Griffin Dock Adapter for iPod shuffle 2G (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Griffin Dock Adapter for the 2G iPod shuffle allows you to *dock* your Apple iPod Shuffle into most universal docks. For the reasons of cost I may have been too harsh on this guy. It does work. But some docks may be designed in slightly different ways. And with the changes Apple seems to constantly make to its dock standard it may not work on every dock.
For players like the iPod Shuffle and other MP3 players connecting with a standard aux cable is probably the safest bet. This provides an alternaitve to those whose aux ports are in use or who want to quickly dock their shuffles into a few docks. Most iPod docks have line-in or auxilliary ports, but not all do. Some people also have dedicated their ports to other mp3 players so being able to dock the shuffle may be a convenience for some. Truthfully, two ports should be standard on any dock. This guy fills the void for iPod shuffle owners who want to dock their shuffle or have iPod docks without extra ports.
Apple usually provides dock adapters for their players, but the Shuffle is the exception since it comes without the proprietary iPod dock interface. This one basically has a slightly modified headphone style port. So installing it with the adapter is basically plugging it in to the port and then seating it into the dock.
To me this unit still seems overpriced, but in fairness that's probably because of the small market for this product. The strange thing about this device is really the fact that it works with some docks and not others. Apple has changed their universal dock standard a few times and perhaps that explains it. Certain brands of docks seem not to work consistently either. Just keep in mind, this dock adapter is pretty mindless. If this doesn't work for you, it's likely due to the the way the dock port is configured rather than this adapter. Make sure you have seated your player into the adapter properly and dock it carefully.
So if you want to dock your shuffle this provides an alternative to the standard aux cable connection. It's worth giving this a try even though it may not work with every dock. Be warned, and make sure to test it right away so that you can return it if it doesn't work.
Enjoy!

SanDisk 512 MB MP3 Player Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice little mp3 player, solid and small. I got mine from Amazon for $108, Newegg didn't have it in stock at the time:-( Anyway great little mp3 player, I was considering the Creative Muvo N200 and the Muvo TX FM both 512MB models, both have radio also and cost about the same as the sandisk, the N200 has a line in, the TX FM doesn't. The Muvo TX FM can also be used as a flash drive for moving files of any type and does not need a cable to connect to a pc. They are nice products, but after I saw them in a store I realized that they were too small and the screens were microscopic.

I have perfect eye sight but I am so accustomed to my Iriver IMP-350's nice remote with good display size( a CD MP3 player). I looked at the manuals of the creative Muvo's and the sandisk SDMX1-512 and was able to see that the interface and menus of the Sandisk player was superior to the Creative Muvo's. [...] I also considered the Iriver flash players, but they were too expensive(still are). I have only used my Sandisk player for 2 days now and it has given me no problems.

The file transfer is very fast and the battery life seems pretty good so far. The battery is at 3/4 bars after 2 days of use, and it's the cheap alkaline battery that came with the player. I have one complaint, I wish it came with a neck strap like the creative Muvo's. I used a strap from an old pair of sun glasses. It comes with a nice clear plastic protective case and a set of cheap air phones, plus a nice velcro arm strap for all you joggers. The quick start manual is ok, the full manual if on the CD or the website. It's got a nice backlight and clear screen, sound quality is excellent and radio reception is very good, better than my Iriver IMP-350's reception.

The CD comes with musicmatch jukeboox version 9, I didn't even install it, it's crap, stick with winamp or media player. You don't have to install any drivers for windows xp. The entire screen flashes when transferring files, which is super fast. Voice recording is ok, I wish it had radio recording like the creative models though.
This player is great and cheap, go for it, you won't be sorry:-)

