i2Go eGo 96MB MP3 Player (Blue)

Rating:
Summary: Best of the bad
Review: This player is technically far superior to the competition. In many ways, it provides a "system" approach to MP3 music management and playback. Easily add a second memory card (CompactFlash ll). And the hardware expandability! An internal expansion slot for hardware additions and upgrades- promises outstanding future possibilities, for example microdrives, docking stations,advanced memory cards, wireless MP3 streaming, etc.,etc. No other player has such insurance against becoming obsolete. The intelligence and sound quality in the internal player software is impressive (and upgradeable by downloading free updates). Set the bass and trebel (digital settings) while a song is playing, and it will be remembered for every playback of that song. Set them while no song is playing, and the settings will be used for all songs that don't have their own settings. The provided "musicmatch" software is a quality 3rd party product and considered among the best for creating MP3s. And the MP3 file management software supports drag and drop transfers. Car power cords, wall outlet power transformer, cassette player adapter, USB cable, belt clip are all provided. My only complaint-plan to get a set of headphones, the provided earbuds are for emergencies only!
