Inside the packaging, we found an instruction manual, a mini CD containing drivers, a pair of headphones, a USB cable, and the 256MB MP3 player. The 256MB 8-1 MP3 Player takes one AAA.

Examination

Appearance-wise the Ultra 256MB MP3 Player is pretty standard. Most of the exterior of the player is composed of deep blue plastic and the back of the player is composed of black rubbery material. The cap on the end of the player hides the USB connection. Finally on the backside of the player there is a slot for flash memory cards. This unit takes SD cards and MMC cards up to 1GB.

Performance:

When the player was turned on we were immediately greeted by a large ULTRA MP3 logo and then directed to the main MP3 player screen. There were no songs on the player so we went ahead and uploaded some songs to the player. Loading files onto the player was pretty painless as it was simply like copying files to any other flash drive. The transfer interface used in this player, surprisingly, is the outdated USB 1.1 (Upload 950Kbps, Download 520Kbps).

Once the files were transferred, we turned on the player again. In the top right corner of the LCD were two numbers representing the track number, and the track progress. The music sounded much better after changing headphones. The equalizer choices were Normal, Classic, Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Bass. Normal sounded just fine however for the various genres that we tested. Depressing the joystick displayed a menu that allowed us to choose from six options: MP3 Player (which we were just using), Voice Player (which plays recorded audio), FM Radio, Record, Setting, and Exit. Once recorded, we switched to the voice player mode to listen to the recording; and we were surprised by the quality of the recording. It worked very well overall.

Conclusion:

We also had noise problems with one song that was encoded at 320kbps.

Pros:

• Packed with features
• Radio Tuner works well
• Supports SD add-on cards
• Voice recording quality is good

Cons:

• USB1.1 transfer
• Audio quality is only average
• Expensive
• Can only be charged through USB port
