 Nice, but save the sales receipt Jul 20, 2009
By Dave Angus
[Something went horribly wrong, and this review somehow ended up under a different MP3 player, not the Omnitech blue 2GB player. I do NOT own a pink MP3 player, just blue and orange ones.]
Good Things (in no particular order):
1) It sounds fine, but I never used the supplied ear buds. (NEVER judge a portable music device by the quality of the bundled ear buds or phones. Save them for when the good ones get lost or broken or to give to friends that always break them.)
2) Power saving settings can be defeated so it could run indefinitely if you supplied external power. Useful if you wanted to build it into something like a clock radio or play background music or sound effects.
3) It remembers the position in a tune if you shut it down in the middle of a song. This is great if you listen to very long tracks, like audio books, DJ mixes, or concert recordings.
4) Fast fast-forward, if you want to get 60 minutes into a long mix.
5) It'll play CD quality (lossless) WAV files.
6) Two earphone jacks if you want to share music.
7) Replaceable AAA battery, so there's no waiting around for it to recharge - just keep a spare battery with you.
8) No special software required to load music on it; just plug it into a USB port and it appears as a flash drive.
9) The plastic case has a sort of rubbery feel and there's a blue backlight on the display.
10) Maybe it goes without saying now, but it plays VBR MP3 files at high bitrates, and displays ID3 tags.
11) It can be used as a voice recorder using a built-in microphone.
12) It displays Japanese characters in tags.
13) 2GB holds a heck of a lot of music, even at 320K.
Meh Things:
1) There's "equalizer" settings for rock, pop, jazz, bass, under the settings menu when music is playing. Difficult to change quickly if one song needs a boost and the next one doesn't, unlike my ancient RCA Lyra that had a separate button for this function.
2) The language can be changed to English, French, Dutch, Swedish, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. That's the language it uses in the menus; it can't translate talking books from Dutch to Italian or anything that.
3) The manual doesn't mention that you can lock (and unlock) the controls by simultaneously pressing the M and > buttons. It takes careful timing to unlock it without putting it into STOP and losing your position.
Bad Things:
1) It may freeze permanently. Mine did this, and other people have had it happen. This may be triggered by not leaving enough free space on the flash drive. Know the warranty period, and save the receipt. [update: It is possible to copy firmware from a good player to a bricked one. This requires programs like "Firmware Hammer" and "M566xISP.zip". If you still have a good player, it would be sensible to hunt down M566xISP and save a copy of pm.bin as a backup.]
2) It doesn't always save the position after a battery failure, at least not when using NiMH cells for power.
3) The display is small and hard to read. Not good for people with low vision.
4) It's hard to get the battery out of the compartment; loop a strip of ribbon, or thin plastic (cut from a plastic shopping bag) around it. I tore part of the casing off a NiMH battery prying it out.
6) Only one colour of backlighting. Blue LED was cool in the '90s, but in the new millennium I demand a choice.
7) No socket for expanding storage with SDHC cards.

 Wonderful for listening to podcasts Jan 15, 2010
By John
There's no touchscreen, no color, it can't play videos and its 2 GB of memory is not expandable. Despite these facts this little player is my favorite device for listening to podcasts. I wouldn't trade this for an iPod, Zune or any other trendy music player. See below for the reasons why this simple player is my favorite:
PROS:
Cheap, easily replaced.
Uses AAA battery. No need to wait for a recharge - just pop in another battery. Use rechargable AAA batteries and save even more money.
Built in USB, no cables necessary.
No special software needed - just plug it in and drag & drop your music to it.
Plays WMA and MP3 files.
Use as a thumb drive to store any files (not just music).
Built in microphone for simple voice recording.
Robust. I've dropped it several times on hardwood, concrete, etc and it just keeps working. I even dropped it in water once and it still worked after it dried out.
Two headphone jacks enables two people to listen at the same time.
Best feature: it "bookmarks" the currently playing file when you turn it off (or it loses power). This means when its powered on again it starts playing from where the interruption occurred. This feature makes listening to podcasts much easier.
CONS:
None really.

 poorly engineered, died Aug 28, 2009
By Mr Geology
Do not but this product. The control buttons are all exposed and easily bumped, making it difficult to carry around. The display is tiny and cluttered. It froze up permanently for no reason, and now I have no music for a trip I will taking tomorrow. I am an experienced and cautious electronics user and this thing has been a frustration from the first day. Actually, I'm glad that it stopped working, because now I don't have to deal with its poor design anymore.
omnitech mp3 player Feb 27, 2012

I used this product for 3 or 4 days and then it froze, I had to send it back to the company to get a staples credit. There is a reason staples doesnt carry it anymore, it sucks. It has been 2 weeks and I still have not gotten my money or coupon from the manufacture. Very dissapointed with this product and Omnitech policy. I did not buy this product from Staples , so why should I get a staples credit coupon.
Mine froze too! Oct 26, 2010

I saw one online and thought I'd risk $11 plus mailing on it from shopgoodwill.com. I would not have paid full price after reading the other reviews here.
Anyway, it arrived working, with some music on it that I removed and put some of my own on. With 1.3 GB of my music on it, it was working good. It had a good sound and it seemed a good product.
Then I had to get greedy and fill it the rest of the way with my music. I had read about it freezing when it got overfull, so I was careful to leave over 26 MB on its capacity. However when I disconnected it from the computer and powered it back up, it was frozen, and is now completely useless, not even recognizable by the computer for use as a flash drive.
So apparently this is a 2GB mp3 player, but adding some unspecified amount of files between 1.3 and 2 GB to it will cause it to crash irreversibly.
I'm intrigued by the possibility of using software to replace the firmware program, as mentioned by Dave Angus in his review. But I don't know that that's been done with this model, and you would need the specific firmware file for this player, which someone would have to make available. That would be a good project for the product support people, if it is feasible. I'd be happy to download a few things to make it work again, but until such day this mp3 player is just a bad joke on me as far as I'm concerned.
