<\/a>This time I tried the AGPtEK M20S 8GB Mini MP3 Player(Expandable Up to 64GB), Lossless Sound Touch Button Metal Music Player with FM\/Voice Record,Silver<\/a>![\"\"](\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=grlasbl0a-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B01N1WG5A0\")
and I love it, enough to recommend it.<\/p>\nHere are some of the specs from the manufacturer:<\/p>\n
<li>Tiny and Solid Construction: The metal body makes it sturdy with some weight. Mini and portable,only 3 x 0.3 x 1.2 inches.<\/li>\n\n<li>Lossless Sound Quality: High sound quality brings crystal clear sound wherever you are. Support audio formats: MP3\/WMA\/OGG\/APE(Normal\/Fast)\/FLAC\/WAV\/AAC-LC\/ACELP.<\/li>\n\n<li>Easy Operation with Touch Button: Designed with 6 touch buttons and 5 metal buttons,independent locking and volume control. Fashion and convenient operation.<\/li>\n\n<li>Multi-function: With music play, FM radio, FM\/voice recording, resume playback, folder view, clock screensaver, bookmarks etc.<\/li>\n\n<li>Long playback time: Up to 14 hours of audio playback with 2 hours of full charge. 8 GB digital storage media capacity, supports up to 64 GB (not included). To avoid incompatibility, please use AGPTek Memory Card.<\/li>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nDid you see that it holds a microSD? I’ve not used that feature, but that is pretty cool. It has folders you can divide the music up in, which is, essentially, a very efficient way of making a play list. I’ve also not tried to record music off the radio. I’ll probably never listen to music on this radio. I may, however, record Rachel Maddow now and then..<\/p>\n
At this point, being fairly new, I think it goes well beyond the 2 hour charge estimate.<\/p>\n
It is complicated, this little device, and therefore can not be operated with a single button like a Shuffle. So, it will take a little while to lerarn how to use it (perhaps a full five minutes). Just remember, the reverse U button backs you out, and that’s a great way to change modes. The menu hamburger button, while listening to a radio station, lets you make a preset or change the presets.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure that I loved the headphones. I remember not being too impressed with how they fit, but that’s going to be true for everybody vis-a-vis various headphones. I just plugged in my favorite headphones<\/a>![\"\"](\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=grlasbl0a-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B00NTR5GBO\")
and used them. I’d grab them and look them over one more time to give you my opinion, but it is possible that the cat ate them.<\/p>\nAlso, I just noticed, that if you get the AGPtEK<\/a> now and buy an additional item with it, like a microSD card or a wall charger, you can get a discount on something. I’m not in the market for any of those things so I didn’t look closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several weeks ago I tried once again, after many prior ill fated attempts over several years, to get a device that would play music, audio books, and be a radio.
