Everything an MP3 player should be
I just recently burned my 30gb gigabeat out and downgraded to the 30gb zune (mainly so I could get a case that fits). Everything about the gigabeat is far superior to the zune in so many different ways. I'll just make a short list: -Can sync files from your computer to it while using an application that you like -Windows can recognize it without being forced to install mandatory (and really lame) software -Able to convert the bitrate while you're syncing -Able to use it as an external HDD. Can drag and drop any file you want in or out -Intuitive, responsive buttons that any idiot can figure out -Decent FM radio reception -Get this, it comes with an AC adapter! -Perfectly adequate battery life -It's small, light, and very portable I'm still beating myself up over not getting a new one. Asside from the "accessories," there is absolutely no reason anyone should consider a zune over the gigabeat.STAY AWAY FROM THIS ITEM!!
Battery life is absolutely atrocious. I have had the battery replaced twice, and still I have less than 2 hours battery life. And when the battery drains, all music/photos stored on the internal hard drive are gone....have to reload from a PC. Worst product I ever bought.2 hour battery life
Specs say 20 hours get maybe 2. Then have to turn of batter life switch and back on.True Ipod Killer
Micrsoft might have pulled the plug on Personal media center by going the Zune route, but this device is a nice implementation of PMC. I have an ipod and I bought this for my sister as a present and spent a few weeks loading music and testing it out. It beats the ipod classic on many fronts. It was $50 cheaper for the same capacity (30 GB). Dedicated controls beat the wheel any day. I know the wheel feels cool for exactly 1 week, after that its a pain. The ipod wont scroll up from 'A' to 'Z'. This will. The sound quality was great with good earphones. The supplied earphones are just adequate though.High Quality, Battery Problems Fixable
Before purchasing this product I did some research on it, and heard it was a high quality product but that the batteries sometimes lasted only about 4 hours. I ordered my own and am very pleased with the device. Everything works well, nice interface, and I was extremely impressed by the resolution of the screen. The primary reason I am writing my own review however is my issue with the battery. My battery also lasted only 4 or 5 hours, dissapointed I called customer service, expecting to have to exchange it. However, this is what they told me to do: unplug the device, turn off the battery switch, plug it back in, wait for it to boot up, turn on the battery switch, and then turn the device off, letting it power for 3 to 5 hours. I did this (at least 5 hours), and then I got about 11 hours out of it (12.5 was advertised, but 11 is close enough for me). In short, at least in some cases, it seems the battery problem is largely fixable and just requires a really good initial charging. My own largest concern when purchasing this product was the faulty battery issue. I've heard of people also exchanging them in worst case scenearios, but it seems most of the time the battery problem is fixable, and I would highly recommend this item to anyone, at least if you're content with a battery life of about 12 hours.Keyword : toshiba+mp3
