Summary: Nice features and sounds good
Review: Here are my likes and dislikes of this product.Likes: -Easy useability, easy to navigate through menus
-Has what appears to be a stainless steel plate on the front
-Cool blue color backlit lcd
-Expansion up to 512mb
-Sounds good with the headphones it came with
-User Manual was very detailed and easy to understand
-Very lightweight
-Came with a grey leather-like case (not sure it is leather)
-Came with a Duracell battery!! not some off brand, lol
-Software seems easy to use but I use the Windows Media Player plugin that comes with it Dislikes: -You have to remove the leather cover to use usb, which is odd considering they left holes for all the other buttons
-Other than the steel plating on top, overall the buttons and stuff just feel kind of chinsy/cheap. Would have liked to seen at least a thicker plastic for them, considering what you pay for these things.
-There is no cover for the sd/mmc expansion card slot. I can see where dirt will get in very easily if you don't have the leather cover on all the time. Conclusion: Overall I am satisfied with it, just have to see how long it lasts.

Summary: Exactly what I wanted
Review: I am really pleased with this little player! It fits in my pocket and it is intuitive enough that I while I bike can use the controls by feel without much difficulty. (I don't claim to be the wisest person) I can shake the hell out of it, and because it is a flash drive, it never minds. Fits over 3.5 hours of music at 160 kbps without expansion card. Great volume range. Goes from too quiet to hear all the way up to ear damaging. Steps up in volume are quite small so any range I need, I can get! (Nothing worse than getting a music player that won't do loud, or feeling that if you were in-between two volume ranges you would be happiest) The fm radio is great. I've owned maybe a dozen or more different portable fm radios. This ranks among one of the best. It has scanning. Remembers presets. Gets clear reception of weak signals that my Sony could never find. And gets strong channels well. I don't know why but getting the NPR in my area (which has to be one of the strongest signals in the bay area) always was beyond the radios I've used in the past. I am really pleased with this thing. I was torn between this and the sexy looking rio players (like the Cali) but I kept reading that the radios on those were bad. I don't know if that is true, but I can say that this radio is great. Some niggling complaints:
-Hate the battery cover. I don't know when I will snap it off, but I believe I will.
-No cover for the sd card. But perhaps I should be glad about that being that I hate the cover for the battery so much. Duct tape works well, but is a wee bit tacky.
-Short battery life. I think that is the nature of the beast, and that most mp3 players suck AAA batteries down like crack cocaine. I still don't like it.

Summary: everything works well, surprising at the price!
Review: I am surprised how well it does everything. I paid $150 and was expecting mediochre performance for that money. I use it mostly for recording voice and it is very good for this and has hours of recording space and more if you add an SD card. Only problems so far: had to cut a hole in the carrying case for the mic, no provision for an external mic, plastic case fit and look are a let down, software on PC sometimes doesn't recognise the player (shut-down and try again.) This gadget is great-- light, cheap, upgradable, good battery life and data, voice, mp3, FM radio all in one. Hard to beat.

Summary: Great player, Great features, NOT a great user-interface
Review: I got this player just two days back. Its got great features, especially the FM radio and capability to record voice. I find
FM radio very useful as I am more radio person than MP3 person.
Pros:
----
Good quality music, supports upto 320kbps. Supports most popular
formats(MP3, WMA etc)
Got a FM Radio for folks who like Radio when they are
bored with their MP3 music. They can even record the songs.
Decent voice recorder, it looks like can record for long hours.
Even though the LCD screen is small, it is high-resoultion and
very nice color and nice logo to start with.
You can add additional memory, which is a feature not available
in low-end players.
The VoiceText program is interesting, it is reading text docs
pretty well.
Cons(Most important ones)
-----------------------
Buttons are cheap, not very well designed. You have to turn the
palyer to see what each button is. They could atleast paint
red-circle for the record button.
User interface is not intuitively designed. I had to read the
manual to find a way get back to the parent folder. They could
have implemented that in the same navigation button.
The leather case is worst of all, it is the worst case I have
ever seen. With the case, it is very hard to reach the buttons.
Head phones are decently good, but not sitting well in my ears.
The software comes with many pieces, it would have been nice if
all needed features in one program than having to use UniFi for
copying files, Moodlogic to maintain lists, Real-player to record
etc.
Over all
-------
I consider the player to be good, as it is doing its
primary job very good. I suggest it for people who are looking
for low-price with good features type of player, but probably
not for a very serious MP3 music lovers.

