Hi everyone!
When I purchased my first MP4 player a while ago I was very pleased by the reviews everyone gave me so here's one back
The player I bought is a 2gb 2.4" TFT (320x240!!) rockchip meizu clone (it calls itself a mini MP4). You can find it
here.
It has 6 buttons, a standard USB port for charging and data, a small speaker (witch can make quite some noise), a NOT STANDARD headphone plug and a MINI SD slot.
My first impression of the player when I unpacked it was very good. When I first booted it I was impressed by the VERY clear screen and the nice design.
In the menu I can chose: Music, Video, Photo, Text, Record, Explorer, Game, and settings.
When I click music it just plays every music file on the player. And if I click menu again I can brows through folders.
The Video playback is really good. It plays XVID (.avi) files at 24 FPS at high resolution. I can definitely watch a whole movie on it.
It has a build in mic which performs good
I think I don’t use the other options very much so I wont mention them.
It is a GREAT player but there are some things that could be improved:
-I’m missing the FM radio function (but I’m sure there are players like this one that do have it)
- There is a not standard headphone plug on it (now I have to buy a conversion thing)
- I’m missing the function to play a map including the subfolders (or I just haven’t found it yet)
- It can handle a limited number of subfolders I think you can go 5 deep or something like that.
- The folder browsing is slow. If you have hundred folders (for hundred artists like I have) it takes ages to reach the middle one. But I wrote a little piece of software to fix that. It reorganizes the folders in alphabetical Maps. For example: the maps “Red hot chilly peppers, “rolling stones”, “robbie williams”etc. can al be found in a map called “R”. You can download it
Here (please give me a feedback if u use it. I’m thinking of making a version with MUCH more functions so if you like it please tell me!)
Here are some pictures:
I really think this is a GREAT player and I can recommend it to everyone!!!
I still have two questions left:
Is it possible (In ANY way) to get new/modify the firmware/themes on a rockchip player??
When I bought this player I asked the seller (Twice!!) if this player has MINI SD or normal SD. He said (twice! and the ebay site said it to) NORMAL SD. so I bought a 2GB SD card. Now I got it has MINI SD :evil: :evil: :evil: what should I do?
Thanks for reading!
