Works well enough and eminently practical!

 

Works well enough and eminently practical!

This unit is discontinued now but for reference purposes: overall it is a decent performer for a basic mp3 player. It DOES come with a USB connection (I think a previous reviewer was referring to the AR-100 Duo player--an earlier model). I don't listen...

Doesn't work with XP

My fiance bought me this last xmas from R. Envelope and he paid $100 for it! It won't work with XP and they would not accept it back. It also requires an additional memory card. Smart Idea this digicasette, but it was not followed through with. I wish...

Wish It Worked Better

 

Wish It Worked Better

I have had this product since April 2001. When it works I love it; when it screws up [which is often] I want to throw it out my car window. Whenever I get back into my car, it seems to have jumped backwards at least 15 minutes in the book I am...

The form factor is great for use in the car but note that you'll need a cassette player you can feed the Digisette's power cord into (the result is just like a "cassette adaptor" for a CD player). When the battery dies while playing, the unit remembers...
