I'd have to agree with you there.

Yeah, you can get it to work under Linux and OS X too.

Im curious cause I have an old 64MB RCA Kazoo and I need Musicmatch and I hate having to install it since I use Winamp.

Like Sazar said, it should work fine with WMP10, which is a great app.
You can also look at DJ Explorer (free) or Dudebox Explorer (not free) if you want to drag-and-drop files through Explorer.

Cool!

**Sazar** · January 22nd, 2005

I dun like the other apps... wmp10 is where I play my music from and it organises things better than musicmatch IMO...

use that or musicmatch plus to get best results..

btw there are some awesome new cases coming out for the pocket DJ soon

**NetRyder** · January 22nd, 2005

I agree. If I had one of those, I'd use it with WMP10 too...even more so since it's my primary media player anyway. Just pointed out the other ones since I know that there are people who prefer the drag-and-drop way of doing things

**Admiral Michael** · January 22nd, 2005

Well I use WMP but just as a player not as a media library. I use winamp for that.

**~bk** · January 23rd, 2005

Any chance of posting the review soon, Sazar?

Take your time though.

From his previous post, I think it might be a while. Maybe you could post any specific questions you have, and he could answer them for you? You've already seen actual pictures of the thing now anyway.

**Sazar** · January 23rd, 2005

I've written most of the stuff already... pics and editing are all thats really left but I don't have time right now

if you have questions... lemme know

**~bk** · January 23rd, 2005

I guess I'll wait for the review then.

At the moment, I have one question. Is the backlight of the DJ really dark? Looks like it in the pictures?

**Sazar** · January 23rd, 2005

you can adjust the backlight...

its a lovely blue color actually and any time you touch a button or the scroll/click wheel it lights up nice and blue with dark text which really stands out nicely...

when its simply running, to save battery life teh only LED which lights up is the power button on the top of the device which lights up blue...

you can also change the contrast ratio to your liking...

Very nice.

I'm quite liking this player.. I think I'll have to go with this.

**Sazar** · January 24th, 2005

for just music playing... its a nice little gadget to have...

can't do anything else with it but play music... but for what it does... it does it well enough for me

**~bk** · January 24th, 2005

Yes, that's exactly what I want. A mini music player.

Don't really care for colored screen, FM Tuner, or Voice Recorder that some players have.

**Sazar** · January 24th, 2005

well 3 things... make sure you get a case for it (the new ones coming out... specially the black one with silver edging are NICE, with flip cover and gap @ top for your accessories to connect), if you have a car, make sure you get an FM adaptor or cassette kit to listen to stuff in your car... and lastly make SURE you get Complete Care accidental coverage if it is offered in your area...

it is not offered everywhere but if it is it sure helps in case you drop the DJ or spill something on it or something scratches the glass... dell replaces it

Actually I'll be ordering it from Dell.ca. And I will make sure to get the waranty.

Oh and I saw the flip cover. Looks awesome!

just need to ask my dad now. :P

**NetRyder** · January 25th, 2005

Sweet!

**NetRyder** · January 26th, 2005

Bilal, I posted this link in your thread on Neowin. Thought I'd post it here too for anyone else who wanted to read a decent review before Sazar gets around to doing his.
