MediaREADY intros Aero MP3 players
We've known MediaREADY a good long while for their all-inclusive set-top boxes, but their new Aero DAP, and it's forerunner, a nano-knockoff named Glider, have rather failed to excite. The new Aero player features MP3, WMA (no word on PlaysForSure), ASF and WAV playback, along with FM, voice recording and an "eye-popping" color selection (see above). The players range from 128MB to 2GB in storage capacity, and include USB 2.0 for speeding songs over to the boring little unit. Luckily, prices start at $29, so you might have one of the lamer MP3 players on the planet, but at least you'll have a bit of money in the bank. The Aero should be out this October.

that player is junk. I own an unbranded version I bought off ebay because it was a cheap 2GB player with a radio. The controls stink and there is background hissing noise while playing. I would not suggest buying it, at all.

100's, possibly 1000's of these to be found under many different names. Suprised you covered this to be honest.

I gots one of these puppies rebranded by Centon, and though it's a decent little player for the price, this thing is old, old news.

Not to mention that playlist -sorry FOLDER- navigation is a huge pain on these things.

Why do you post it if it's so boring?

Just echoing Bouchay comment; this is old-just-rebranded-tech. I got one of these for my mom (w black housing); 512meg for like $50 almost a year ago (yes, with the multi-color display).

looks like half the MP3 players on ebay right now! My friend had one in the same form factor that fell apart pretty quickly
