Summary: Great solution for mp3/wma listening and recording
Review: Before I rave on about how great this product, let me just say up front that it is not the best mp3/wma player, nor is it the best recorder... but it is the best for doing both. I purchased the player because I wanted to listen to my digital music away from home. I purchased the Ripflash DX because I wanted to make digital recordings of the high school choirs that I teach. Because the DX records in WMA format, it is able to compress near-CD quality sound and transfer it to my computer without sending it through my sound card using a LINE IN or MIC port. With the ability to change the recording bitrate and the option for another 128MB, the recording options are near limitless.

Summary: REMARKABLE RECORDER/PLAYER for its size and price.
Review: Hey you CAN'T have everything, especially in such a small package. Simple to use, just always use recharged batteries, use Ripflash DX mgr to upload to PC, Cakewalk Pyro 2003 to convert, and watch your memory available (or put in another SD card), and you shouldn't have any problems. I use mine EVERY WEEK, and I can't express how WONDERFUL this recorder is to carry around and use to record music lessons and live jams. REMARKABLE SOUND FOR SUCH A SMALL DEVICE!

Summary: Super sucks!
Review: I bought this product in June 2003. It stopped working 3 months later.
First it turned itself off abruptly with NO REASONS. - 1st month
Then strange characters start showing up. - 2nd month
Then nothing showed up on LED and no key works. - 3rd month
I don't think a 128MB MP3 player is supposed only to work for 3 months.
Be cautious of this product.

Summary: Impractical Software/Incompatible with some WMA files
Review: I could not believe it... what a wonderful sleek little thing, very sporty, cool-looking device. That is, on the outside. What I guess they forgot to tell you that wma files (Windows audio media format) created with Windows Media 7 is not supported by PoGo! I get the message: "The file is not supported in RipFlash-DX.
We do not service WMA files applied with DRM" Gosh, wouldn't that have been nice to know before shelling out over $ That presents a bit of a problem since most of my files are created in this format. Also, the engineers behind the music manager software that came with the device should go back to the drawing board. Never have I seen such an uninspired layout and poor use of screen real estate. It has barely any features. Finally, who wrote the manual...? I cannot believe the poor quality of the English in there. I hope to God that the person who wrote that manual doesn't rely on English as his first language. Honestly, if PoGo want to charge $ for a device of like this, fine. But they need to tend to the details/compatibility/documentation issues a little better. Disappointed!

Summary: good wma player
Review: I listen to it everyday.
I had few problem installing because there is a problem with ripflash usb cable but if you replace with any other usb cable it works fine.
Do not forget to update the software available at pogo internet site otherwise you will not be able to download audio with long titles.
Another problem is that it get scrached very easily
The battery does not last for 10hours it is more likely it will last for about 5 hours just like any other mp3 playes. I got a recharger.
In sum the sound is great ,the price is cheap, and it does what is supposed to do.

Summary: Another case of no support
Review: I purchased this product for it's small size, expandability, and standard battery use. That's all it offered. The product does not appear to be compatable with Windows Media Player, and crashes at every turn. Support is the problem, non-existant, even the online registration fails to perform properly. I have several audio programs installed and this may be causing the conflict, but who knows, since customer service/support fails to be of any assistance.

Summary: Nice
Review: I searched for at least a week on-line looking for an inexpensive player with excellent quality. I read many helpful reviews and no I listen to it everyday. The battery lasts at least 12 hours, sound quality is stupendous, easy to use, small and just overall excellent!

Summary: 8 Hour Voice Recorder at Great Price!
Review: I was looking at digital voice recorders w/ 5+ hrs recording time and they were all $150+, so I decided why not get an MP3 and have some extra bang for my buck? Not only is the quality on this better than my cheapy old recorder, but it was only $120 (not bad considering the dual function!), has 8 hrs recording time, the file types convert and then there is the whole MP3 thing so I can plug this into the CD player in my car. DRAWBACKS: Scratches easily/buttons activate easily (TIP-TRAVEL SOAP DISHES ARE PERFECT SIZE FOR A CASE!!), the software BITES (you'll have to restart your computer, reattach cables, yikes!), and it is kinda fussy about the batteries. I am forever opening and closing the battery door to get it to work for some reason. All in all I definitely got what I paid for and certainly am happy with it.