SanDisk SDMX2-1024 Sansa e140 1 GB Digital Audio Player with SD Expansion Slot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I reduce my stars to three for most people, but four or five for me since I listen to Audible books 90% of the time with the MP3 player.
I really liked what I heard about this player for audiobooks until I saw the review that said that it does not bookmark. I thought so, too, but I discovered all you have to do is press the Play button and it brings you back to where you left it. (see details below of the steps, but they are
1. Turn off while playing
2. Turn on.
3. Press play. Starts where you left off.
Sound
The sound is beautiful. It is the only flash drive player I have found that handles Audible format 4 which is the highest and is comparable to MP3. The next lower is format 3 and is comparable to FM radio. Format 3 is the standard for most. I tried it with NetLibrary audiobooks which is available from a number of public libraries. I had the same problems with the Sansa that I have had with the Creative Muvo (see below) so I think it is the NetLibrary format.
Volume Knob
I did not find the volume knob hard to use when it was out of the case. I have not tried it in the case.
Case
There is a trick to get the player out of the case. It goes into the case top first so the top of the player is at the top of the case. All you have to do is press with a little pressure on the the top of the case - toward the bottom of th case - to ease it out of the bottom of the case.
Display
The elapsed and remaining time digits are WAY, WAY too small.
##############
Additional information on the bookmark. I am beginning to suspect that there are different versions of the firmware on different ones.
Works with Audible Audiobooks
Here is what I am able to do consistently. I have tried in different chapters of a book and in different books.
While listening to an Audible book.
It is playing...
1. Hold the side button until it shuts down ...it will shut down when you hold down the side button for 5 seconds - it counts down with squares on the screen and then when you let up, it shuts off.
2. Press the same button to turn it on.It is now NOT playing, but it DOES show the title of the book and its chapter on the screen.
3. I press Play and it starts exactly where it left off.
Bookmarking Does Not Work with Music
I WAS NOT able to get this or any other form of bookmarks to work with music. This is definitely a screw-up.
Problems Using NetLibrary audiobooks.
I have problems with NetLibrary audiobooks with my Creative Muvo MP3 players as well. These are being used by several public libraries, but not all players - iPods don't work at all - work with their files. The problem I have seen is that files longer than about two hours do not show a longer length or they show as 00:00 in the elapsed time.
Cable Not Proprietary
Another point was made that the cable is "proprietary." The cable is not proprietary. It is a USB 2.0 A-Mini 5-Pin B cable. I didn't think it was proprietary because my Creative n200 has the same cable. To be sure, I bought two different makes and designs (one regular, one retractable) from Radio Shack tonight. They worked with no problems with the Sansa e140.
Does NOT take three to four minutes to start up with card. I have an e140 with a one Gig SD card. I timed it. It takes 10 SECONDS!

SanDisk Sansa c250 - Digital player / radio - flash 2 GB - WMA, MP3 - pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a c250 a couple of years ago and like it for it's small size, clear FM radio reception, user replaceable battery, Micro SD expansion slot and good sound (probably the only player that comes with decent ear buds). I recently bought a pink (actually closer to rose color) c250 for my wife and she loves it! The 'pink' has a slightly modified interface that works a bit better for file transfers than my old one. (I use the Rhapsody music service software for loading the Sansa.) I've had no problems with either player although the interface is a little confusing at first, so you may want to resort to reading the manual before you start. Negatives: The screen is not bright enough to read in sunlight, there is no clock function and you can't bookmark your place in a file if you switch to another program. If you want those features, you'll have to pay more. Amazon's price on the 'pink' was excellent!

SanDisk Sansa C240 1GB MP3 Player Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this little MP3 player for Christmas back in 2006, and it still works. It's really easy to use and sync with a drag-and-drop format. It's tough little bugger and stood up well to three years of being stashed in the bottom of a purse. The only problems I had with it were (1) the battery life (2) storage (3) and freezing up.
After three years, it now only has about an hour of playing time, two if you're careful. But if you're only planning to have it for about a year or so, it shouldn't be a problem.
One GB isn't a lot of room, and I could never get more than 170 songs on it, but a 2 GB memory chip isn't that expensive and it's really easy to install.
I only had it freeze up on me a couple of times, and all I had to do was remove the battery to get it working again. Just a minor frustration.
Now it should be noted that it can only be charged by hooking it up to a computer, and you cannot delete songs without doing the syncing it. You CAN, however, delete the whole library on the device....
All-in-all, I was very pleased with my purchase and would definitely reccomend this product to anyone.

