rating: Summary: The Best mp3 player out there! Review: My name is Anny, i'm a student, and recently bought the SM-320V, and i absolutely love it. I am a runner, and the compact size and sound quality makes my daily run much more enjoyable, my friend bought the Diamond, but after listening to mine, was very upset that she wasted her money on such garbage! As i mentioned, i'm a student, and i use the mp3 player to record my lectures, this is an awesome product, much better than the diamond.
Rating: Summary: Lots o' Bang for the Buck! Review: Notice how half of the bad reviews are from people who have never even used this unit? The others are from people that didn't read the manual and set their printer port to ECP mode. As long as you don't use MP3s with bitrates other than 128kbps, this is a fantastic player. Yes, it will play MP3s with bitrates lower than 128k, but you may have to put up with some odd display behavior at best and you may have to reinstall the download software at worst. It is small, light, runs forever on 2 AA batteries, has a great voice record feature, SmartMedia expansion slot, A-B looping (great for figuring out that guitar riff), a nice EQ, and it's cheap (relatively). It would be nice if it used USB (but at least it doesn't use serial), but the parallel port isn't *that* slow. D-Link sells this player under the name DMP-100.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS THE WORST PLAYER ON THE MARKET! Review: OK SO I GET AND OPEN THIS DMUSIC MP3 PLAYER AND I PLUG IT IN AND INSTALL THE SOFTWARE I NEED TO DOWNLOAD SONGS ONTO THIS SMALL PLAYER... I TRY TO TRANSFER AND IT KEEPS SAYING" CANNOT COMMUNICATE TO PLAYER" CONSTANTLY, AND I HAD TO SHUT OFF MY COMPUTER CAUSE THE PROGRAM FREEZED IT! PLEASE TAKE PROCAUTION WHEN YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT! HORRIBLE!
Rating: Summary: BEWARE! Review: Please BEWARE when considering the Pine Technology SM-320V D'music MP3 player. The first one that I received would not turn on at all, even with fresh batteries. I received a replacement from AMAZON in a timely fashion (thanks, Amazon!). However, while the replacement unit would turn on, it would not turn off! Please consider carefully before purchasing this unit.
