Review of the Riptunes 2GB MP3 Player- Red

The Riptunes 2gb MP3 Player - Red, is an honest mp3 participant here if you can't afford anything higher. It is a deep burgundy purple in color, and it's coated with one thing that is kind of rubbery. It looks like a cellphone, and it is trendy. The buttons on the entrance are a pause/play button proper within the middle, an "M" to the side of that, and buttons that go ahead or again. It has a rechargeable battery, claims to have video playback, has FM radio, and helps pictures.

The battery life nevertheless, is ridiculously short. I actually have charged it for a couple of hours to have it not even final that long. The instructions say not to charge for more than three hours, in any other case it'll cause battery damage. I actually have by no means seen an mp3 participant that might be broken by leaving plugged in to the computer for too lengthy, and that's kind of unusual. Now I always fear that I'm going to forget about it and depart it in all night time or one thing. The battery is very inconvenient.

It isn't particularly simple to make use of, as the buttons are by no means self explanatory. I nonetheless do not know the way to do some issues, or if I can do some things, though I've read by way of everything that got here with it. Getting it to turn off is a big problem, typically it works and typically it doesn't. It seems like it has to get up when you press a button, so attempt pressing it more than once if it would not work the primary time. It may be complicated, and I wouldn't advocate it to individuals who aren't very technologically savvy. If you are in search of something simple and straightforward to make use of, look elsewhere.

The FM radio though is pretty good, not many different mp3 gamers at this worth vary include one. It is the first mp3 player I have owned that has the radio inbuilt, and it is fairly nifty. However, presetting the channels you wish to take heed to is almost impossible, and if you wish to take heed to the radio you will be clicking by way of every frequency before you get to the channel you need.

The sound quality is okay, and it gets fairly loud. It allows play lists, and organizes your music by artist and album, which for the worth is a darn good characteristic. This mp3 prices thirty four dollars at Toys "R" Us, however I got it on sale for about twenty five. For the cash, it's a decent mp3 participant. Also, it has an e-book reader, which is a characteristic I have not seen on an mp3 player before, but it may turn out to be useful someday. There are definitely means higher issues out there, but if you're in search of something that's low-cost and works, that is it.
