1 out of 5 stars "Died" after finally getting it to work.......2007-10-28

I really wanted to like this player. My favorite colors are in the red "family" and the color black, and this player looked sharp, "cute" and simple. If only it performed as well.

At first it could not detect my computer (I have Windows Vista), so I feared compatibility issues, even though the box indicated it was Vista-ready. Once it finally recognized my laptop, I had to try and learn how to program the thing. Although this was my first mp3 player, I didn't expect it to be that hard to use. But I think the problem was simply that the player is defintitely not user-friendly. I can't tell you how many times I had to revert to the manual to do just about anything. I am not a stupid person by any means; I just found that the player is not very intuitive. You basically have two different buttons to navigate with ("menu" and "mode"), but where you go depends on how LONG you press each button. Pressing quickly brings you to one "place"; pressing a little longer, another. Then once you get to this particular "sub-level", so to speak, you need to navigate THAT level to get to where you truly want to be. I found it overly complicated and tedious.

On the plus side, the earphones are great (soundwise). I have a "regular" pair of Sennheissers, and they can't be beat..however, I find earphone plugs to be rather uncomfortable and sometimes struggle to keep them in my ears. That is a downside, to me.

Anyway..long story short: After spending hours figuring the player out and adding songs and programming the radio, the player suddenly decided to stop working. Tsk..and just when I was thinking I might be able to live with the players idiosyncrasies.

So now the player is on its way back to Amazon, and I've barely had it for 24 hours. I hope anyone else who decides to buy it has a better experience then I did. As for me, if I've learned anything, it's actually that I probably need to get a "bigger" (i.e more memory) player, anyway. ;-)

5 out of 5 stars Wow!!!.......2007-02-10

I had a iRiver T10 1 GB MP3 Player and tossed it in frustration. I purchased this player (TrekStor i.Beat Organix FM 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Tuner) because it behaves like a flash drive - not dependent on Windows Media Player (you can use it, but don't have to.) I use it constantly. It is highly configurable, easy to figure out without the manual, has a long battery life and sounds great. It feels much nicer than the iRiver, the buttons are great. It supports many file formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, ASF. Best of all it can use DRM but is not a slave to DRM. Next I'm buying the TREKSTOR 67136 Datastation Pocket x.u Portable 160GB Hard Drive & TREKSTOR 12GB USB-Stick CS-D Drive.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent weather radio.......2007-09-09

    I returned a Midland WR300 weather radio because I was unhappy with it and purchased a Reecom 1650. (See my previous review on that radio).

    I am very happy with my Reecom 1650 radio. It is easier to program than the Midland, has all of the updated 2004 operational codes that my Midland did not have and has a better users manual. It also has additional features that the Midland did not have such as an alarm out socket that is compatible with X-10 devices and an additional audio out socket that can be used to interface with a PA system or bigger speaker. The AM/FM radio/alarm portion is easy to program and set to use as a personal alarm clock. The radio reception is very strong, I would imagine that if you are in a remote area, it will be able to pick up the NOAA transmitter signals very well. I am able to leave the antenna in the retracted position and hear all of the radio stations clearly (I am in the located in the city). The manual states that on battery power, it will power the radio up to 40 hours in standby mode. That is significantly longer than reported by other users of the Midland radio.

    I see only a couple of downsides to this radio in comparison with others.
    1) The display is good, but there are better displays out there that are clearer and easier to see at night. It has a backlight, but it is the light green color that illuminates from the bottom of the display. It does not help during the day. (This is not really an issue)
    2) There are no predrilled holes for mounting this unit on the wall. (Not a big deal for me, since it will sit on my desk as a clock/radio combo and I could always rig something up, or use adhesive tape if necessary)

    After shopping for other weather radios and my experience with the Midland, in my opinion, this is the best weather alert radio out there right now.

    3 out of 5 stars Works but with annoying minor differences from standard Tivo remote.......2007-10-25

    If you're used to using a standard Tivo Series 2/3 remote, this one will take a little getting used to. The TV Power and TV Input buttons are below the Instant Replay and Skip buttons instead of in the upper left corner of the keypad, and the Window/Aspect button is moved up to where the TV Power button should be. The slider normally used to switch between controlling 2 Tivos selects between controlling the Tivo and controlling the TV (which means only that the Channel Up/Down button controls the TV tuner when the slider is pushed to the right.) You actually can control two Tivos with this remote but it's complicated; you must reprogram the remote each time you want to switch devices. This product does, however, control the TiVo without requiring you to point the emitter directly at the DVR and all other keys have familiar positions and functions.
