1000 Songs - Movies From Your Normal Digital Camera & Pictures Too.
 
It's true. If you already have an iPod, that's great, and you may not need this. But then again, you just might. I have an iPhone and I love it and this multifunction system too.
But for sure, if you haven't yet dipped your feet into an MP3 player, or if you want an MP3 player that's a whole lot less expensive (but still sounds perfect) and weighs less than 2 ounces to take with you on walks, workouts, doctor's appointments or any time you're stuck waiting around, hang on, this is really worth reading.
Drew's Musings. Check my 1981 prelude to MP3.

And this MP3/Video/Photo player is the best choice. Now you can take 1000 songs, full length movies or the movies you make with your digital camera, family photos (or underwater pictures for me), text and more all in a less than 2 oz wonder that even includes its own advanced rechargeable Li-Ion battery, anywhere you go.
What's MP3 anyway? Nothing to worry about. It's just a digital music file that's called compressed. Its sole reason for being is that it's about 90% smaller than a standard WAV file, but retains about 85-95% of the sound quality. There's nothing you have to do, DAK's editors can convert 1000 WAV files to MP3s easy.
So now that you know what MP3 is, let me show you the best MP3 player with the most easy to use extra abilities I've seen for just $39.95 for the 2-Gig size (about 500 songs) or $49.95 for the 4-Gig size (about 1000 songs).

Drew's Musings - 1981 Prelude To MP3
Oh The Wonder Of Digital Music.
Check out my 1981 Prelude to MP3

In 1981, I introduced a revolutionary portable cassette player that could play a whole cassette while you walked or jogged and amazingly, it wouldn't skip or jam as you moved. It weighed in at about 16 ounces (which was impressive), and I sold it for $118, which was a breakthrough. And, by the way, for us in California sales tax was just 6%. Oh well.

But now, here we are with an MP3 player that sounds 1000% times better weighs less than 2 ounces, and not only plays one cassette, but easily carries the songs from almost 100 cassettes.

And check this out. It has no moving parts. Could you have imagined this in 1981? My 94-year old dad just looks at it and shakes his head. It really is just like Star Trek. Think of how lucky we are. No moving parts. That still amazes me too.

Plus it has a built in EQ, repeats anyway you like, and plays full-length movies, movies from your digital camera and keeps your photos in one place too. Wow, do we live in great times or what? I shot a picture of my 1981 ad for the $118 cassette player breakthrough here.

Check out My 1981 Catalog Page. We have come a long, long way. We really do live in great times. I only wish that I could be around to see where we are 100 years from now. Don't you? It's going to be awesome.


It's All About The Music. Your Music.
Clean & Flawless - Anywhere You Are -
1000 Songs - Less Than 2 Oz.
Imagine playing 1000 of your favorite tunes whenever you want, any time you like wherever you are. You'll never be bored again.
You're walking your dog. You're washing the car. You're stuck in line. Now you can listen to a 1000 of your favorite tracks with even better sound and for sure easier access than even what you'll hear in your main stereo system.

And there's no compromise. You'll carry 1000 of your favorite tracks and you listen to them anyway you like, any time you like anywhere you are with flawless fidelity, variable equalization settings and ordered just the way you want your music to be.

Want to listen to all one artist? No problem. Want to randomly listen to various artists? Want to repeat one, a folder of songs or all songs? No problem again.

You simply load your tracks in folders and then just select to listen any way you want. Now frustrating delays are calmed by your favorite tracks. Working out at the gym or walking a mile is totally relaxing as you enjoy your favorite tunes.

Just take the songs you already have on your computer, drag them into this powerfully automated MP3 player and enjoy.

Look at all you can do:

Repeat. Repeat a song, a folder of songs, repeat all songs and Intro search through your songs.
Equalizer. Natural, Rock, Pop, Classic, Soft, Jazz & DBB
Tempo. Speed the music up or slow it down without changing the key.
Replay Gap. How long do you want the silence between tracks?

So why settle for a radio station's choice of music and commercials when you can choose your favorite songs anywhere any time from now on. Oh, and check below, because there's a built in digital FM stereo radio if you want to listen to that too.

You have lots of control over your music. 7 repeat modes, 7 EQ modes, choose the tempo of your music and how many times you want to replay.
With 1000 or more songs, it's great to know how they are organized. Use a folder for each artist and then a sub folder for each album and you'll play just the songs you want, fast.
I love EQs. Here you can choose from 7 different EQ settings so you'll be able to enjoy your music with all the drama and impact that you want. It's awesome sound.


Play Movies, TV Shows & Movies From Your Digital Camera.
Imagine watching a TV show you missed or a movie you want to see. Now it's fast, easy and super sharp on the 1.8" screen.
This is so cool. I know it's a small screen. But you'll be amazed how clear and easy it is to watch video. And it's super easy too. What's really amazing is that all the videos you can shoot with just about any standard video camera play great.

If you look to the right, you'll see a screen shot of the video I shot of my grandson less than an hour after he was born. It runs about 5 minutes and it's great to watch and share.

