512mb mp3 players
From its uninspired name to its been-there, played-that feature set, the SanDisk Digital Audio Player brings little innovation to the flash-player table. We tested the 512MB MP3 player model. If you prefer red and/or a lower price tag, the 256MB model sells for $89.99.
It also packs in a wealth of information, including track number, elapsed time, a battery gauge, file-format and bit-rate icons, and even a level meter. When no tracks are playing, the A-B button switches between audio, FM, and recording modes. The DAP supports MP3, WMA, and DRM-protected WMA formats.
You can drag and drop files to the player or use the included Musicmatch 9.0 Basic, a splendid music manager/store. In our tests, files zipped from PC to player at the impressive rate of 6.54MB per second. Better still, the DAP played for more than 16 hours before needing a new battery. Music and radio sound much better, though not great. We quickly ditched SanDisk’s painful hard-plastic earbuds in favor of our stock Shure E3c ‘buds, but even then, the DAP couldn’t compare with other players we tested.
