Does anyone have this Tesco MP3 player and can post the specifications.

"Technika MP-106 256MB MP3 Player (Black)"
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-3836.aspx

--------------------

Am interested in knowing the following for when it is RECORDING FROM THE
MICROPHONE:

(1) what sort file formats it uses for recordings (eg MP3, WAV-PCM,
WMA).

(2) what different settings it can make for audio quality.

Well, although it doesn't look exactly the same, it appears to be a
generic Chinese made MP3 player, similar to those found here;
http://www.s1mp3.org/en/index.php

However, for an extra 27 pence, you could get one from eBuyer that does
exactly the same, but with 512mb storage capacity :-)

Maybe but I had one from ebay that broke after a few months and the
vendor had vanished, at least tesco will still be there

Note that I said eBuyer, not eBay :-)

I bought a generic one from eBuyer about 16 months ago, and upuntil it
was stolen last night, it never gave me a moment of trouble despite
being used for a minimum of 2 hours a day!

Looks like the files are WMA according to this
http://www.s1mp3.org/en/docs_hwspecs.php but with no info about the
quality.

At Tesco I get it in my hot hand! :-)

The message
from "Semach.the.monkey" contains these words:

I'm returning one to eBuyer tommorow 'cos it's died - luckily within
guarantee.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Most players will store any file format and play wma or mp3 (probably
wav too). It's up to you which you use

Whatever quality you want. It's just a storage device like your hard drive

But would have to be in a format that the MP3 player can read.


What you call "the MP3 player" is a program which simply looks for files in
MP3 format on the available memory. Whatever else is there, be it .TXT or
..JPG, it just ignores.
Plug it into a USB socket on a PC, and you can copy anything to the memory.

partly true, but you will find that certain players will play mp3 files of
certain bitrates, i believe that what the OP was asking, for instance look @
the spec of this player http://tinyurl.com/yg79gf and note the codecs and
bitrates supported, incidently, looks much like the Tesco's one.............

Let's hope the grammar and spelling on the website are better
than in this post.

Who cares, I don't think I'll be going there
