My 1st Million At 33 - yes, you can do it too

I recently got a MP3 player, which I’m using mainly for voice recorder rather than the music player.

I wanted to use the voice recording function in my Samsung cell phone, even though fully featured, but less well-deisigned than Nokia’s phone. Using Samsung’s phone, I can’t voice record a new message without navigating thru menu items and rename the previously created voice file.

Since a simple voice recording function is important to me, I decided to get a dedicated MP3 player/voice recorder. After lots of shopping around, I finally found this MP3 player from Nextar. You can use it also to listen to FM radio. And the 2GB version is only $15 from tribeca tech solutions. The shipping was $7 for one or two MP3 players. The similar model but only 1GB sells for $25 at Walmart.

I think one of the frequent problems that people have with MP3 player is that the rechargeable battery eventually goes dead sooner or later. This model MA566-200 uses an AAA battery. You end up with a more bulky case to enclose it, but at least your unit should never runs out of batteries (even though the battery life is only 12 hours of playing music). In any case, you can choose to use rechargeable AAA battery, so that you don’t need to buy a special $20 rechargeable NiMH battery for a $15 MP3 player.

Anyway. I’m glad that I’ve got this. I almost always have a million things to do, such that I often forget about what I needed to do. With my new voice recorder, I can simply carry it around for recording without the earphones, but only going over my list of things-to-do at office or at home.
