No serious complaints, but it isn't perfect

 

No serious complaints, but it isn't perfect

I've owned a Digisette Duo Aria AR264, a very similar MP3 player, for a couple years now. I can't really say I've ever had any serious problems with it, but this won't be an ideal MP3 player for most users. First, maybe it's just because I'm rather...

a disappointment

The Duo-Aria was a disappointment for several reasons, only one of which was the fact that I was never able to make it play an audio book. The cassette controls are tiny by necessity, but they are also ill-designed. For instance, the off /on / hold...

WARNING - Buyer Beware! - Part 2

I have to agree with the person from Edgewater, MD United States. I had exactly the same situation with my DUO-64. I purchased the DUO-64 on June 2001 and on October 2002 the internal memory got corrupted somehow (few months after its one year warranty...

Great little gadget!

I use this audio player for books from Audible.com. I love it! It works great through my car's sound system. A "bookmark" is set everytime the player is shut off so that you will not have to find where the book left off. I do not recommend fast...

I feel like James Bond...

I feel like this gadget was something designed by Q from the Bond flicks. It looks and reacts just like an ordinary cassette. But then I'm able to load and play my top secret MP3's from any cassette deck. :) Loading the files are fast. In about five...

Very Cool - Very Plain -

I want to say that I read the reviews, and went out and bought this device. I had to return to write a review. This product does EXACTLY what the manufacturer says it can do. If people would actually read what it does, IT DOES IT. I must add here that...

Almost perfect....

I have had the Aria for close to a year. And in that time it has become a completely indispensable part of my life. I have been a customer of Audible for several years and had used variously their original player and then a Rio MP3 player to listen to...
