This product is poorly designed and will fail within two months. The screen failed on mine as well as the battery cutting out. Transcend refused to honor their warranty, because I opened the back to fix the battery connection. Two weeks after the battery problem the screen dims and can not be adjusted. from Tigerdirect.com Pros: Cheap, fast, enough memory space 4GB!, great sound, easy to use Cons: When is full it takes about 20 secs to start, WHO CARES! from Shopping.com "T.sonic 630 is, remarkably, a very versatile MP3 Player that not only plays the usual MP3, WMA, and recorded WAV music files but also WMA-DRM10 (subscription music). Besides this, it has many impressive extra features, which we shall discuss later. from Techtree.com This product is poorly designed and will fail within two months. The screen failed on mine as well as the battery cutting out. Transcend refused to honor their warranty, because I opened the back to fix the battery connection. Two weeks after the battery problem the screen dims and can not be adjusted. from Amazon.com This is a wonderful digital voice recorder. Four sound recording qualities available. from Amazon.com So the work around for now with large numbers of files in certain main category like directories is, should be splitted up into separate directories for a bit of faster file access. I think it's still possible to have at least the "shuffle files in folder" added in one of the repeat modes in future firmware upgrades, and oh man will that make my day. Other than that, it's still a great mp3 only player where 4GB should be enough for a music only type of player. Some of the mentioned features are, you also have a choice on which quality you want to choose when recording, especially with an extra line-in jack(heck, I bought a 512mb voice recorder for $80 for the same reason) but I have yet to try it. from Amazon.com I was looking for a basic MP3 player with an FM tuner and came across this unit. The T.sonic 630 has proven to be a good choice. It has several strong points. from Amazon.com You can monitor the recording since it has separate line-in & headphone jacks. Many other mp3 players/recorders have one shared jack. You can choose from from a record rate of 8khz mono that would give you over 200 hours on the 4GB version of cell phone quality audio ( for notes or recording meeting) to 44khz stereo that gives you recordings that sound almost as good as the source you are recording. And you still get 24 hours at 44khz. from Amazon.com EDIT: I did play around with it a little longer and it appears that there is a bug in the latest firmware. Text seems to be a bit garbled up when changing tracks in mp3 mode after going out of recording an FM radio show in radio mode so watch out. from Amazon.com I bought this mp3 player mainly because of its recording capablities. It has a built in mike and an input for a line-in or external mike. from Amazon.com