I shot this with just a standard Sony digital camera. There was nothing to it. I just switched from still pictures to movies and well, the rest is history. You'll really enjoy taking your videos with you wherever you go.

Below my grandson is a video of an octopus I shot in Maui. I shot this with my digital video camera in an underwater housing. This is broadcast quality video and it plays great too.

Feature movies and TV too. You can drag any movie or TV show you download to your computer into this video player. There's nothing to it. There's even an included program that converts the format from AVI to the format played in this video to go player. It's just a couple of clicks so it's more like a utility than a program, but all you do is load your AVI file and click go. That's it. Now you really can take your videos with you wherever you go.


Never Leave Your Digital Photos Behind.
It's Digital Photos to Go.
Just drag the pictures you take with your digital camera into the viewer and enjoy. No sizing or preparing or anything needed.
It really is digital photos to go. Why buy one those digital wallets or key chain photo frames. Now you can carry hundreds of your favorite pictures and show them bright and clear.

Your pictures are already on your computer. Just drag them into this digital photo viewer and you'll have great memories to view and share wherever you are.

If you look to the right, you'll see one of my underwater shots. I call it turtle heaven. The turtle is just about to take a bite of my scooter. Don't worry, he didn't hurt it or himself. But what an awesome memory for me to carry with me.

There's nothing you need to do. Just drag in your pictures. You don't have to resize them or anything. Then just choose a picture you want to view, or step as many of them as you like.
Now you'll have your favorite music and your favorite pictures with you all the time in one less than 2 ounce digital wonder.


FM Radio Wherever You Are.
Tune in any FM station digitally for great sound and super easy tuning.
It's all here. You'll never be bored when you're waiting for the doctor, stuck in traffic or taking a walk or exercising.

Now just tune in your favorite FM Stereo radio station and enjoy. You can set presets to page through your favorites or let this digital tuner search the airwaves for music or talk that you like.

It's fast and easy and remember the whole MP3 player, video player and picture viewer weighs less than 2 ounces. So this is one entertainment wonder you'll take with you all the time, everywhere you go.


It's An E-Book Text Reader Too.
Just drag any text file into the player and you can read it and refer to it wherever you are.
It's a text reader. You can load any text file like an email, something you copy from the web or even a shopping list or notes for a speech you have to give.

I know the screen is small, but the text is really quite large and very readable. You don't need reading glasses to see tiny type. It's bigger than you'd expect.

I find I use this more than I thought I would as I'm always carrying notes of what I need to do. So I just load the text file on my way out the door and I'm all set.

There's no special formatting needed. Just use Windows notepad or save from Word or email as a text file and you're all set.


Got Telephone Numbers?
You can list your phone numbers so you'll never be without them.
It's a very basic phone number list. It's worth listing some numbers you don't want to forget, but frankly if you have a PDA, use that.

I think it's nice to list the numbers here if you're likely to have this player with you and not your PDA. It's fast and easy, but like I said very basic.










Record The Room, Your Notes, Speeches and Much More. This Beyond Super Neat.
Surprisingly great sounding recordings are just a button press away. And you can record in high quality or voice and with or without VOX.
OK you're in for a surprise. You won't believe the quality of the recordings you can make Fine or Voice quality recordings. Use Voice for dictation and Fine for live music or lectures.

Oh, and how many times are you in the car or somewhere where you need to capture a phone number, an address or even driving directions. Now it's all easy.

Just click record and dictate anything you need to remember or better yet, let the person giving you the information record it for you.

Or what if you hear a song you like on the Radio? Well record it as it plays (you probably won't get the beginning). Then play it back at home and track it down and buy the CD or download. Now you can always record what you think or hear.

The built-in Mic is amazingly sensitive and the recordings are much, much better than you'd expect.

Plus there's more. For both Fine and Voice quality recordings there is VOX or VOR as it's called. VOX means voice operated record and what this amazing recorder will do when you select VOX is only record when there is actual sound to record.

So if you leave this recorder in VOX and leave the room, it will not record unless someone talks or makes sound.

This is really great for long-time recordings of room sounds and people when there are long silences along the way. And take it to a concert and use it to record the actual live concert.

It's so small that it will be no problem at all to record the live concerts to help you remember the wonderful times you've had. Sure it's not going to be CD quality from where you are probably sitting, but you'll have a digital memory that you can enjoy over and over again.


Play Back What You've Recorded.
You can playback up to 99 recordings you've made. And with 4 Gigs, there's no need to erase recordings as you have plenty of room.
This is simply the area that your live recordings are stored. After you record your dictation, speeches, lectures or concerts, just come to Voice and choose which one you want to play back.

Of course, you can also drag them onto your computer's desktop and play them there too.











Easy Setup - Your Way.
Just press setup and choose all your personalized settings.
You're in full control of how your player is configured. Nothing is hard or complicated.

Choose how long you want the LCD screen to stay on.

