As my Boss wanted me to get a 5metre USB cable, I decided to drop by "All IT Hypermarket " at Section 13, PJ. And I also picked up a car MP3 player too. Maybe its the convenience of using thumbdrives compared to burning CD-Rs or maybe its the fact I can have MP3 in any car I drive. But whatever it is, I got one. Moving from shop to shop, the same product, the RedFox MP3 was priced between RM98 to RM119. So, I decided to wait until All IT opened and got it from there.
A car MP3 player like this is a boon. Not many people can afford to have MP3 players installed in all their cars. And even if you got the cheap ones, its still a small fortune. And not only that, you'd have to burn the MP3 CD and take it with you when you change cars. Lastly, if there was a few songs you have gown out of it, you cannot just delete file on the CD-R (or CR-RW) and make a new one. So, this clever little invention (USB MP3 player with a FM transmitter) solves a lot of problem for people like me. Everyone has a radio in the car and every car has a 12 volt outlet which means this unit is convenient to use.
I am not sure if I am happy or sad because although I got Mr. VISA to help out, the sound that came from it lacked treble and sounded like as if it came from a muffled speaker. Not only that, since its using FM frequency, any car which, by coincidence, happens to be on the same frequence, will be able to hear your MP3 being played. And woe betide you if you decided to plug in your handphone into as well. I mean, its possible to have a nice conversation but there are things best left in private. Oh, and if you accidentally knocked into it while its playing, the sound skips or you hear lots of static. And when you put it back on, it will start from the beginning of that song during the incident.

For RM98.00, all you get is the MP3 player which looks like a cut-off
gold club, an infra-red remote control and a stereo cable in case you
do not have a SD card or a thumbdrive but a PDA

It accepts SD cards and USB drives

This is the little hole where you plug one end of the cable
and the other end to another music source. Its not for a
headphone though.

Yo pal, am also using the same device as what u mention but have some items am not sure bout as it was given to me by my sis. I know that everytime when i off/on the device it will actually play from when i last stop. are there any reset so i can start from the 1st songs again and are there any random functions? Thanks
For Anonymous: Try unplug the MP3 player from the lighter socket, and then unplug the thumbdrive from the MP3 player. That should reset back to first song. These type of MP3 player have no random(shuffle) function as far as I know.
For Chow: You got ripped brader! I can get a similar FM Modulator for RM75. And the one I get has killer sound quality!
If you want convenient + guaranteed good sound quality, best play MP3 from your PDA. There're all sorts of inexpensive adapters to connect PDAs to the car stereo. Next time we meet remind me to show you.
I got one too!
But how do I load the files in a particular order.
I have files named EZE028, EZE029, EZE030, EZE031
I thought they would play in numberical (alphabetical order) but they don't
for book chapters this is a pain because you want to hear the chapters in order right?
