A couple days ago I got tired of my little portable radio at work. To be honest I been tired of it for a while, every time my cellphone would get a call I would suddenly hear that, even before my phone was telling me I was getting a call. My husband for a while was trying to sale me on getting a Ipod when we had money. I have tried a couple at the Apple, and didn’t like it. It was hard to use, this was about a year ago, so I decided I wanted nothing to do with a MP3 player, since I couldn’t get it to work correctly in the store.
I am pretty tech smart, so usually I can figure out how to use electronics, there are few I can’t figure out. Well my old radio started having trouble holding a charge on it’s battery and I didn’t want to keep replacing AAA batteries they aren’t exactly cheap. My husband a couple weeks ago go a Insignia and seemed happy with it. It had 4 gigs of memory and was red. I think his favorite color might be red.
Well we went back to Best Buy this week for me. My husband and I had looked at other models together when he was looking for his self, so I basically did all the work I needed to do. The Insignia brand seemed easy to me, so I might as well give it a try right.
Buying a MP3 player or an Ipod is similar to buying the right Franke sinks for your house. You have to make sure it matches with your personality, or your likes. If it doesn’t your probably not going to be very happy with it.
The Insignia that I got comes in 3 colors; red, black and blue. I got the blue one with 4 Gigs of memory. Well I took it home and downloaded it software into my laptop. My laptop decided No, I don’t wanna do this for you, so I am going to not start up when it tells you to do so. So laptop didn’t to start, fine. Took it to the bedroom desktop computer, with Vista. It downloaded very quickly and I didn’t even need to restart the computer for it to work.
Let me start by saying the instruction on how to use it is not clear. Make sure you first install all of the software then plug in your Insignia. There are a couple of ways you can transfer songs into your player, it not to hard. Just know that you need to move songs from your “my song list” to get it to work. I tried getting it to do so from the CD but it didn’t think that was a good idea.
My little MP3 player has FM radio on it. I listen to it for a while, it good. When I get a phone call or text message it does not tell me it coming before it gets to my phone. Honestly I don’t think the Video player is all that good it so tiny that well it just not worth watching video or shows on, but I didn’t buy it for that. I got it, so I could listen to songs I like, sermons that I didn’t get to listen to yet, and maybe a couple of audio books.
I really have enjoyed my new little player it is very light weight, easy to forget it in the pockets or where it is at. I will have to make sure, when I do laundry not to do the boneheaded thing of leave it in my pockets so it can be washed. It is easy to turn up the volume or turn down, and easy to navigate through it. I was able to find everything that I needed right away.
So far I have no dislikes, and only likes.
