The surprise package

Transcend has a new MP3 player!
I have to have. So ordered quickly.
When unpacking then the first surprise. The resemblance to the Sony MP3 players is amazing. However, the Transcend acts contrary to the Sony lot cheaper, because it comes from a lightweight simple plastic housing in colorless white. Well yes of course it is also cheaper, at least in relation to the Amazon price.
The second surprise: as actually common now everywhere, is no manual, but a Quick Start Guide in. The complete guide can be downloaded on the Transcend website. The manufacturers all seem to assume that there are no more people without Internet connection. In addition to the Quick Start Guide nor a USB cable is included, which allows you to charge your player on a PC, a line cable and earphones (which I have not yet tried).
The third surprise: the player is turned on (which comes already charged therefore) and searched in the settings, the language setting. Oops: German missing. That's stupid and it should be noted in the product description. Lack of Chinese, Italian and Portuguese language skills I have left the player then set to English.
Operation of the player is but simple and intuitive, so that the lack of manual and the lack of German language can get over.
The display shows that very clearly resolves Also photos can be displayed, as you can see in some examples already stored. Videos should the player be able to play avi in ​​formal inter alia. I then also equal times an AVI file up-played and surprise number 4, get acknowledged by the player with a File Format Error. So the players seem to be picky and not to want to play any avi file.
Transferring files to the player is the way very easy. He is namely as a USB Stick viewed from the PC as a mass storage and then you can see the files simply rüberkopieren.
Surprise number 5 then when listening to music: album cover shows the player nicely on the display and the sound especially the inclusion of outstanding Equilizers is top notch. That makes listening to music fun.
Transcend advertises the player with a fitness function that is used for the first time there mE at Transcend. So get out there and try.
Surprise number 6: In the fitness function can be a fitness goal, such as entering a period during which then also the running distance is measured. Using preset can be his or her personal data, inter alia, the stride capture then in the end to see what route we went. Have I done everything, then detects a time and am started walking. During the run course then heard music and thought there is surely an announcement: coming achieved target when the time is up, but denkste. If the target time is reached, the player switches off easily. Is this the promised in the advertising signal ???? What a nonsense. Did the then turned and saw that there Goal was back. Fast music still off and then surprised that he has not saved the running in the History. The data of the run just disappeared. Crap !! Either a faulty operation by me (but then the operation is not very logical) or a fault in the device (which I rather suspect not). Thus, the fitness function has failed for me. Here would have an automatic storage of the barrel to be mandatory, at least if the goal is reached.

Have now seriously considering whether I should keep the player or return again but I decided to keep it. As a music player is okay and I do not belong to anything again Amazon return buyers. My impression: a lot of the equipment is not mature properly and it's annoying that Transcend apparently abused consumer as a tester. I hope that there will soon be firmware updates, for example where the German language is included and where the fitness function is improved.
With a buy recommendation I am unhappy at the moment. When star award I vacillate between two and three but give only used two. Would definitely not buy me the player again.

Supplement of 13 October 2014:
I have the weekend again more intensively with the players concerned with the following result:
1. no single set of playing by me avi video has played the player. All "format error". Outrageous, then indicate in the product description that AVI files be played
2. The fitness function is useless. Even in the state, as I have the players kept quiet in his hand, "Steps" were displayed. Quasi "Fitness without moving". That was not correct the length of the running track then briefly displayed, then of course. Was stored in the History again nothing. It's only "Exit" (then nchts saved) or remain forever in the fitness mode.
CONCLUSION: This thing is useless and is now back to Amazon. Now from the two stars I'm a star and fees from the purchase.
