Re: Genica (was: Re: MP3 players)
I did a search on www.dogpile.com for your product and found amoung
other things, a personal website devoted to this very player under both
of it's retail names - they are the same player only different retailers.
The unit is limited - doesn't do vbr per mfd specs but outher of site says
it does - just don't look at the counter cuz it goes nuts. it does do
directories - kind of goofy but it does. but what drops it for me is that
it doesn't do the m3u's! How can one do pink floyd without it! :)
btw, another unit is on the way to retailers now - the next generation.
That should have larger display etc. But for $85 it's REALLY hard not
to buy one!
regards
