Nextar 3.5" 4GB MP3 / MP4 Player T30

Pros: Huge Screen, low price, long battery life

Cons: Screen is a little dim even on the brightest setting. Depends on what you're watching but sometimes night scenes are a bit murky. Navigation is difficult, you have to hit the power button a couple of times for it to start up, the SD card is kind of tough to seat. I use my fingernail to push it down into place.

Overall Review: I just bought a second one for the kids. It works great, I'm sorry that other people have had trouble with theirs. If you do search in here for "Jugger", he gives great instructions on how to use Vidrop to convert movies. I would only add that in the "extra parameters" box on Vidrop, it helps to put "-af volnorm=2:0.5" (without the quotation marks) This bumps up the volume. Most of the movies I ripped without this were a little too quiet. I really like this little player and you can't beat the price. I'm sorry to hear other people have had problems with it. I have not.

Pros: Big screen, internal speaker, SD card slot, plays video/mp3s fine. Add an inexpensive transcend 4gb card and you have a 8gb video machine. With some tinkering it is now the perfect mini-tv for the back seat on long trips for my kid.

Cons: buggy firmware, complicated/confusing interface, requires video transcoding, construction is flimsy, manual is sketchy, no RMA, tech support quality is low. It is on deep sale from the original MSRP ($200) so don't expect updates.

Overall Review: I bought this for my kid to watch movies on, and it probably took me 2hr after opening to get it working properly. Tech issues I encountered: - you can't have the USB and the power adapter both connected (don't need to since it can draw power off the USB) but it will not recognize the player if not plugged in - USB port is sticky - SD card was not accessable until i did a hard reset with it in the slot - my power button was dodgy and couldn't maintain enough connection to turn on and off. For a while i got around it by turning the sleep timer on and using the DC adapter to power on. Finally i shimmed the power button with a small folded piece of paper and now it works reliably. - many functions in the interface are very context-specific. in general, you have to stop playback, or go to the main menu to get some of the functions to work - overall, you get what you pay for. It works, but it was not a "good" consumer experience

Pros: big screen

Cons: difficult software, very slow when adding files, video conversion software sucks. Awkward controls, slow navigation

Pros: -Beautiful Screen -Nice size-3.5" -Surprisingly slim for a player of this type -Bump resistant orange strip -Port that allows for the use of a wall jack -they included an adapter for the audio port -has not died yet -worth the money I paid for it

Cons: Slow as freaking hello Lucy(transferring and deleting of anything is super sluggish) Buttons are ok in where they are placed but functionality on G.U.I. side is slow and buggy(1-2 seconds wasted before button push was recognized) -feels like it was made in china...oh wait it is...( the plastic feels cheap and there is no weight to it like in bad way it's too light for it's own good) -stupid 2.5 mm audio port -The cycling of icons is too robotic and not a smooth transition(refer to Sansa icon transitioning)(It aggravates me) -not worth the money I would have paid for it if it was not on sale

Overall Review: A mediocre player for a cheap price The saying "you get what you pay for" really is the perfect way to describe this device. I would not lie if I were to say I want my money back for this Cr*p but there is no refund policy so buyer beware The device is not bad but not good enough to recommend to someone.

Pros: Good picture, good sound, included software works great, FOR THE PRICE I can't complain. Bought three of these for my kids for vacation (driving from TN to NY) and it was a dream...should have got one for the wife so she'd stop talking to me...easy to use, easy to figure out, 4gigs with an additonal SD slot (2gigs max), good battery life (about 6 hour or so non stop), so far so good...we've had them about 3 months and my kids have used them most of that time...still going.

Cons: Screen does not go off or on stand-by when charging or listening to music/radio...stick it in your pocket and the screen is always on. Mini-jack for the headphones... I guess that is it so far.

Overall Review: Shoved 40 episodes of Sponge Bob on a SD 2 gig, another 80 episodes of Scooby Doo, Thomas, Tom & Jerry, Rug Rats, and Dora/Diego on the internal drive...not bad for $40 bones

Pros: the best player for the money you will fine. alot of the complaints that i found were moslty because it wasnt an apple product and that it didnt function as one. also for the issue with the sd card if you push it in with a pen for the last little bit the card will click in which is a manufacture issue but easy to work around.

Cons: transfer speeds but again for 45 dollers i can go and do other things while i do large transfers. music does skip a little when running but i moved music to the sd card and i dont have the issue any more.

Pros: Alot of fuctions for the price. Screen is clear and vivid. Bought this for a 7 yr old for Christmas. He will not put it down. Uses it to copy videos from youtube. (Weird Al & cartoons) We love it becuase it keeps him content on road trips.

Cons: The software that came with the unit didnt convert FLV files (youtube) to avi. I downloaded ViDrop for free and used it.

Pros: It works right out of the box, screen is big, colors are good, sound is good, incredible value for the money.

Cons: Doesn't feel very durable, I hold my breath every time I plug in or unplug headphones and USB cord. Transfer rate is very slow. The headphone adapter seems unneccesary, wonder why they made the jack that size to begin with.

Overall Review: I bought this primarily to watch videos, I already have an MP3 player. The big screen and low price piqued my curiousity and I'm not disappointed. I haven't had trouble with computer recognizing the device as some others have reported. I'm also running Vista and the thing works just fine on Vista. I think maybe Drag0s was referring to the conversion software. I didn't use the conversion software, another reviewer on here, Jugger, had some great advice regarding viDrop, a free converter available at MyMPxPlayer.org Jugger did the work and I just copied what he put in his review. It's worth repeating for those who don't want to dig through all the reviews: Video : (Similar to High Compress settings in AVConverter) Video Codec: Xvid Video Size: 320 x 240 BitRate: 200 Frame Rate: 20 Aspect: Auto Audio : (Equal to High Compress settings in AVConverter) Audio Codec: mp2 (MP3 won't work) Bit Rate: 64 (96 is the high quality seetings in AVConverter) Sample Rate: 44100 Cha
