Digital camera reviews of Olympus m:robe MR-100 Digital Music Player
Digital camera Review: 3 stars(EDIT) Really bad
Summary: 5 Stars
I received an Olympus m:robe 100 for my birthday back in April and it has not let me down yet. The user interface is slick and responsive, the sound quailty is top-notch(with good headphones), and the look is ultra-cool. I was impressed that such a high quaility digital jukebox came from a digital camara maker. The player is not with out faults(don't worry,most can be easily remedied). The headphones that are provided leave something to be desired. The sound quaility is ok, but they do not stay in well and are very uncomfortable. The glass face that is responsible for the smooth movement of the the touchscreen user-interface is easily scratched and can take away from the astheics of the player. And,in my players case, the volume was not as loud as I would have wanted. Firmware update 2.17 solved this problem and the player reached my desired volume. If you have an older player
or a player with firmware 2.15 or earlier, you should download 2.17. It fixes some other minor gliches as well.
Other problems include a learning curve for the UI and a mediocre
software program. But these problems did not turn me off to the m:robe.
If you want a mini player that is comprable to the ipod mini for half the price and all the fuctionality, the m:robe is for you.
EDIT-shortly after typing this review, the thing wore out on me. Just quit. Had to send it off to get a new battery, which, lets face it, is gonna happen, but after 4 months?!?!?! I hope it was
just a short circut that can be fixed, but if it only last 4 months again, I'm going for a different DAP. Still recommend it though, just not as highly
EDIT#2 - Got the thing back, and it gave me more battery problems. AND it refused to let me go to full capacity. I couls only fit 4.1/5 GB on it. Review goes down to a 3. If you can get it to work, it's real slick. Otherwise... oh and the the software
SUCKS
