 TEAC
Mini CD/MP3 Player:
Brand new on the market, this model may be hard to find
at first. Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, this
iPaq features an incredible 8-minute skip buffer, rechargeable
batteries, and five equalizer modes. The wired remote
control allows users to see the functions, track, artist
and elapsed time of MP3 songs on the screen while leaving
the player tucked away in a pocket or backpack. Packaged
with the PM-1 is MusicMatch Jukebox 6.0 and Windows Media
7.0 Player software and three blank discs.

RipGo:
This portable doubles as a CD burner. This means you still
need a computer to load music into it, but your computer
doesn't need to have a CD-R drive. Weighing in at eight
ounces, the RipGo is a bit too large to fit in most pockets.
The rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery provides playback
for about five hours; WMA files play for six hours but
MP3 files play for just three hours. Many users may want
to carry a spare battery. When it first came out, the
RipGo cost around $400, but is now available for about
half of that, making it a good buy.
 Sony
MiniDisc Recorder Walkman:
Sony practically invented portable audio with its Walkman
line. This unit continues the legacy with the fastest
PC-to-player transfer times of any unit. It records at
32X, which is quite fast for a portable. The Sony features
very long battery life and an optical line in jack. Like
most recent Sony units it uses the copy-protected Atrac3™
format instead of MP3. This limits the number of times
you can transfer a CD track and is a minor hassle. This
unit uses MiniDiscs, an older technology than mini CDs.
 Sony
MZNH600D:
Now you can save time saving songs with Sony’s new
MZ-NH600D. Thanks to the supplied SonicStage® 2 software,
it’s never been so easy to import, manage and transfer
your downloads directly from your PC. This Hi-MD Walkman
will keep you going for hours, storing up to 45 hours
of music on a single Hi-MD MiniDisc. This Hi-MD Walkman
player records in high-quality ATRAC3plus format and lets
you transfer the most popular Internet audio formats,
including MP3, WMA* and WAV. The MZ-NH600D is also backward
compatible so there’s no problem using any of your
standard MiniDisc media. Easy Jog Dial® Navigation
lets you easily scroll through playlists on the big 3
line LCD display. |
