Review of the Riptunes 2GB MP3 Player- Red

The Riptunes 2gb MP3 Player - Red, is an honest mp3 participant click if you cannot afford anything better. It is a deep burgundy purple in shade, and it's coated with one thing that is kind of rubbery. It looks like a cellphone, and it is stylish. The buttons on the front are a pause/play button right in the middle, an "M" to the facet of that, and buttons that go forward or again. It has a rechargeable battery, claims to have video playback, has FM radio, and supports pictures.

The battery life nonetheless, is ridiculously brief. I actually have charged it for a couple of hours to have it not even last that lengthy. The directions say to not cost for more than three hours, in any other case it'll trigger battery damage. I even have never seen an mp3 participant that might be damaged by leaving plugged in to the pc for too long, and that's kind of unusual. Now I all the time fear that I'm going to neglect about it and depart it in all evening or something. The battery could be very inconvenient.

It isn't especially 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 issues, although I've learn through everything that came with it. Getting it to turn off is a giant problem, generally it works and typically it doesn't. It looks like it has to get up should you press a button, so strive pressing it greater than once if it does not work the primary time. It could be complicated, and I wouldn't advocate it to people who aren't very technologically savvy. If you are in search of one thing easy and easy to make use of, look elsewhere.

The FM radio though is fairly nice, not many other mp3 players at this worth range come with one. It is the first mp3 participant I actually have owned that has the radio built in, and it's fairly nifty. However, presetting the channels you need to take heed to is sort of unimaginable, and click if you wish to take heed to the radio you'll be clicking by way of each frequency before you get to the channel you want.

The sound high quality is okay, and it will get pretty loud. It allows play lists, and organizes your music by artist and album, which for the value is a darn good feature. This mp3 costs thirty four dollars at Toys "R" Us, nonetheless I received it on sale for about twenty five. For the money, it's a respectable mp3 player. Also, it has an e-e-book reader, which is a function I have not seen on an mp3 participant before, nevertheless it might come in handy someday. There are definitely method higher issues on the market, but if you're in search of one thing that's cheap and works, this is it.
