Intenso Music Walker MP3 player 8 GB (USB 2.0) (Electronics)

Customer Review

My requirements for a new player were:

- Replaceable battery / battery
- As much memory
- Uploading MP3s without additional software possible

In this segment, there is only cheap mp3 player. I ended up at 8 GB Music Walker. One would think that players are mature with little functionality. Is not so! Here are my experiences:

Summary: You get a cheap device with a number of quirks. With whom you can live, but they would not be.

Extended version:

* Delivery
Player, battery, cable, headphones (not tried), and even a printed manual and a printed Kurzbedienungsanlaitung.

* Processing:
The housing makes a cheap but stable impression. It creaks nothing. How durable are the buttons and the control nub in the long run remains to be seen. So far, everything can be accurately operated. Small and portable, the housing is also because there are coarser pads in this field.
The hole and the caption "MIC" should not be taken too seriously, on the packaging and in the manual is neither a recording function is. The case appears to come from a more expensive model ...

* Hardware Detection
Under Linux (Ubuntu) automatically included as a music player. Can also be used as a USB flash drive. Windows and MacOS go according to packaging, I have not tested.

Play MP3s *
I have the same player stocked with 1,500 MP3s. The player is not faster than the competition, about 2 MB / s. So take a few hours until everything is on it.

* Display
Easy to read, good lighting. But suboptimal use of space. Number of tracks only three digits, with an 8 GB player! Font for song / album / artist too big, scrolls constantly rum.

* Audio quality
Not bad, surprisingly good. Creaks significantly between track changes. When the battery of 3 bar is at 2, a howling sound comes to which can be heard in quiet environments (volume 1 to 3 of 32).

* Easy to use
That's my biggest gripe. The so-called "Folder View" shows only two files at one time, the navigation in 1,500 files, making it very uncomfortable.
Quick you have to be, because at the end of the current song, the cursor jumps back to the directory of the current album. If you've worked very troublesome to a location in the directory tree, you're suddenly back to square one. So either make or break start at the beginning of a song to rumstöbern.
One should not create too many directories, otherwise the directory structure is no longer navigable. I had about 150 directories, which was clearly too much. During navigation, the music playback was faltering and the main directory I could not, because the player is simply jumped back into the menu. With 20-30 directories there is no such problem.
Very missing I have a function with which you can skip the current album with no menu. You have to click further lied example.
Anyone who thinks now: Everything not care, I just want random playback - you can, but at 1500 songs you wait 5 seconds between the original tracks. This is after some time fairly to the cookie.

* Conclusion
The shortcomings mentioned do not leave the player unusable. But they are angry, because they could have been avoided with a little development effort. Total: 3 points: the approach good but undercooked in the execution.