SanDisk 1 GB MP3 Player Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was considering buying an mp3 player, this would be the first one, and I did a lot of research. I was looking at the Sony HD1, the Creative 30gb Zen Xtra, the Iriver one, and this one. When I learned that the Creative player usually fell apart between one and two years, I decided against it. All of the Hard Drive based players that I looked at had internal batteries and therefore, after about a year, the battery life was shot and the player was useless. Therefore, I decided that I needed a replaceable battery player.
This small player 3" x 1.3" x 1" has all of the features I wanted, and is fairly easy to use. In my winXP computer, I could transfer mp3's into folders on the device and each folder acted as an album. There was no software to install. In the player, you can navigate to different folders, and then play those folders or indevidual songs in those folders.
Unlike the sony player, this player will play MP3's any way you have them on your PC, this means VBR mp3's too.
Also, unlike the Creative player, you can choose to have the player display information from the ID3 tags, or from the file name, so if your mp3s aren't set up well, its no problem.
The buttons are a littel confusing in the begining, but after 5min, I could use it perfectly. Also, it can be used left handed to right handed, the LCD rotates.
There are many play modes that you might want like Shuffle and Repeat. These are all easy to use. Overall, a very nice player. I would buy again. 1gb is enough space to switch files in and out, and since the battery wont die like a HD model, and the HD wont die either, I think it's the best choice.
Main good points:
-replacable battery
-VBR mp3's
-Shuffle and Repeat
-ID3 tag use, or path display
-No software to install
-can store any media on the drive like a flash drive
-easy to use
-Left or Right hand use
-Nice display

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 Player (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our public library, has hundred's of audiobooks available for download and this little device makes it a real joy. This device remembers where you left off on each book you store on the device. The battery easily lasts the whole day and it's just the right size to fit in my front pocket making it very portable. I have it in one of those clear plastic protective cases and use it around my farm almost all the time. I did try watching a movie once but the screen is just too small. Same for pix.

Listen, watch and play all day with up to 24 hours of juice*** and room for hundreds of pix and flix. Smaller than a credit card and as thin as a pencil, this clever little player can put up to 1,000 songs**, 6 two-hour movies***, or 2,000 photos* in your pocket. Plus, unlike other MP3 players, your Sansa Fuze player isn't done when your battery's done. Just re-charge it. And while you're at it, add another memory card whenever you like--and just keep growing your entertainment library.

SanDisk Sansa e130 512 MB Digital Audio Player with SD Expansion Slot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This mp3 player is pretty darn good. It is light weight, easy to handle, and fairly inexpensive ($103 from Amazon). I bought the Sandisk over the Rio and RCA offerings because Sandisk, at least in my research, didn't seem to have the number of complaints about product quality and lack of customer support that the other two brands had. Also, it seems as if getting at least a 512MB flash memory player with an expansion slot is going to cost around $100.
This player represents the second Sandisk mp3 player in our household. We were impressed with the ease of use and tranfer speed of the 512MB flash memory player (with no expansion slot). The Sansa player is no different. It is literally drag and drop on to the Sansa. The number of features also put it over the top versus the RCA and Rio.
Overall, you can't beat the usefullness of this little gadget.
Pro's:
--Small size, light weight
--USB 2.0 file transfer speed (transfer 100mb worth of songs in seconds)
--Backlight display
--Plays mp3 and WMA (you can put both on the player at the same time and it doesn't even blink)
--Radio reception is fairly decent here in the hills, but still won't pick up all of the available stations in your area (none of the small mp3 players on the market get anything more than decent reception so don't use this as a selling point regardless of what you buy)
--Sound quality is decent even when playing songs at 64Kbps. If you use this compression level, get good earphones.
--Lots of features including a customizable 5-band eqaulizer with presets, WOW surround sound simulator, and other sound effects. Also, has stopwatch timer and a host of other settings you can play with.
--Battery life is excellent. Not as good as some, but still near the top of players that have good battery life.
--It comes with pouch, armband, earbuds, usb cable.
Minor Con's:
--When you purchase this player, buy headphones. The included earbuds are pointless as the sound quality is barely adequate and the included 3 sets of earbud covers can't keep the earbuds in my ears.
--The battery cover door comes off fairly easily. It looks like it's on there pretty tight but it's not. I think Sandisk did this because of the many complaints that the battery covers on their mp3 players were too difficult to remove causing many people to break the battery cover (like my fiancee did with her own player).
--Your music files need to be properly tagged. I thought my files were appropriately named but this player doesn't seem to recognize the songs. I think the ID3 tags on my music are not correct as the player will display the music title you typed in but it will also show the album, song title, and artist as unknown.
--The buttons on the front are hard to push if you are not expecting it. You just have to adapt to pushing the button deeper than you would think.
--The volume is controlled by a rotary wheel on the top right side of the player. It is very difficult to turn, especially when it is in the holder. I would have preferred two more buttons on the front or side than the wheel.
--Getting the player out of the holder is incredibly difficult. Wipe of the display of the player and the inside of the plastic holder before putting the player in the holder. The plastic film that protects the display during transport leaves either static or a light adhesive film on the display that makes it stick to the plastic holder after you put it in. It took me five minutes and many attempts to get it out before I realized what happened. Also be careful not to yank off the battery door when pulling the player out of the holder. There you have it. None of these gripes add up to more than a minor irritation which is why I gave it five stars (I would have given it 4.5 starts if I could have). However, having experienced other mp3 players, this one has the best combination of manufacturer product reliability and product support, versatility and expandability (up to 2GB SD card), features, and sound quality. My finacee has started using my player instead of her own player. Added on 4/25/05:
In my initial review, I forgot to mention two things. The Sansa ignores your file organization so don't bother trying to setup seperate folders for different genres of music. This is why I warned before to make sure that the music you have is named and tagged properly because it does allow you to play songs by artist, album, date added to player, and so on (let's hope SanDisk fixes this with some software upgrades). Also, there is about a 1-2 second lag when switching between songs. This can get a little annoying at times but you will get used to it. To be fair, one more upside is that I added a 1G SD card (SanDisk Ultra II) and after the initial 60 seconds to read the card and update the playlist, it doesn't miss a beat. I still really enjoy this mp3 player.
Added on 05/02/05:
My Sansa has started to drink batteries like I drink Coke. Not sure why; it could be using extra juice to read music on the SD card. I may have to purchase rechargeable batteries if this keeps up. I got 6 hours of playing time out of my last battery. My fiancee's Sandisk (a flash memory player, no expansion slot) goes about 15 hours on a AAA battery. Not sure why the huge discrepancy between our two Sandisk players but my best guess is that my batteries are being drained reading the memory card. It would be helpful if someone out there with some knowledge about this would write a review.
Added on 0725/05:
After having a chance to live with the player for a few more months, I have to downgrade the rating to 3 stars. The player has become harder to live with. It plays reliably and the sound is good but it is still drinking batteries like crazy and the rotary volume knob hasn't loosened up much. Sandisk hasn't offered any software upgrades to address the lack of being able to organize your files any way you want to and it is still very difficult to remove the player from its holder. Having owned several makes and models of players before, this is still better than those players because each of those players died 2-8 months after purchase. Shop around and get what sounds good to you.

