New Generation of MP3 Players, New Features

i4u writes "We got our hands on new Flash MP3 Players from two Korean Manufactures. Both players feature audio functions not seen in MP3 Player before, like SRS, WOW and TruBass. The Muzio JM-200 uses a two color OLED display. The Eratech EMP-100 is betting on small size with measurements of only 30x75x16mm." The larger (and stranger looking) JM-200 also lists ogg playback as a feature.

  4. Those features by 91degrees · · Score: 5, Funny

    I love the jargon they come up with to claim they have "features". Here's what they actually mean:

    SRS - "Small rectangular sticker". This is a small sticker in a rectangular shape with the letters "SRS" on it.

    WOW - "Works Over Water". this has been especially designed so that if you try to use it over a body of water it will still work.

    TruBass - Much like TruCalling; If the bass dies it repeats the following day.

    The moral - don't be fooled by marketing hype.

    Why is it that when it comes to tech like this, or cell phones or cool laptops that we always have to wait years???

    Why is it that when we have tech like proportionally spaced fonts some people refuse to use it, even after it has been around for years?

    I find it strange that everyone needs all these "amazing new features" etc. etc. but 99% of the time it won't change how the music sounds at all. I don't see the point of buying a new VCR because mine still works,

    I agree, if somebody listens to Britney Spears it's still going to sound like trash, no matter how many "new features" are added, and porn doesn't need the best quality VCR to still look good.

    Yep, I need something smaller than an iPod Mini. In fact, I had something smaller than an iPod Mini, that cost $60, 128M, MP3 playback, looked like a disk drive to the computer, my daughter broke the USB connection too many times until I couldn't fix it... I've been looking for a replacement since.

    Good luck on finding your new daughter.

    As an aside, my father used to tell me that he could 'take me out' and make another one that looks just like me.

    Like, jacking off over the laptop while watching porn? Or maybe worse, sticking your penis into one of the optical drives? Man, what the HELL do you guys do in there?

    Wow. I've finally met you.

    Everytime I'm at a bar, and some caterwauling douchebag with a Heineken, Leathers, and a Michael Bolton haircut steps onto the "stage" and says, "thank you! we're 'turbo brush fire!'", I sigh to myself, die a little inside and wonder, "Who actually enjoys this shit?"

    Now I know. God bless you. ;)
