<p>just 49$ and u get : 128 MB built in flash memory with skip-free audio playback
Digital voice recorder
Multi-function seven-colour backlit LCD display with ID3 tag
USB V2.0 PC interface
Up to 12 hours play with one AAA battery (included)
Includes stereo earphones, neck strap, software CD-ROM, operating manual </p>
<p>pls tell me is 128 alot, like how many songs u think?
and the digital voice recorder, so i assume that if u put NO songs on it, ull have 128 mb for voice, buthow many minutes is that??
also, whats id3tag?
usb interface, is it just so u can connect to computer?, it CANNOT be used as a usb memory key right???</p>
<p>sorry if i sound out of tune with this high tech stuff, lol, but i just dont know, always just used cd's....</p>
<p>oh and last probably most important question....how do u physically get mp3 songs onto it?? can i use my limewiresongs(all mp3's) and just like iunno copy and paste or cut and paste onto the mp3 player?? </p>
<p>ps. how many kb in a mb again, lol, i think its 1000kb=1mb ,and most songs are in like 2000-5000kb range, so thats like 2-5 mb? which means i can hold 64-20 songs ish?? </p>
<p>thnks so much for ur help</p>
<p>128 mb won't hold a lot of music. Probably less than 50 songs.</p>
<p>i hear its about 32 songs
...but for 50 bucks it seems worth it...specially withvoice recording, which is what? lol and can it be used as a memory key? </p>
<p>so its like 2 cds of music...good enough i think, for my purposes</p>
<p>You sound like a whole bunch of confusion right now, lol. Luckily, you have me right across the hall, and I'm a real tech junkie.</p>
<p>Figure approximately 4MB per song (since the usual mp3's range from 3-5, depending upon bit rate and length). For fifty bucks, you can probably find a device with more memory. I know that for about $100 you can get 1GB (1GB=1000MB) in many different players.</p>
<p>While AAA batteries aren't bad, rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are often better because they last longer and you don't have to pay for replacement batteries. On low-end players, however, they are less common because they raise the overall cost.</p>
<p>With your player, you will recieve a USB cable, that connects to your computer's USB port on one side and your player on the other. There's a chance that you could potentially use this player as a USB key, though it depends on the software and type of connectivity (it might plug right into your PC). I'd have to see the actual player to know for sure.</p>
<p>I have to run out now, but any more questions, feel free to ask.</p>
<p>if you are not going to jog with your player... get a hard drive mp3 player</p>
<p><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_YEPP_YP_MT6Z__1GB_/4505-6495_7-31283823.html?tag=lst%5B/url%5D">http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_YEPP_YP_MT6Z__1GB_/4505-6495_7-31283823.html?tag=lst</a> cnet highly recommends it, specifically if you want to record lectures too. It's got a gigabyte of memory, and it'd be good for jogging too.</p>
<p>As long as you use windows they say...I guess it doesn't work for apple</p>
<p>thnks neighbour, glad to hear ur good at tech stuff, so with the one in my original post, can i like tape a lecture, how long?</p>
<p>another question, how do u actually get the mp3 songs on there? can i use my limewire to easily put it on there, and the whole thing doesnt exaclty have to be le gal right?
lol thnks all</p>
<p>nope doesn't have to be legal. plug it into your computer via USB and use the included software to move the music most likely</p>
<p>thnks all, u can let this thread die out now.</p>
<p>do not post after this</p>
<p>i know this one mp3 player with FM n voice recordin n 40 gigs thats only like $150.......and itll last u a Long long time with the warranty stuff. plus it looks cool n is a much better investment than your $50 thing which will run outta batteries when u need it the most.</p>
<p>The latest concern is having a "Janus Compatible Player." It allows you to use subscription services ($15 a month to put as much of a 1000000 song library on your player as you want). Kind of like renting your music. $5,000 to fill your player @ $1 a song would make for almost 28 years of music at 15 a month. And you'd be limited to 5000 songs one way, whereas you could change the albums on your player every day with a subscription. There are some limitations, but overall I think subscription services are the future of music.</p>
<p>As of yet Apple/iPod aren't compatible, but we'll see just how long they last before they offer their own version of subscription with an iTunes "to go."</p>
<p>I just got an iRiver H10 20GB for free via a warranty on my H120 (I sent it in 3 days before the warranty expired muahaha.)</p>