Sandisk 2GB Sansa Fuze MP3 Black Bundle (SDMX14R-002GK-A57/A70) w/ Sandisk microSD 1GB Card Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hello MP3'ers. After buying about $800.00 worth of IPODs for the kids over the past several years my wife decided she wanted an MP3 Player. A good friend of mine had purchased several Sansa's for his kids and highly recommended them. After owning the Sansa Fuse for several months it's the best $50.00 I've spent on MP3 players. It smokes the IPOD for the money. I like the IPOD ear-buds better but that's it (and I consider that to be very minor)! The Fuse I bought came with an extra 2GB card too.

Kensington 33332 Pico FM Transmitter for iPod Nano (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Pico for my wife, and was pretty excited to put it to use on a recent long car ride, but I was very disappointed in the sound quality. After following the directions closely (being careful to tune to a channel that was indeed empty static) the music came through, but the frequency response seemed truncated on both the high and low ends. We also noticed that unless we placed the transmitter in a couple of select (and somewhat inconvenient) locations, the signal was somewhat crackly. Overall I'm disappointed, although if you have low expectations for sound quality, this product might be for you.

Zune Dock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this item as a gift and, out of the box, it is little more than a sleek decorative puck. In other words, the dock does not include *any* cables, not even the Zune sync cable. Oh, it will hold the Zune upright though. It will also hold the Zune remote (sold *separately*.)
Once I collected the cables I needed (sync, plus either A/V or 3.5 to 3.5) the dock is working fine. I have nothing against the product, I just wish it came with at least the basic accessories out of the box.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Zune Dock

The Zune dock elegantly displays your Microsoft Zune media player anywhere in your home or office for easily customizable media access. The dock features a pair of built-in outputs for maximum versatility: a connector port for syncing and charging your Zune, and an audio/video output with a built-in audio amplifier. The connector port is a handy option for people who want to sync or charge their Zune without fumbling under the desk for the sync cable, as the cable instead plugs right into the dock. The A/V port, meanwhile, lets you connect the dock to a stereo system or TV for full-featured playback. In both cases, all you have to do is drop your Zune into the dock and it will charge, sync, or playback via the connected devices--no extra connections required. Plus, the dock includes an integrated IR receiver for use with the Zune wireless remote (sold separately). The IR receiver and remote give you quick access to your current playlist, as well as full control over menu navigation and volume. The dock even includes a small built-in slot that holds the remote--a convenient and stylish way to store the remote when not in use. As with all Zune accessories, the dock is backed by a 1-year warranty.

