Agptek music player review
that its userfriendly for long audiofiles (audiobooks and podcasts) And that you could tickle a few extra hours battery life with Rockbox out of it was a nice bonus. The clip+ was the first player i specificly chose because it was recomended as a good player for Audiobooks. I am not really someone with much knowledge in the field of mp3 player.
#AGPTEK MUSIC PLAYER REVIEW UPDATE#
I dont know if a firmware update could resolve those issues but as it stands now its a good player for music but not for anything with longer playing times. Its infuriating if you push it during a long file and just wanted to use another equializer setting. There is a keylock but thats of no help in such cases. With a player of that size and buttondesign it happens all the time that you accidentaly push it when you simply handle it. So everytime you accidently just push it you jump to the next title or (if there is just one file in the folder) restart it. In direct link to the slow fast forward is that you cant deactivate the "skip to next title- option" of this button. So in practice if i have a file thats 2 hours long you have to continuously push the button down for severaly minutes to get to the 1 hour mark. If you hold the button down the fastest speed is around "20-30 second jumps" fast forward for every second you hold the button.
The biggest flaw is the agonizingly slow fast forward. I use mp3- Players mainly for listening to podcasts and audiobooks where single files can easily reach upto several hours playtime. Soundquality is good enough for my untrained ears. 8 GB filespace is quite enough for me although it can be extended with extra micro sd cards. Cant judge the battery life yet but i assume with 35 hours promissed (considering how much luck you have with the battery and how high you turn the volume) it should be at least 30 hours. Good enough to see everything displayed clearly. The display again is similar to the clip +. The design itself is alright(quite close to the clip+), the buttons work ok and the clip on the back makes a sturdy impression. Well now i hold the "A12" in my hands i have to admit that i am dissapointed.
