Detailed eDigital 512 MXP MP3 Player Description & Review

eDigital: 512 MXP £135.00inc. VAT  &  Delivery

The eDigital 512 MXP. 512 MB MP3 and WMA player. It's about the size of a mobile phone and weighs next to nothing, but what can it do? Store about 480 minutes, or 8 Hours + of music on this MP3 Player. Not only that, if you use Windows Media Audio (WMA files) you can store even more music as the WMA file size is smaller. The fact that its a RAM player means that you can use it while playing sports, jogging, etc. Something that most of the Hard Drive (HD) MP3 Players have trouble with. They are also lighter than any of the HD MP3 Players on the market.

You can even navigate around your tunes using VoiceNav, a speech recognition system. As mentioned this MP3 player comes with 512 MB RAM, but you can buy additional memory (for different genres, for example. Change the postage stamp sized card to change your mood). These little jukeboxes are also compatible with IBM Micro Drives, so you are not limited to a maximum of 512MB storage space or one storage medium. This small scale jukebox will play for about 12 hours between charges. It's ideal for bus or car journeys and it's suitable for exercising with. Best of all it's a bargain, especially relative to other 128MB MP3 players. Compare what you get in terms of spec and capability with any 128 MB MP3 player and then compare the prices.

Internal real-time clock; navigate (search for tunes) while listening to another track; easy and flexible connection to household audio systems via expanded line-out and included cables, and the ability to record live sounds and voice round out this player. Nice package. 512MB is not the limit, it is the starting point.
