 The best mp3 player/touch screen/ camara September 17, 2008
Beachaddict (Alajuela, CR)
I bought this great mp3 player 3 year ago in amazon.com, It was the best mp3 player of the year and always use it because the interface is very easy to use and the sound quality is extremely amazing. The m trip software provides disks information like author, albums and year. The battery is ok the first years but 3 years of extensive make that my battery loose charge. The camera has the same quality of a cell phone camera but is so useful, the only little problem I find to my m-robe 500i is the size is a little bit big. I think is time to look other mp3 player but is difficult find the replace for this extremely good mp3/touch screen/camera/hard drive/ player.

It was probably a really good idea, but honestly... its not very practical. Yeah 20 gigs is great but Most people dont have 250 cds of music they want to listen to all the time. Id stick with an Ipod. The camera isnt all that great, it needs to be high lighting and you have to hold absolutly still otherwise the picture sucks. I dont recommend it for noisy public places because the volume doesent get very high on these. It has semi-slow response time, definitly not nearly as fast as an ipod, but its not horrible either. Its heavy, quite heavy. Not like strain your arm heavy, but its rather uncomfortable to put in your pocket, and its 3 or 4 times thicker than an Ipod nano. and the battery lasts for like 2 hours on a full charge, because its powering a touch screen 3 or 4 inch display. You can turn off the screen like the ipod "hold" button, but then you cant change songs, youre stuck unless you turn the screen back on. br / br /Overall if youre not bothered by weight or size, then this is for you. If you need something slim, but holds music, stick with the Ipod, its not that much more expensive.
20GB! Tons of room so little time to fill it up!!! September 10, 2006

This is AMAZING you can take pictures (will ipod bring out a new one that's got camera funtions too?) Save your portfolio of pics, great for designers looking to share their work without tons of sketch books, not to mention create a slide show for your clients with pictures and music! How cool is that! br / br /But with so much room holding thousands (5000) of songs, you're going to have to search your house for every cd you own and still will have room for more songs! br / br /I won't recommend buying individual songs image just buying 1000 songs at 1.99 each is going to cost you $1990.00 dollars now multiple that by 5!

I like this particular digital audio player. For being Olympus' first venture into the d.a.p. market (as far as I know) this is a really good start. Too bad they decided to throw in the towel and have discontinued there d.a.p. line. br /There are problems with the mr:500. It is a little big and heavy, but it certainly does not feel cheap. The audio qaulity is not the best I have heard, but it is very decent. Also, if you like to blast your music then this is not the player for you. The mr:500 does not get very loud. br /The pros are that it has a very clear and bright screen, though it has a low viewing angles, you need to look at it straight on. The camera function is a neat idea (I wish it were a bit better quality but it is workable) and you can take, store and view a crap load of pictures. It has a very striking design and will get a lot of comments and start a lot conversations. The software is great; easy to use and fast. br /I can only imagine what the successor to this would have been, improved sound and camera quality, better volume, and smaller size; damn you Olympus for giving up so fast. This dap had the most potential of them all.
