USB Key-Sized MP3 Player With LCD Display
nhahmada writes "The Muvo MP3 player/storage device from Creative has been out for awhile, but some have complained of its lack of a display or equalizer. Well, now Innogear has released the 128MB Duex mp302 with a backlit LCD supporting ID3 tags, a "multi-category" equalizer and a timer (Why?). The mp302 also has the ability to record/playback voice via its built-in microphone. It can be used for storing any type of file and plays MP3/WMA/WAV. Both the Muvo and mp302 run on one AAA, giving 12 hours of continuous playback. Running at $179, it's a little more expensive than the $169.99 128MB Muvo, but I am willing to shell out ten bucks for an LCD. Go here for a better look at the display."
What I want is an FM radio with MP3 recorder and programmable recording.
So I can record, say, Talk of the Nation on NPR in the morning and listen to it in the afternoon.
Why doesn't anybody make this yet???
Tivo for NPR. It would be great for saving stuff to listen to while driving, for those times when I want to actually use the time to learn something.
I wonder how much damage that LCD can take before it's trashed. Something that small would go everywhere with me. Anyone have any experence with anything like that?
a timer (Why?).
Because when you're working out, you often want to know how long you've been going. "OK, good, i did my 5 minutes of hard running, time for a smoke!", etc. Joggers, treadmill junkies, and other people-who-move are a target audience for these things (remember anti-skip CD players? "Perfect for Runners!")
It'd surprise me if this didn't come with an armband of some sort, either out of the box or as an option.
yeesus, is it that hard to decode ogg files
Doesn't the OGG codec require a lot more processor power to decode?
