Im thinking of getting one of these- http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...lickfrom=image

It says it has 128MB memory and an SD slot. Does that mean i could put my 256MB SD card in there for more memory?

Thanks in advance

idontthinkso · 30-07-2005, 17:19

Its a good looking player for £20 i'll give it that!

idontthinkso · 01-08-2005, 12:08

It can have up to a 1gb sd card

NoEntry2k · 01-08-2005, 12:34

A good little machine, sahme it does not have an FM radio.

i bought one the day before the catalogue came out and it's excellent, i already have an iPod but this is great for when i'm on the way to work etc (i cycle).

It comes with USB Cable, Little case/pouch, earphones, neck strap, battery and then the cd/manuals.

It works as a removable disc on Windows 98 and above, it's also a backlit screen.

It's also MUCH smaller than it looks in the pics.

Oh, one thing, the SD Card's don't fit flush in the unit, they stick out of the side about 3mm, but, as i've said, it's great for the price.

iDan · 01-08-2005, 18:11

They look nice, and they were selling loads in Argos today.

Do they support ID3 tags?

I wouldn't mind one, as I have a 1GB card in my Palm Zire. (I got it from Amsterdam airport for £45. Bargain! and it's a Sandisk)

You dont see a track name.... its in alphabetical order.

Bit lame

Basil Faulty · 02-08-2005, 14:57

Shame, as even the 128mb 'keyring' type players support ID3 tags.
