External Hard Drive w/player, recorder and radio

After a year...

After about a year, I finally got my hands on the rare Xclef HD-500 80GB. I bought an iRiver, (a similar player), but it can only old 20GB of space. This was a major problem because I have a 39.4GB music collection. The Xclef certaintly takes care of ...

60 gig Mp3 player for less than $300? Heck yeah!

My brother has had several i-Pods, and after getting this product, all I can say is, "WOW!" UPDATE: While all of the proceeding comments are still true, the player can be unpredictable; usually it works, sometimes, it will just get stuck on the ...

Best In Class Sound and Feature Set - Solid Construction

Best in class for: - features - sound quality - batter life Second only to Apple for usability, but still quite usable. Available online at www.digmind.com The feel and quality of the unit provides an impression of a durable and ...

Feature Rich, Sound Quality, Non-Proprietary Audio Formats, VERY Long Battery Life.

Very user friendly (2nd only to Apple), extensive feature set. A bit bulky.

Excellent alternative to an iPod

I have never owned an iPod. When I decided to get an mp3 player, I happened to stumble on the dmc xclef-500. For about $150 less than an iPod, it certainly deserved some looking into. I have had it for about a month now and I love it. It is easy ...

Less expensive than the alternatives.Upgradeable hard drive.Easy to use.

"Airwave" transmitter doesn't work perfectly. You won't be in the "in" crowd.