Choose how long you want the player to stay on and not go to sleep when it's not playing

Put in the day date and time so it's always available for you

Choose from 3 different Screen Backgrounds.

Choose Manual or Auto Replay modes.


So Much More You Can Do. . .
Look how thin it is. It's just a bit less than 1/4". And here you can see the card slot, USB adapter jack and headphone jack.
It's so small and light that it simply sits in your pocket and you can't even see it's there. You'll see the cord coming out to the great sounding ear buds, but at a 1/4 of an inch think, it really doesn't take any room at all.

Now wherever you are whatever you're doing, you're just a few clicks away from up about 1000 of your favorite songs. So now when you are waiting for an appointment, stuck waiting for anyone, enjoy. Just click play and enjoy your music.

As you can see to the right, it's thin, very thin, And yet there's a card slot so you can add even more Gigs of RAM. So in addition to the 2 or 4 Gigs you get with this player, you can add even more.

And watching movies is a gas. OK I know it's just a 1.8" screen. But it's not like it's across the room. There's a demo movie in the player when you get it. Check it out. Then add your own. I too thought it was silly when I first heard about video in small players. But it's not. You really will be able to watch and enjoy videos wherever you are.

And remember, just about every digital camera on the market has a video setting. So you can make your own videos fast and easy. If it's a party, a new grandchild or a deer in your backyard, just make a movie. Then since it's already going to be on your computer when you connect your camera,

It's just a 1/4" thick. You won't even know it's in your pocket except for the cable coming out

just run it through the included program utility and then drag it into the video player. You really will be glad you did.

And speaking of digital cameras, just drag in your favorite family, work, sports or you name it pictures. No problem. You can enjoy hundreds of memories hassle free. Just drag them in then choose the ones you want or step through all of your pictures. What a great way to keep your treasured memories with you wherever you go from now on.

Finally, you've just got to try out the recorder. The digital sound quality really is amazing. If you can hear it, so can the sensitive built in Mic. And you can record for hours and hours of lectures, dictation, notes or just about anything. It really is amazing how good and how easy digital recording can be.

Remember that you can record using VOX so that the recorder only records when there's sound. This really great for recording just what you want without lots of blank space when nobody is talking.

So grab the 2-Gig or 4-Gig MP3/Video/Picture player and join the 21st century in solid state, no moving parts new technological wonders. You'll be glad you did.

Does It Hold 500 or 1000 Or. . . Songs?
OK here's the idea. An average song is about 2.5 minutes. So in reality that's about 800 songs in the 2-gig player. And, in the 4-gig player, about 1600 songs will fit. But, none of us really knows how long your songs might be.

They probably aren't all rock and roll songs from the 60s. So we take a conservative number and that's why we say you'll get about 1000 songs for 4-Gig player rather than 1600. Here's how it's calculated. A minute of 128-Bit MP3 is just about 1 megabyte. 128-Bit is the standard for CD quality sound.

So if you simply divide 4000-Megs (that's 4-Gigs) by 2.5-Megs (2.5 Minutes per song) you do get 1600. But we don't know for sure that you are using 128-Bit (it's the standard) and how long your songs really are, and yes there's a bit of overhead in the player too. Now you know.

Look At All You Get
Most MP3 players these days don't come with AC Adapters for charging. We've included the AC Charger so you don't have to plug the MP3 Player into your computer just to charge it. Of course you get the USB cable to connect to your computer and a great pair of the latest ear bud stereophones.

It all comes with a 1-Year Standard Limited Warranty, which isn't really standard at all because most MP3 players only come with a 90 day warranty. You're protected for a full year.

It's just 3" tall, 2-1/8" wide and about 1/4" thick. It weighs well under 2 ounces and includes a Li-Ion polymer rechargeable battery. It takes standard memory cards to add to its 2-Gig or 4-Gig built-in Memory.

Risk Free
This is an actual screen shot of the movie as it plays. The 1.8" screen is flawless, but my screen shot isn't. You really will be amazed by the quality of the sound, the clarity of the movies and pictures and the functionality you'll control in this less than 2 ounce musical video wonder.
Your Choice Of Black-Silver-Blue-Red
Wait till you hear the sound. Wait till you click through 1000 of your favorite tunes wherever you are. Choose and EQ preset and just let the sound explode with new found life. It's really amazing just how good these players really do sound.

Then cue up a movie. You can watch a feature movie, a music video or, and this is the best for me, one of the videos you've made with your own digital camera. If you haven't done that already, try it out. They really are amazing.

Of course if you have a big video camera like I use for diving, then you're in for a super treat.
I just love watching my underwater videos. It's a kick and it helps me enjoy the memories. Of course it make we want to get out of here and go diving. :)

Anyway, listen to your tunes. Watch a few movies. Check out your favorite photos. It used to be hard, but now just drag them in. They are already on your computer so there's really nothing special you have to do to get all this enjoyment.

Do it all for 30 days. If you're not 100% thrilled, simply send it back to DAK in its original box within 30 days for a 100% merchandise refund to the credit card you used when you ordered.
