ilo 1GB MP3 Player

August 18, 2006

ilo 1GB MP3 Player orangeCool gadget alert!

If you’re looking to get into the world of MP3 players (I was late to the game, I admit), I can now personally recommend this nifty little ilo MP3 player from Wal-Mart.

So here are the product details with my commentary (because I love to make commentary!) in bold italic - which is quite ugly, I might add, but I think you can at least see what the marketing people wrote vs. what I wrote.

  • Slim, compact digital audio MP3 player - it’s cute too!
  • 1 GB storage capacity - mmm a yummy gigabyte
  • Stores up to 480 songs - I will never have time to add that many
  • Perfect companion for working out or sports activities with sport design with rubber grip - working out? yeah, or just listening while vacuuming, ’cause ya can
  • Includes case and armband for protection and accessibility - case! armband!
  • Solid state memory for skip free playback - no skips here
  • Simple and intuitive menus for navigation and customizing your player - yeah the menus rock
  • FM tuner with 20 presets and recording capability to record your favorite radio programs - if you’re into FM, ok
  • Easy to use Voice Recording feature - i recorded. it worked.
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life on one AAA alkaline battery - haven’t timed it, but this does seem about right
  • Supports easy drag and drop song transfer from your PC - there is a learning curve if you’re new to players in general, but it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it
  • SD/MMC memory expansion slot (up to 1GB)
  • USB 2.0 connection for hi-speed music transfers
  • Screen display is black LCD with white lettering and a white backlight - again, cute! woo!
  • Comes with 12 pre-loaded tracks - ugh, they SUCK! delete immediately!

The price is decent, and the player comes with 10 free music downloads from walmart.com, which is a nice little bonus.

One word of caution: THIS PLAYER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ITUNES! I repeat, THIS PLAYER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ITUNES! Once more, for the record: THIS PLAYER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ITUNES!

So don’t go buy one and then yell at me, k?

No iTunes was no biggie for me, as I use Wal-Mart for music downloads anyway.

Did I mention they come in purdy colors?

And you can check out the great selection of tunes available for download right here:

Price: $69.84
Available (in multiple colors) from Wal-Mart.com