Summary: My favorite study partner!!
Review: I love this gadget! It sounds great! Here are some of my favorite highlights:
- it is FLAT, so you can put it in your pocket and still play, pause and record without having to even reach in your pocket
- It will take a 1gb SD card (maybe even bigger, but I'm using a Lexar 1gb card now with no problems), this also helps avoid the USB 1.1 issue, by simply popping the card out and using an SD card reader on your computer to quickly swap out files.
- It looks cool
- It comes with software to take any text (up to 30k at a time) and turn it into an mp3 of that text being read to you by a fairly human sounding voice! I am really impressed by this included software and have been showing it off to all of my friends, who have been equally impressed. For anyone who finds it hard to get all of their reading done, this lets you take it with you anywhere and still be "reading" it (assuming you have the text in a digital format to begin with).
- The voice recorder will record for HOURS at a time, and sounds pretty decent.
- The FM radio is clear and very handy.
- Figuring out how to navigate around is not very difficult, I had it down after the first few hours of fiddling with it, and now find it very natural.
CONS?
Well, the earbuds are pretty cheap (replace them), and the usb and battery covers are also, but there are so many great things about this gadget to be excited about that these things are easily overlooked. I would definitely recommend this item!

Summary: nice features, works well, but could use a lot of work
Review: I picked the Mojo up recently (...). With its expandability options via SD/MMC, it's no doubt a great player for the price I paid. Don't get me wrong, I like my mojo alot and don't regret buying it, but it has some drawbacks to keep in mind if you're going to pay full price for it.
Not so good:
** the 256F Mojo is actually a rebranded MPIO FL100 with a different casing, you'll find this posted in several forums (the Virgin mp3 player also falls into the same category and is also based on the FL100). What this means is that TDK doesn't actually write either the Unify software or the firmware for it. In fact, my unit has old firmware on it but I can't upgrade it because the newer firmware (9/29/03) on www.mpio.com seems to perform hardware checks to see if my mojo is branded as a TDK model or a real MPIO model and TDK hasn't posted any firmware updates.
** the Unify software that comes with it is a good example of poor programming. The application locks up pretty often requiring you to

Summary: not compatible with some programs!
Review: I read the reviews for this and after much comparison shopping, I decided this was the way to go. The only program that you can transfer songs to the mojo with is the Unifi program that comes with it. It does NOT work with Windows Media or Real Player, or the Moodlogic it comes with. Unifi kept freezing and causing me to reformat the mojo. I've had two different Mojos in the past week and experienced the same problem with both of them. TDK Support couldn't figure out the problem, so I figure it must be something on my system....not that I have anything weird on it. When I was able to get a few songs on it, at first they sounded great, then it started making this chirping sound every once in a while. I don't know what my problem has been with this thing, I really wish it would have worked for me.

Summary: An awesome compact player!
Review: I took the plunge and purchased the TDK Mojo 256mb mp3 player. I was originally planning to purchase the 128mb but felt like it was worth it to pay more to get more memory. This is my first mp3 player and I'm very pleased with it and the fact that it has an FM tuner is an added plus. The drag and click song transfer software is very simple to use and the blue backlight is cool. The only downside is that if you aren't expanding the memory there is a portion of the player with a gap for the memory card. The plus is that it comes with a case that covers up the gap. I personally don't like any type of earbuds and have purchased an alternate style of headphones...but the earbuds provided are good as well.

Summary: Good but not perfect
Review: I tried several MP3 players until I decided to get this one. It has a lot of features for the money and works very well. Here are just a few more pros and cons to add: Cons:
The case is extremely cheap and didnt fit well...I tossed it
Ditto for the earphones
Controls are quirky (you cant delete an FM preset, you have to copy an new channel over it. (Not a big issue)
I would have liked a 'clear all' for the FM
Build quality on the cheap side Pros:
Works as advertised
Good FM
Long battery life
Easy MP3 uploads
Very good sound
Very bright backlit panel Overall a good buy.

Summary: Great for the 1 day it lasted
Review: I was quite excited when my Mojo 256 arrived. Had no trouble loading it up with music via the TDK Unifi app or via RealOne Player. Controls are simple to figure out, and the buttons are easy to control by "feel" without having to look at them. Sound quality was great, I liked the "lock" feature for jogging around the neighborhood. However, after 1 day of use, the unit locked up right after I used the RealOne Player's "Format internal memory" feature on the unit and then loaded some songs onto it. It really looked as though the RealOne player had somehow erased the firmware on the unit, as it became completely unresponsive via USB or the LCD; the unit displayed only the battery life indicator, and could only be powered off by taking out the battery. TDK tech support told me that this is impossible as the firmware is on its own ROM chip. In any case, I'm exchanging the defective unit through Amazon with no problem. I have high hopes that the replacement will work fine, as it's a very nice player for the price.
