Olympus m:robe MR-100

When I first got the Olympus m:robe MR-100 MP3 player I was seriously pleased, but after little usage the battery life slowly became less and less. After a year of having the m:robe (and not using it often AT ALL) battery life is down to a tiny 2 hours, which is pretty shocking. Another thing about this MP3 player is the amount of times it froze on me, which then required me to leave it playing for the whole 2 hours that it did play, until the battery died.

Overall, I recommend you stick the iPod for a little extra money; it's worth it!

All and all this Olympus m:robe MR-100 is a great mp3 player for a really good price if your looking for a mp3 player that will hold quiet a bit of songs and looks are amazing this is the mp3 player for you.

I bought the Olympus M:Robe MR-100 on a whim at a radio shack because i saw it wa pretty cheap for the memory. i have never made a better impulse buy in my life. the software is relatively easy to use, the device's interface is VERY user-friendly. the battery lasts me up to 2 weeks of regular use without recharging and it costs less than half of what an iPod costs.

I bought the Olympus m:robe MR-100 portable MP3 player for my daughter. She ended up getting an iPod for Christmas as well, and gave it back as she much preferred the m:robe. Buy from Morgan Computers in the UK - it's only £85.

For the price, you cannot get a better MP3 player than the Olympus m:robe MR-100. The software takes a little getting used to, similar to most MP3 software. The trick I found was to copy your playlists over instead, it will also create a new folder as well. The MP3 player is as small as a Creative Labs Nomad Zen, and it's definitely $200 cheaper than the iPod Nano.

The Olympus m:robe MR-100 is a great looking device with a easy to use interface and firmware. The PC software isn't as easy to use as itunes but that's not a big issue. Great value for what it is - only gripe is that there is no where to hand a lanyard to carry it around.

It looks better than any other mp3 player IMHO.

The software works.

It sounds very good, nice deep bass, detailed mids and highs that are detailed without beoing shrill.

Nice dock (dont have to use it - cable also provided).

Fair price, I paid £150 and am very happy.
