| osa_ua's Full Review: Panasonic E-Wear SD SV-SD85 (128 MB) MP3 Player |
I reviewed this unit in the store. It's pretty small and looks very nice. Everything looks good until I tried to insert my SD card with music and try to listen it. Player won't play mp3 files from my SD card. I installed SD Jukebox and save music to card with it. Now player found music and play it well.
When I checked files on SD card I found that SD Jukebox converted mp3 files to some proprietary format. So you can't just copy mp3 files from your PC to card and play it on player. You need to use SD Jukebox ALWAYS!
Note, that SD Jukebox works only under Windows, so if you are Linux or Mac user, this player is not for you.
Also, you can't use USB to connect player to your PC directly. You need to remove card and insert into SD-USB adapter (it's included but very big compared to third-party SD adapter).
