Machspeed Trio 512 MB MP3 Player Reviews

Summary: Just like renting. Pay your money, use it for six months, and then it's gone.
Comment: I've owned mine for awhile, and I enjoyed it for six months. Then it gave out. It refuses to power up, even with a new battery. It powers up when you plug it into a USB port, but then you find out that it has lost all of the data and its formating. I've reformatted and put new audio files on it, but they don't stay very long. Not recommended.

Comment: My wife bought this for me so I could record audio quickly and scroll around playing back stuff and deleting what I don't want. I find it to be a completely unintuitive product. Most of the display is unreadable to my 50 y.o. eyes, even with reading glasses, and it has just been $40 worth of frustration for me. The audio quality seems good, the features sound good in the manual but implementation of them is another story. I thought I was just impatient and needed to read the manual more carefully, but after I did that I found the manual was just flat out wrong or misstated some of the products functions. Example: Manual says to turn player on, press and hold play button for 5 seconds. This is not true, you simply press it and it turns on. If you hold it for five seconds it turns off. Manual goes on to say that to stop playing a song you hold the play button for 3 seconds. This will actually turn the whole player off. 5 seconds are not actually required. Having the same button that with one press turns the player on, with another press plays a song (if you are in the right mode), with another press and some amount of holding pauses the song, with another press and more holding but not too much ends the song, and with yet another press and more holding turns the player off is simply assigning too much responsibility to one button. The interface is unusable to me, I would not buy from this company again.

Summary: Bogus Rebate!!!! BUYER BEWARE-UNDERHANDED COMPANY THAT CHEATS THEIR CUSTOMERS!
Comment: I purchased many items with rebates last Christmas. Digging through my records it looks as though this is the only one that didn't come. I bought it and mailed the items out correctly, and on time.
Today reading the small print and wondering why I didn't get my money, I discovered it says you have to wait 10 weeks to get your rebate, but if you don't receive it, you must contact them no later then 120 days after the promotion ends. So you have to wait 70 days, then somehow remember that you were not sent the rebate, but before 120 days is up, you have to remind them that you still want it. Otherwise you forfeit your rebate. What a scam this is. Shame on you Machspeed Technologies. All for a stupid $10 rebate. Very underhanded company.
Now to just post this review for every item they sell!
