December 6, 2005 :: Machspeed TRIO MP3 Player, Drive and Voice Recorder.

The Machspeed Trio comes in several flavors: 128 Mbytes, 256 Mbytes or 512 Mbytes. No matter how avid of a listener you are, for a portable device that is also a USB drive, even the 128 MByte capacity is more than sufficient. Take 128 and divide it by 3, roughly, and you will get song capacity of the device. So roughly, that amount to 43 songs for the 128 MByte version. This device requires a AAA battery and nothing else. In the unanimous opinion of the review staff it beats the "why-Pod", hands down. You get cool earphones that attach to the device via a dangle strap as well as the earphone plug, which are very comfortable and sound very acceptable. The kicker is, it has a built-in equalizer, cool fade in-out mode between songs, a shuffle mode, and neon-like light show on its display. Forget the voice recorder. You're not going to get it for that. But, it's there! The battery life is decent, the controls are well laid out; you'll be a pro in no time, and the best part of all, no cumbersome programs to use to upload your Trio. Just plug it into a USB port, and you get a drive. Drag and drop MP3 files, or data, and you're good to go. And, it's a third of the price of a "why-Pod". Get it, and enjoy!
