4.0 out of 5 stars
Not incorrect, just incomplete..., 4 Aug 2006
This review is from: ATMT MINI MP3 512MB Player - Black (Electronics)
A very decent little player. The reviewer who says that only 99 songs are supported is only partly correct: in fact, as long as folders go no further than one deep, the limitation is 99 songs PER FOLDER -- and the player cheerfully wraps from folder to folder with no quibbles. This is not documented anywhere, however, and I had to ask ATMT themselves.
The supplied battery, as several others have said, should be discarded and replaced with a Known Brand. Battery life is excellent with every alkaline I've tried.
A couple of minor issues; the player should be formatted before use. Particularly if it's going to be used with Win98, but it's probably a good idea to do it anyway. If you don't, you'll only have to do it after everything's vanished the first time, but thereafter, it works fine. Also, it doesn't seem to support any manner of playlisting, so you can't expect songs to group themselves together by album/track or whatever. But hey, semirandom's fun.
For the money, it's astonishingly good value. The packaging's decent, the lanyard with built-in earphones is good, the controls are straightforward -- although they take a little getting used to -- and it works fine. I haven't tried to use it for voice recording (but it can, apparently) or partitioned it for use as a thumbdrive as well (but it can, apparently) but I've seen more expensive thumbdrives that don't work as well as this device.
The only reason it drops a star at all is for the inadequate documentation.

Works well - shame about the glass cover, 14 Nov 2006
This review is from: ATMT MINI MP3 512MB Player - Black (Electronics)
It would be good if all the reviews for the different colour and size ATMT MP3's were in one area, sure all problems/good points would be clearer then :)
Anyway, it works, pretty well as it says on the package.
I got a new Manual from ATMT web site, translated manuals are always querky.
A Battery (rechargable) last 8 hours
99 songs per folder, including root folder
the 128mb will take 70+ songs, remember depends on the quality of the recordings - low quality more songs :)
The only problem when I first got it was that the glass front is easily broken. Just in my pocket with a few other things - it cracked.
Hooked it to my key fob, on my belt it broke completely when I lent against something.
Anyway, removed the glass (carefully) and it it works fine and is easy to use, sounds ok - different earphones may improve this.
I may even buy another one, this time the 512mb version
99 songs don't last 8 hours
