"Nice, Beats Ipod. One good buy."

by ferrari2388 on June 22, 2005

Pros: Color screen, comes with cradle, and has SRSWOW

Cons: None (For Me), software, and getting used to (you)
Summary: For $294.99, I have to say this HD player is pretty good. The sound quality is the same as the ipod (I can't tell the difference). The added feature of SRS WOW lets you enahce the sound quality, but its not that great. I suggest setting it to SRS2 for optimal listening. The size is perfect compared to other HD based players in the market and the color variety is cause for pause. The software is reportedly a bit shaky and crappy, but so far I have not had any problems with it (been using it for two days, so dont take my word for it). In my opinion the software is for advanced users, you use the file directory method to get music into the player (and alot of people I know are only drag and drop fans. In essence this is one good mp3 player for those who want something besides an ipod. The F20 also has a photoviewer, and in my opinion it is THE BEST i have ever seen. Sharp picture quality and stunning detail, its the best feature of the F20. Heck, the gigabeat is nothing compared to the the ipod when it comes to ease fo use, b ut overall if tech doesnt scare you, this baby is for you.

By the way the Plus touch control thing on the front takes some getting used to, took me about 30 min. The CD transfer button on the craddle is a blessing too.

any questions?
email me at ferrari2388@gmail.com,and I will let you know how the F20 is so far and etc.

happy mp3 hunting!
