Neuros Review

Posted by michael on from the looking-good dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MP3newswire.net has just posted a lengthy review of the Neuros digital music portable. Just recently the company announced native Linux support for synchronizing the Neuros and we all know that Ogg Vorbis support is promised in the near future, so the unit is drawing a lot of interest. For the most part they liked the player, though they found the unit to be relatively big and heavy for a new generation portable. They also found the file transfer interface to be both impressive and glitchy."

    Much like Slashdot!

    I hope it doesn't contain any unlicensed Unix code like linux has.

    "They also found the file transfer interface to be both impressive and glitchy."

    I always based my buying habits on the premise that the two were mutually exclusive, but I guess I'm just a picky customer.

      Or if it refuses to transfert files at all, it's impressively glitchy :p

  4. Re:These harddrive mp3 players cost too much by larry+bagina · · Score: 4, Funny
    I know what you mean! Yesterday, I went to OfficeMax. I picked out a hard drive (40 gig, $40). I asked the bored teenager if it could play mp3s. He thought it could. I took it home, and opened the box, but I couldn't figure out how to make it play mp3s. It didn't even have a nice case, and doesn't fit in my pocket.

    Maybe i'll just buy an mp3 player.

      Nah, that's just glitches in your impression.

    I found today's PA comic kind of funny and rather fitting. I love my MP3 player, but it is a Rio500 w/128 MB of storage. I haven't seen the need to plunk down the cash for one of these big dogs yet.

    My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.

    If this product cannot reliably transfer music without copious under the hood tweaking, I am not interested.

    Not to be a troll (this is a serious question), but how did you ever get started in Linux with *that* attitude?

    I sure hope not. Then you'll have both SCO and RIAA coming after your ass. Run away!!!!
