new to MP3 players 92220-3446I am 71 yrs. old. I have never used an MP3 player but have decided maybe it would be good because I am tried of paying for CD's to get just a few songs I like. The most critical thing is that I hate headphones. Can you use them without headphones? After reading some of the questions I realize I could also just download to my computer. Is this a good option instead of getting an MP3 player. I feel so stupid about these. I set up a wireless connection by myself and regularly download movies with my TIVO, I am computer literate and not afraid of new technology. I just could never see why I would want to carry music around unless it was in my car. Do those docks have speakers?Can someone please help me? Thanks new to MP3 players 92220-3446I am 71 yrs. old.

Fussy About Clock Radios,If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay.iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped.Godspeed!~SWWPD

No to both questions. A warning if you have'nt purchased this player. The cd player is crap--it stops playing intermittently with evey cd I try to play. A lesson to be learned here is that with cheap prices come cheap electronics.I would not recommend this product. Even the connections for the speaker wires when inserted into the radio/cd unit don't fit tight and have to be played with to get a solid connection. The am band in my area --Long Island N.Y. is bad and you can't turn the unit around in the hopes of getting a stronger signal because of the wires for the speakers and the placement of the unit if you do get a good signal---the tuning buttons and tuner knob may not be facing you it may be facing away from you. This is my experience with this purchase. Spend more money to hopefully to get a better product.

The one displayed, which I own does not have an mp3 player. Keep looking thought. GPS manufacturers are getting very creative. Particularly the after market car radio/GPS combos. Look at Best Buy. I was there today and was very impressed with the selection.

Hi Paul! I pulled out my user guide and it states that the unit is "not compatible with MP3 CDs." I truly hope this helps!

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

Hey, Darren this is a stand alone unit so you will be able to play it without having it hooked up to a t.v. If you look at the speakers specifications you will notice that it has multiple ways of playing media. You can connect any device to it that has a 3.5mm headphone jack. You can also load up and use an SD card with mp3s since it has a slot for it as well. If you don't have an SD card you can do the same with a USB stick drive because it supports that too. If all those options are not enough you can also play your music via Bluetooth. You're set these speakers got you covered.

ok thanks, I was thinking about buying a sansa fuze 8gb mp3 player on black friday and I wanted to know if i could make it at least 16gb total with the mirco sd card and now that I know I can, I will be buying the mp3 player. thanks again.

I do not use that feature. I have tried the USB feature on several devices didn't like the lack of options so I only use mp3 players. Not having a choice of play lists and shuffle is not an option for me. As for the unit being a POS as suggested by another poster I haven't had a problem with it. It's a cheap no frills amplifier, it plays stereo. I have a high end receiver for other applications but in my shop this is perfect. It's been on for months and plays music 12 hrs a day.

Does anyone know...I bought a new computer, and now I can't charge or do anything with my mp3.And I don't have the disk or anything else that came with the mp3, what do I do? Please help...

I've been using this GPX player for about 4 months now, Mr. Webster, and I honestly can not tell any difference between how this player sounds compared to other MP3 players I have used in the past.There is an EQ on this player which, if I recall correctly, has seven different settings...pretty much what ones you would typically find on an MP3 player.To answer your last question...I am afraid I am unable to answer that because I have never had possession of a cowon e2. You unfortunately would have to purchase this GPX player to find out for yourself. SO SORRY!I truly hope I have satisfactorily answered your inquiries for you. Have a wonderful day!

Actually, I had not tried it. I use the 3.5mm input. So I tried a generic MP3 player, an iPod Classic, and a USB stick that I dumped some songs onto. Not only does it not auto-play when turned on, I can't get it to play at all! The LED next to the USB port blinks as if it's playing, and stops blinking when you hit pause, but no sound ever happens. Not good. I don't need that feature at all, but I suggest this is probably not going to do what you need. It's a decent enough amp in all other ways - I use it to play my iPod (analog out) in my work shop and it's fine for that. But I'd avoid this amp for anything fancy like you're asking.

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

Sounds like Sam W J found yet another problem with this MP3 player. Both of mine failed and the USB was not disconnected. Also there was no way to tell if there was a 0 byte file on the player because the computer couldn't see the player.In the meantime I'm using my Creative Zen Nano Plus -- transfering old cassette tapes, Recording FM radio programs, as well as using it for all the features of the Sansa. It's menu is quite different but all in all it's a better player.

Hello, I have had a number of these players and like them a lot. For an older style they do very well. Not sure if it comes with a USB cable...but they are easy to get. As for music when they are charging, these use a battery so no need to worry about charging. :-)

Not technically proficient enough to know what MP3's I am using. Some were from out of print vinyls. I will just say that they worked very well and seemd just as nice in my home set-up or my car stereo.Really improved the old vinyls. As for your car, if it is older and still has the cassette player up front, you can buy what looks like a cassette with a line on it. That goes on your Zen and it then plays through your car speakers. Newer cars usually have some small opening for running your cellphone, MP3 or other extra device through the sound system.

Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print. I didn't even look at it. The thing is pretty self explanatory. Plug it into computer, go to MY COMPUTER, open the MP3 player, drag and drop MP3s into the MP3 player, unplug from computer, plug speakers into player, hit play. Button on top is the on/off. Then there are these buttons on the bottom to scroll through the limited menus (songs, EQ, repeat...) the silver button is to select what ever you have highlighted and then there is a back button, when pushed it will remember your selection. Play/pause and stop buttons are pretty obvious. Nothing fancy but it plays music and that's all I wanted. It is SUPER tiny. Sort of. It came with this tiny folded booklet with itty bitty print.
