Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy all your favorite music on the move with the TrekStor i.Beat organix FM digital music player. The unit--which supports MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF, and WAV audio formats and is compatible with secure WMA-DRM9 Internet music services--is compact and lightweight, with a sleek red housing that measures a mere 3.1 by 1.3 by 0.7 inches (W x H x D). More significantly, the i.Beat organix FM's 1 GB of flash memory stores enough music for almost any workout or commute--up to 16 hours of MP3 and 32 hours of WMA files. The device is no slouch from a playback perspective, either, with such options as repeat play (one or all songs), shuffle, repeat shuffle, folder, repeat folder, and resume. And navigation couldn't be easier thanks to the folder storage system and the four-line, two-color OLED display, which offers a 128 x 64 pixel resolution. Though the i.Beat organix FM is primarily designed for music, the unit also functions as a mobile storage device, with the ability to hold text files, small photos, and other data. Listeners will also dig the integrated voice recorder, which lets them record voice notes, lectures, and interviews in MP3 format for later use. The unit even offers a line-in jack for recording from an external source, such as a CD player or cassette deck. And should the music playback get a little tired by itself, you can turn on one of the dynamic visualization effects, which pulse to the beat of the music. As a bonus, the i.Beat organix FM offers a built-in FM tuner, which receives all your favorite FM stations while recording specific songs or programs. The tuner comes with 15 station presets and an automatic station search function for quick channel switching. Other details include SRS WOW surround sound effects; 11 predefined equalizer settings (auto EQ, user-defined, dance, eXtreme bass, jazz, classical, live, normal, pop, reggae, rock, SRS, and techno); settable play speeds; support for ID3 tagging; a text viewer that displays TXT files; a digital clock with an alarm, stopwatch, and sleep timer; a pair of headphone jacks to accommodate two listeners at once; and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface.

 "Died" after finally getting it to work October 27, 2007

I really wanted to like this player. My favorite colors are in the red "family" and the color black, and this player looked sharp, "cute" and simple. If only it performed as well.
At first it could not detect my computer (I have Windows Vista), so I feared compatibility issues, even though the box indicated it was Vista-ready. Once it finally recognized my laptop, I had to try and learn how to program the thing. Although this was my first mp3 player, I didn't expect it to be that hard to use. But I think the problem was simply that the player is defintitely not user-friendly. I can't tell you how many times I had to revert to the manual to do just about anything. I am not a stupid person by any means; I just found that the player is not very intuitive. You basically have two different buttons to navigate with ("menu" and "mode"), but where you go depends on how LONG you press each button. Pressing quickly brings you to one "place"; pressing a little longer, another. Then once you get to this particular "sub-level", so to speak, you need to navigate THAT level to get to where you truly want to be. I found it overly complicated and tedious.
On the plus side, the earphones are great (soundwise). I have a "regular" pair of Sennheissers, and they can't be beat..however, I find earphone plugs to be rather uncomfortable and sometimes struggle to keep them in my ears. That is a downside, to me.
Anyway..long story short: After spending hours figuring the player out and adding songs and programming the radio, the player suddenly decided to stop working. Tsk..and just when I was thinking I might be able to live with the players idiosyncrasies.
So now the player is on its way back to Amazon, and I've barely had it for 24 hours. I hope anyone else who decides to buy it has a better experience then I did. As for me, if I've learned anything, it's actually that I probably need to get a "bigger" (i.e more memory) player, anyway. ;-)

I had a iRiver T10 1 GB MP3 Player and tossed it in frustration. I purchased this player (TrekStor i.Beat Organix FM 1 GB MP3 Player with FM Tuner) because it behaves like a flash drive - not dependent on Windows Media Player (you can use it, but don't have to.) I use it constantly. It is highly configurable, easy to figure out without the manual, has a long battery life and sounds great. It feels much nicer than the iRiver, the buttons are great. It supports many file formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, ASF. Best of all it can use DRM but is not a slave to DRM. Next I'm buying the TREKSTOR 67136 Datastation Pocket x.u Portable 160GB Hard Drive & TREKSTOR 12GB USB-Stick CS-D Drive.
