Brad Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Great deal, Nate - nice and cheap! Anyone here have first-hand experience with these things? Off to find reviews...FWIW, when the first came out with this model and their 20GB model with the integrated digital camera, the 20GB version didn't get great reviews, but this dedicated MP3 player faired a little better for $99 shipped AR, it's hard to find anything better.

Brad Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 http://dapreview.net/content.php?review.149 Conclusion: If you just want a simple, easy-to-use player that's gushing with style-points, the MR-100 is perfect. On the other hand, if you want a DAP with loads of functions and features, this ain't it. The MR-100 is a good alternative to the (wimpy-looking) iPod-Mini... If you can live without on-the-fly playlisting. If you can live with the weird placement of the headphone-jack. If you can live with a player that won't blow out your eardrums, even when you want to. ---- And keep in mind that they were reviewing it as a ~$250 player when it first came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-bystander Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks, Brad! I wonder how the lyrics display thing works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn8 Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks, Brad! I wonder how the lyrics display thing works...I know you can enter the lyrics in the ID3 tag, so you would probably have to use a media player that would get those for you (I know WMP does, now).

Does WMP automatically get the lyrics for you (which version?)? Or do you have to manually enter in the lyrics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you have to manually enter in the lyrics?WMP 10 allows you to do synchronized lyrics, but I guess it's not automatic. Seems to be more of a pain that I originally thought it was. It's possible that you could download tags with lyrics in them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a tag repository out there...? I don't think GraceNote/CDDB has lyrics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn8 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 http://www.zortam.com/ I haven't tried this program, but it's free and it looks like it automatically adds lyrics to your existing ID3 tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-bystander Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'm checking it out right now... might be a nice app to add to the endless A/V apps we already have on our systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
