Comment: Nice Little Player Rating:
So far, I've had this mp3 player for about a month now and have come to a few conclusions. I hope it helps you decide if this product is for you.
Small, light weight, cool looking and comes with a headphone necklace that you can wear around your neck or a armbelt and holder if you want to wear it some place else. If you don't plan on wearing it around your neck, then you'll have to invest in another pair of headphones with a longer cord. The sound quality is not bad, not brilliant either, it comes with 5 equalizer pre-settings, but none of which you can personally change. Does not have random/shuffle which would of made this product more appealing. I have purchased rechargeable batteries (Energizer NiMH) and a BIG problem with it is that the battery end is flat on the negative terminal (unlike regular batteries with a notch on the center) which makes inserting and removing the battery very DIFFICULT. I almost had to break open the player, but decided that it wasn't worth damaging since it is new. Now, I have to put a ribbon underneath the battery so that I can change the battery. The battery that came with it does not get stuck. I don't know if other people have had this problem, but my recommendation is to watch out for flat ended batteries as they would get stuck. Software is relatively straight forward. Nice thing about ripping mp3's off the CD is that you can select the bit rate, so you can either get better sound quality or more music on to the player. In my engineering courses, anything more than 128 is undetectable, not unless you're a super audiophile that wants the best, although if that is what you are looking for that, then you might want to consider another player with a higher S/N ratio (this one is 85db; there are others that are higher). Lastly, with my rechargeable batteries, I think I get around 5 hrs worth of music, with regular batteries you'll definitely get more, but since it only has 256MB which is about 65 songs, that is a pretty good life.

MPIO DMK
PROS:
Small streamlined design great for pockets
Easy to use and set-up software
Belt Clip and Armband great for excercising
GREAT SOUND QUALITY!
GREAT PLAYER FOR THE MONEY
CONS:
No voice recorder (i wouldn't use it anyway)
Doesn't Support .WMA but has a software included so you can convert them to .MP3
I love this mp3 player. I was very surprised when I found this under the christmas tree this year. I was jammin' to tunes 30 seconds out of the box. A great accesory for it is the SiLink FM TRANSMITTER - - it transmits any device with an audio jack to a FM Radio.
I would give it five stars, but is doesn't have .WMA capabilities ! ! !
