Average Customer Rating:Comment: Excellent Product Rating:
This is an excellent product! I bought it based on the experience of a friend of mine using the DMG model. The sound is excellent and the design of the hardware. The only thing it miss is: leather case to carry it around and a rugged case to carry the whole thing when u travel. I do not know any place to buy a case for it. Sound is loud enough (specially in a city like Cairo) the remote is enough for me. I rarly use the main unit. I connected it to cheap pair of amplified speakers and the sound was just perfect. Buy it if you did not do that yet!
Comment: A lovable gadget Rating:
I was looking for a good looking, not-too-big not-too-small mp3 player with upgradable memory and most importantly, good sound quality. This player had both, plus plenty of features. Despite it being small and light, really does feel solid and rugged with a nice metallic front.
The player really does run for 24 hours from one AA alkaline battery as it claims, and I got even more from rechargeable 1850mah energiser nimh batteries.
The remote is great, though the joystick is a little fiddly and sensitive, but still felt rugged.
One thing that I felt was missing from the player was the ability to encode directly from an external source.
Overall though I love it and I'l probably buy from MPIO again, though some of the Iriver players look pretty attractive too.
Comment: Buyer beware Rating:
I have a different MP3 from this company, but I need to warn anybody considering a purchase from Digitalway. My MP3 failed within 6 weeks - customer service is impossible to get a hold of, even more difficult to understand than the User Manual, and unwilling to send the return/repair forms. The 120 day warranty is worthless.
