RCA Pearl 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio and Direct USB (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am baffled by the negative reviews for this thing. My kids got these today for Christmas and so far, they are great! I loaded almost 250 songs in about 5 minutes. It's possible that if you have trouble loading music into this thing, you just don't know how to use your computers file system. You can drag and drop from anywhere you keep your music on your computer or use windows media player to sync it perfectly. The file system is similar to an ipod. You can select from artist, album and song. Great sound. The 1GB is not expandable but for an 8 and 10 yr. old 300 songs is plenty. It's about the size of a Bic lighter. It doesn't have any sort of clip and the software it comes with is not that great but you really don't need it anyway because it's easy enough to drag and drop as i've already mentioned. If your getting this for jogging or the gym or for kids or even audio books, this thing will work fine.

XTR8 Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver and Car Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this product since December 22, 2005. My use typically involves keeping it in my car, and then moving it into my office, and so on. In about March of this year, the radio began to intermittently shut off when I hit bumps or stopped suddenly. I would have to jiggle the power cord (which fits into jack on the side of the radio) in order to make it work. This power outage began to occur more and more often, and then began to become problematic even while the radio was just sitting on the shelf in my office. Calls to Sirius and then to Xact proved frustrating. Xact had unreasonable demands in order to provide warranty service, and didn't offer much help. They were reluctant and, in fact refused to give me the address of the main office of Xact, as I had wished to inform Xact's president of their shoddy service. In any event, as of yesterday, the radio died completely...no power cord jiggling miracle! I can either buy a new radio or send it to them and wait for them to take their time to return it. I am choosing to buy another radio.
While this radio functioned quite nicely at first, it is not reliable, as you can tell from this and the other reviews...terrible customer service from the company exacorbates the situation. Stay away from Xact...

Archos Key 4 GB MP3 Player with Built-In Micro SD Card Reader (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have spent a fortune on finding an ideal MP3 Player, while some met my requirements, almost all failed at two basic things...
Have to carry cables for transfer songs or charging : This is a very basic flaw in a lot of MP3 Players, you need to carry a cable for charging / loading songs / podcasts... and that is very inconvenient when you need it because you end up searching, untangling in vain most of the times.
Ability to browse the songs as I loaded them, and not in some preset sorting like by album / by genre etc. I have gone through a pain staking process of organizing my music into different categories (Gym, Podcasts for learning etc) and getting to my choice of song / item becomes too difficult. Archos had this feature all along.
While this player scores big on these two items. it has a lot of features already advertised which are very useful as well.

The ARCHOS key is a handy MP3 USB key with a handful of great features. Listen to and record your FM radio programs, enjoy your digital music anywhere, and even transmit your music directly to your car radio using the built-in FM transmitter. The key offers 4GB of memory for up to 2000 songs, plus you can use the built-in micro SD card reader to extend the capacity at your convenience.

Big Sound, Small Size With its USB thumb drive form factor, the ARCHOS key makes for a versatile player. It's the perfect companion at the gym or for other fitness activities, commuting to the office, or just listening at home. Enjoy your favorite MP3, WMA, or WAV music/audio files, or go with FM radio.
FM Radio and Transmitter Listen to your favorite radio stations and stay on top of the latest news using the built-in FM Radio. Even better, the key features an FM transmitter, allowing you to tune in your vehicle (or home) stereo to the key's signal, for enjoying your favorite MP3s without cables or bulky external transmitters.
Micro SDHC Slot With 4GB of internal storage capacity you can easily store up to 2,000 songs directly on the ARCHOS Key. For music lovers who need a little more, a Micro SDHC card slot is included. Set up a few different cards and swap 'em out on the go for serious audio options.
Voice Recorder Need to make a grocery list, daily reminders, or record a class lecture? The ARCHOS Key has a built in microphone that will let you make voice recordings. The voice recorder can also record FM Radio on the device, so you can record that new song on the radio and listen to it over and over again.
Retractable USB Connector The ARCHOS key doesn't ship with a sync cable--there's no need for one. The retractable USB connector lets you plug it right in to your PC for easy drag-and-drop file transfers, just like a USB thumb drive. In fact, if you have a couple files you need to take with you, you can throw those on the key as well, since it acts as a USB storage device.
