Those "reviews" are pretty suspect, but green anyway because Walgreens will take anything back in store, even if you buy it online.

This unit got great reviews from dapreview, a great resource for all things portable and media related...

Nice price too - green for you. More images available at OldEgg.

4gb sd card $24.99
no name sd mp3 player $19.99
why would anyone pay $99.99
for the meizu when anyone
can have the same for much less.


   posted: May. 7, 2007 @ 2:36p

Looks pretty good. Any idea how the image quality is on it?

this is a great price for a great player! please show me how i can have the 'same' for much less...and i mean - which no-name sd mp3 player + which 4gb card and then finally tell me how much it will all cost...

joke, right?

4gb sd - rebate risk
no-name mp3 player - lack of 2.4" tft screen, fm tuner, video, possible *unix support, decent gui, etc..

as it said in dapreview, this thing gives apple products a real run for the money, if you don't mind the brand. With the barebones approach you're taking, you're looking at screenless mp3 players (like the shuffle), not this.

I bought the 2 gb version for my wife last year and I have to say these are very good media players. I am planning to buy one myself.
The battery life is amazing and the sound and video quality is exceptional. Great value for the price.
You can always jump on the meizume forums for help.

Here are a couple of issues I've had with it:
1) The touch controls can be a bit sensitive at times
2) Some of my FLAC files will not play
3) Some videos, if not properly sized and/or encoded will leave you with a black screen. (you need to know how to do a hard reset using the buttons)

this is very tempting...unfortunately i have my eyes set on the new samsung mp3 players...but this is really nice...

If you check FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) hardware site,

FLAC Hardware

There is a MEIZU M6 Miniplayer. Is it the same one with this ?
M6 get good reviews; though it's a rising name in China, not globaly, so far.

Yes it is the same one.

You should not have even considered anything BUT green, anyone who knows the market knows that this player is a market leader despite it's allegedly stolen design traits. The number of posts from clueless individuals like the person who said you can get a no name MP3 player with SD card and be happy posting in this thread is amazing. This product is at the very least as good as any comparable player to come out of creative/apple and some armchair warrior compares it to a cheapo sd card based 99 cent special? Do some research before you guys post, if you have never heard of Meizu then you probably shouldn't post saying what its equals are. It's a solid player.

great mp3( meizu m6 ) from china, i have one.

very very solid mp3.

Wow, this thing looks amazing...

Plays xvid? Does it require converting? Would it work if I just dragged and dropped an .avi file on there? (ex. anime, in xvid or mp4 format).


   posted: May. 7, 2007 @ 4:47p

you would need to convert/re-encode to a smaller res, lower bitrate, lower framerate.

from the what i saw in the reviews i think its possible to just drag and drop .avi but if not they give you a program to convert it.

all in all i personally would rather go through the extra bit of hassle than buying episodes off itunes.

This player is MEIZU MiniPlayer, and its nickname is MEIZU M6. I bought a 4G TP version with luxury pack from China. TP version uses Toshiba screen, while SP version uses SAMSUNG screen. TP version is better, but now you can only buy an SP version.

Both TP version and SP version have the same quality except the screen. It's a good player with good price. But to be honest, when you play movies on it, the speed is a little bit slow, although it can play XviD encoded Avis. I'd rather watch movies on my PPC phone.

I would recommend you guys to buy one. Who will always watch movie on an MP3 player? Come on, it's not a PSP!
