Customer Review: Sony NWDB105BC 2GB drag & drop Mp3 player
Nice dinky little device with painfully slow file transfer and woeful little earbuds .I have no idea what this device sounds like through them as they absolutely refuse to stay in my ears.It has taken me about 25 minutes so far to tranfer about a dozen albums,irritating.
Customer Review: Nice MP3 Player - Shame about the shuffle!
There are quite a lot of things that I love about this MP3 player. I think the sound quality is superb, it is extremely compact and slips into your pocket easily, it is easy to navigate around and the controls are simple to use. Plus, I really like the fact that it is rechargable and that there are no cables - it just plugs straight into your PC or to a USB adaptor. However, as other reviewers have reported, the shuffle function is an absolute disaster. I cannot understand why Sony have allowed this product onto the market without sorting this out first. Although I have almost 500 tracks on my player, I just hear the same few songs over and over again. It is so frustrating, and really such a shame as it is the only bad thing I have to say about this otherwise excellent product.

2Gb Audio Pro (Samsung Memory) USB2 MP3 Player with FM - Blue
The perfect player to pop in your pocket and take with you everywhere you go. It stores all your files and your music, as well as having some great functions and a tremendous 18 Hour battery life.

Apple iPod Radio Remote
IPOD RADIO REMOTE & HEADPHONES . IN

Customer Review: Good remote…..Bad radio
I would back up what previous reviewers have said. The remote is pretty good and very convenient. However, the radio is mediocre to poor. You have to be in fairly open area to get good reception. It works ok on the train but indoors I can only get one station. It’s not used in a remote area either, this is in Central London. Bought for the radio so in all it has been a bit of a disapointment!

Customer Review: Excellent remote but mediocre radio reception
First of all; my impression/opinion on the radio function of this is that its mediocre at best. The radio reception can be OK then the next minute it will be crackly, I will also add that I went into the settings on my iPod (which it tells you to do in the radio remote’s instruction guide) and choose the correct country for radio frequency purposes, but it didn’t make any real difference, so like I have said the radio function for me is mediocre at best.

After plugging in the radio remote, there will be a new menu feature called radio; if you select this and then press and hold the back or forward button, the iPod will tune to the next available radio station, if the signal is strong enough you will receive RDS (this is a feature that shows the station name and other relevant station information). But to be honest my sole reason for purchasing this was for the remote control function and this function works very well. I also considered the Monster wireless remote but this was around ?20-25 more than the Apple radio remote, and also the Monster was criticised that when the volume was turned up slightly it could on occasions keep on going up till it reached maximum. But like I have said the sole reason for purchasing the radio remote was for the remote control feature and this it does VERY WELL!

The radio remote connects into the iPod’s docking port (this is the port/socket at the bottom of the iPod). According to Apple’s website the radio remote is compatible with the following iPod’s: iPod nano 1st generation, iPod with video, iPod nano 2nd generation (aluminium), iPod nano, iPod classic.

After you plug the radio remote into the iPod you then connect your earphones/headphones into the jack which is on the radio remote. Also supplied with the radio remote are a pair of Apple earphones, but you can use any earphones or headphones that you so wish. Once I have plugged everything in I normally lock the iPod’s controls with its hold button, slip the iPod into my inside jacket pocket and clip the remote on to the front of my jacket and now I am able to control the iPod without having to take it out of my pocket.

The buttons on the radio remote are of a similar layout to the iPod’s, skip/search forward, skip/search back, play/pause (this is a large button in the centre of the remote, also, if you press and hold this button it will switch the iPod on or off) there is also buttons for volume up and volume down, last but not least is the hold button, this functions in the same way as the hold button on the iPod, I.E. it locks all the buttons so that if any are pressed they will not function, for example if you wanted to use the buttons on the iPod rather than the buttons on the radio remote.

All in all I can only recommend the radio remote for the remote control feature as it does this very well and with no problems, but if you are purchasing this for the radio feature, then it is a bit of a hit and miss affair as far as reception goes.
