Customer Reviews of Lexar JumpGear MPC064-231 MP3 Player with 64 MB JumpDrive Sport
Bad design Ordered this unit December 04. Good thing it had a two year warranty. Mine has been replaced twice. The connector for the headphone jack breaks and the actual jack falls inside the plastic body. Keep your receipt. The RMA process is kind of complicated.
DON'T GET THIS JUNK, it breaks, no customer service
I got two of these last year for our family, it worked great the first day, then the ear phone port broke on one, the other lasted only a few days longs. I called the company and found almost no customer service, they said I had to deal with the company directly, but offered no other help (like how to contact them). They both ended up in the garbage and we were out the money. This year we are spending a few more bucks and getting from a reputable company. If there were minus stars, I would give them a -10
Player has some problems with WMA files, some MP3 files
The idea of an mp3 player that uses removable storage is great. You can take a half-dozen jump drives with you in your pocket and have access to enough music for an entire vacation.

>But the Lexar media player has some problems:
<
>
<
>1) The USB drive seems loose when it is plugged in. Also, it seems to be getting looser - wearing out (as a previous reviewer has noted).
<
>
<
>2) The interface is terrible - very clumsy. The navigation wheel is also a button, but pushing it has no effect most of the time. I end up having to push the button a dozen times to get the song to play.
<
>
<
>3) The preset EQs are not very effective - none of them have emphasized bass, for example.
<
>
<
>4) Some mp3s play with a lot of background noise - like a low-level white noise or static. There is nothing wrong with the mp3s - they play perfectly on my iRiver player, in winamp, Windows Media Player, etc. Only the Lexar player has trouble with them.
<

<
>5) WMA support is very very poor. Most of my WMAs (encoded at 192Kbps) pop and skip when played through the Lexar media player. I have pretty much given up trying to play WMA files with it.
<
>
<
>6) Surprisingly, battery life isn't very good. The player takes two AAA batteries. I use 750mAh rechargables and get about 8 hours of playing time with them. By comparison, my iRiver player takes a single 2100mAh AA rechargable and lasts more than 20 hours. I am guessing that accessing the jump drive is expensive in power terms - not navigating around a lot (i.e. just letting the player play through the whole drive sequentially) could lengthen the battery life.

<
>Overall, I am happy with the price of this player and with the convenience of being able to load media to it without special programs (such as the iRiver players require). I am hoping that the player is flashable (though I don't have any reason to believe that it is) so that when Lexar works out the bugs that cause some mp3's and wma's to play poorly they can post a patch.