SanDisk 4GB Sansa Fuze Video MP3 Player Pink (SDMX14R-004GP) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is no question about the need of having a MP3 Player wherever you go. It absolutely seems like the best thing for anyone to enjoy all of your favorite songs no matter what goes your way. While so many people are choosing Apple's Ipod as the constant choice, many people don't want all the fads from the gameplay of the Ipod Touch, or the ability to go online via Wi-Fi. Just the simplicity of what a MP3 Player should be about, the music. Sandisk know that feeling, as they've made the best quality MP3 Players for the past several years, and they've shown it well withe the simplest of them all.Sandisk's Sansa Fuze MP3 Player is a simple and convient way of storing and playing all your favorite music and media files, on the go. The 4 GB is easy to use, and operate with a simple flick of the thumb, as you scroll through the library of MP3 files that you download from your favorite services like Rhapsody. The playback is definitely very strong, but what makes this MP3 Player stand out well is the convience of adding extra songs to playback, all thanks to the added Micro SD Card slot, as it reads well from your extra songs you've stored in a Micro SDHC Card, which extends the variety well, so you don't have to keep plugging it into your computer just to add extra songs. While it handles well, there are couple of disadvantages to the Sansa Fuze. The first one is that the MP3 Player loses its battery life quickly only about 3-4 extended times on the go, which isn't a bad thing. It does have a better battery life than most MP3 Players out there. The second one is that if the battery is damaged, you won't be able to get it changed unlike the Ipod, where others can repair it. Still, it is easy to protect from any damage that can come its way. All in all, Sandisk's Sansa Fuze is a great MP3 Player for anyday, and any time to enjoy your favorite tunes. While it'll never be able to match the drawing power Apple has shown with its Ipod, it definitely is a great alternative for anyone who is looking for a great alternative for what Apple has cornered in the market. I absolutely recommend it as a great buy, as Sandisk knows for what makes a better MP3 Player for the music lover in you.

Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter with Auto Dock Connector Cable Attach for iPod (Silver/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like several of the other Griffin iTrip fm transmitters, this unit can be switched to international mode, which opens up the option to use frequencies lower than 88.1. No US radio stations can broadcast on frequencies lower than 88.1, so now I don't have to worry about interference!
To switch this unit to international mode, press and hold both the plus and minus (+ and -) buttons at the same time. If you hold it a while, it will give you the option to switch between LX and DX modes (stero and mono). If you keep holding the plus and minus button longer, it will give you the option to switch between US and international modes.

Griffin TuneFlex AUX w/Dock Connector for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product has been updated. Griffin has come out with the TuneFlex AUX 2 version. It is much better (see my review of it below)
TuneFlex AUX
-------------------
Plain and simple, don't bother with this product. It pales in comparison to the updated model. This model shifts around and isn't as clean looking as the new model. It also doesn't always charge my iPod Classic...which didn't charge properly for a lot of auto chargers (I tried about 5 different ones). Just skip this product and get the new version...it is worth the extra money. Read my review of the updated model below:TuneFlex AUX 2 Review:
-------------------
This is a good product, probably the best auto charging dock available (I've tried quite a few). I own an iPod Classic 80GB (and iPhone 3G) and it charges and plays them just fine. The product arm itself is strong and doesn't move a bit. The holding dock itself (comes with a variety of docks for all your iPods) allows you to rotate it. This does move. It's stiff at first, but once you break it in it will start twisting a bit on a large iPod. Nano's probably won't budge at all. It's not horrible, it probably rotates about 10 degrees in either direction when I take turns. It usually goes back though, so it isn't the end of the world.
I will say the holders themselves, while there are many to choose from, really don't have much support for the product. There is no backing to them at all (except one which doesn't appear to fit my iPod classic, iPhone, or nano). No worries though, the iPod still manages to stay in place without a problem (and they ride in a Pontiac G8).
Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. If it was solid as a rock, I would give it 5...but it's pretty close. Again, if you own a Nano, this thing probably won't budge at all. The iPod Classic will rotate a little, but not much. If you don't want it to move at all, I suggest getting a Belkin TuneDok (goes in a cup holder) or a vent clip model.

