D-Link DMP-100 MP3 Player
Review
The earphones are not the most comfortable units I've ever tried but it's not bad. They
didn't fit my ears very well and I find myself removing them every 15 minute or so. I'm
one of those people who don't like things stuck in their ears. I would have like to see a
normal set of headphones instead of these earphones. The sound quality from them is not
too bad but it's also not too good either. You can use the equalizer to adjust the sound
to your taste.
The only thing I dislike about the DMP-100 is that the unit only has 32
megs of memory. That means I run out of songs during my 1.5 to 2 hour workouts and have to
repeat some. Yes you can expand the memory of the unit using SmartMedia cards. I added a
32 meg SmartMedia card to the unit and that extended my musical enjoyment. However,
SmartMedia is very expensive. A 32 Meg card will set you back $80.
I really enjoy using the DMP-100. It was the perfect thing to take with me
for my workouts at Fitness World. Because there are no moving parts I don't have to worry
about the music skipping on me while I'm on the treadmill. The unit is so light that I
hardly notice I'm running with it. It sure has made my workouts go by a lot faster.
The see-though casing was always a topic of discussion whenever someone
saw the DMP-100. Some people loved it, some people hated it. For those who don't like to
see inside the DMP-100, D-Link does make a normal unit with a black casing.
Overall, I found the DMP-100 quite nice. It's main drawback is the lack of
memory. However that can be fix with the addition of SmartMedia cards. While D-Links sells
the DMP-100 for $179 at their online store, you can pick one up from online vendors for as
low as $149 (Go here to check it out). That's a really good price and well worth it if
you want to play music and record voice.
