Pine D'Music MP3 Player

AnandTech Rating

Audio Quality/Performance

The audio playback quality of the D’Music is definitely above average with great bass and treble output.  The equalizer presets do a great job of providing optimal audio playback for a wide variety of music genres.  In addition, MP3 songs at 128kbps provide the best audio playback.

Features

The D’Music comes with many of the same features as other MP3 players on the market.  The LCD screen is small yet is displays a multitude of information and the red LED light indicates when you are running low on memory when making voice recordings.  However, the D’Music utilizes a parallel port connection and does not support Windows 2000.

Price

The base D’Music player costs $160 without the optional 32MB SmartMedia card which costs an additional $80.  The additional SmartMedia card is quite pricey but 32MB of onboard memory does not offer the greatest amount of music storage.

Availability

The Pine D’Music player is available at a wide variety of major online vendors and a few electronic retailers.

Documentation & Software Bundle

The manual does a great job of providing all the necessary procedure for operating the D’Music with accurate illustrations.  However, the trial versions of the included software are of little value due to the limited functionality.