iHome iP46 Portable Speaker System for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Took all of several minutes to unpack, plug in and turn on, sound is really very good for something this small and construction is solid.
Fold out legs stabilize unit in an upright position and feel good and sturdy as you unfold them as they are metal and NOT plastic as you would expect. The speaker grills are also metal giving this a little "heft" to it.
Volume can be raised to a level that is too loud for being next to it, always great not to need full volume to even hear the music properly.
The iP46 design seems geared more toward the newer,thinner iPods & iPhones, I'm using a thicker 4th generation iPod
At the time of this review, Amazon page does not really state other than it is a portable speaker system for iPods/iPhones
The following is printed on the box it came in;
Works with:
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 3G
Made for;
iPod nano 1st-5th generation
iPod touch 1st - 2nd generation
iPod classic
iPod 4th-5th generation
iPod mini (NOTE; Be sure to read first comment attached to this review)
Included in the instruction packet is a "Read this first" paper saying to make sure you have the proper "insert" to seat your device on the speakers IF needed and tells you to refer to the manual to see which "insert" you need to use.
However, I can find nothing about "inserts" in the manual, and there are no optional "inserts" in the box.
I don't think you really need insert adapters for the iP46.
This is too confusing for the customer, do you need them for some players or not? If you don't, do not say you do in the printed matter.
You can view a PDF version of the instruction manual for the iP46 on the iHome web site.
Just to note, on mine, when the docking drawer is all the way out, the docking plug iP46 was angled back too much to allow my iPod to set down on contact while back is up against the resting pad on the speakers, I had to deflect the docking plug a bit forward to seat the iPod. Gen 4 60gb is too thick to line up as is.
While a rearward 15 degree angle is designed in and keeps the iPod snugly against the rubber rest behind it, mine was just angled too much for the model iPod I have.
I hope that several cycles will have it aligned so further adjustments are not needed, but also not do damage to the plug.
They warn you NOT to do this, but mine would not mount without a wee bit of forward movement on the connector.
I am only telling you what I did to make it work for me and I'm not suggesting that you do it to yours.
Don't know about how long the charge will last, but claim is 10 hours, which would be long enough. Keeping it plugged into the adapter whenever possible will provide non stop power at home.
I like the fact that they added an Aux input so you can also use other audio devices with 3.5mm plug.
There is also a remote control available at extra cost if you need one.
This sounds great with all types of music so far... even my voice Podcasts sound good.

Muzee USB Internet Player & Recorder Radio, over 20,000 Internet Radio Stations Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love my Muzee. I received it last Christmas. I previously had my XM-PCR on my computer. Because I knew I was getting a Muzee, I canceled my subscription with XM. When I had XM on my computer, I was paying $14.95 per month. Now since I have my Muzee, it's just the opposite.
Here's the straight dope between XM and Sirius and the Muzee. With Sirius and XM, you need to pay for the equipment and subscribe to the service. Another thing about Sirius and XM is you need to use an antenna for the incoming satellite feed.
On the other hand, the Muzee is, for the most part, FREE. All you need to do is purchase the Muzee dongle and plug it into a USB port on your computer or laptop. Of course you need an active internet connection for the Muzee. Beyond the purchase of the dongle, the service and content is totally FREE. No additional software or hardware is necessary.
Another thing I'd like to mention is the fact that XM and Sirius are just limited to the channels on the satellite fed receiver. I remember the channels numbered just about 200 or so. Whereas the Muzee, since it operates from the internet, gives you access to tons more content than XM and Sirius provide. Consider this, XM and Sirius give you about 200 channels. The Muzee gives you roughly 13,000 stations worldwide. These include AM stations, FM stations, and many high-definition stations. Since no external antenna is needed, the radio signals come through clear as a bell.
I know that the XM-PCR was discontinued due to piracy. I used to use Wave Studio to record from my PCR. The Muzee has recording capabilities built into the software. You can record anything off the Muzee in WMA format. Hence, you can play it back on Windows Media Player, or convert it to AAC format in iTunes.
If you want the best radio you can find, forget the other radios you know. In fact, sell or just get rid of them, and get your hands on a Muzee. You will be glad you did.
