Amazon.com Product Description

The sleek and stylish Machspeed Trio digital audio player provides skip-free playback, thanks to its 1 GB of flash memory. It's also a multitasker, providing an integrated microphone for voice recording (great for short reminders or capturing lectures) and USB mass storage capability (for backing up and transferring files from one PC to another). It features a backlit LED screen for viewing song information, and it has three preset animations (for welcome/goodbye) that you can choose from, as well as English and Simple/Traditional Chinese language display.

This player is compatible with MP3, WMA, ASF, and WAV files, but is not compatible with protected WMA files from online stores or subscription services. The 1 GB memory will store approximately 16 hours of CD-quality MP3 tracks (encoded at 128 kbps) or 32 hours of WMA tracks (at 64 kbps). It features 7 preset equalizer tones--normal , rock, pop, classic, soft, jazz, bass--and a variety of play modes, including repeat one, repeat all, play folder, and random. It connects to PCs via a USB 2.0 connection, and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It's powered by a single AAA battery, which provides up to 10 hours of continuous playback. It's backed by a 90-day warranty.

Very good performance at a good price. - R. C. Patel, Apr 14, 2008

This MP3 player works like a charm and is very handy. I have a large variety of music collection. I bought several of this player and now I can switch music selection quickly and easily.

Good enough, despite some issues - Princess Anastasia, Feb 26, 2008

I've got this player for my B-day two and a half years ago. It's still alive, after a couple month in coma.
For the first year I was quite happy except it refused to read names of files in the form I saved them. It is inconvenient if you listen to foreign music: be ready to recognize songs by how they sound, bitrate, length, etc. 'cause you won't see the title in a readable way. After a couple months the cap started slipping off. They really should include a roll of tape in the set. After a year the start button started to malfunction, and image in the window shifted up about 1/4 of an inch, so track # and other info was no longer in the field of vision. In addition, the paint on plastic easily scratches. Back then the player used to cost $170. Today it worth of 30 bucks, I think it's a pretty good deal comparing to pathos i-pods.

Bargain MP3 Player - Les, Feb 22, 2008

I use this to listen to audio books while I exercise. You CAN have it pick up where you stop. You just first of all pause before you turn it off. Then the next time you start it up, it begins where you left off.
I found that it is much easier to see if you change the back light to yellow from the default blue.
The battery lasts a long time. Since I don't use this for music, the sound is just fine, and it is about the cheapest one you can find for 1 GB.

Broke on day three - Andrew Phifer, Feb 18, 2008

I was satisfied with the product - until I actually used it in the real world. The second day I carried it in my pocket (with nothing but my cell phone knocking against it), the glass screen cracked and broke apart. In my pocket. Guess what happened when I reached my hand into my pocket which now had bits of broken glass into it?

The third day I was using the Machspeed Trio was when it died. I put some documents onto the drive and went to Kinkos to get them printed. When I gave the clerk the drive, he was unable to get information off it. He couldn't even get it to register in the computer. He tried it in four different computers, and none of them worked. He gave it back to me, and I couldn't even get it to turn on. I changed the batteries - no good. It just died.

Thanks, Machspeed Trio. I really enjoyed your product for about 18 hours. But $30 for 18 hours isn't enough.

Please don't buy this product.
