Pros: Rugged, excellent sound quality and a compact size Cons: Lack of AM radio tuner
The Intel Pocket Concert has been discontinued and out of production for some time now, but mine is still standing up well after nearly daily use for over two and a half years. RAM-based rather than hard drive based means this unit is perfect for ...
Pros: USB transfer, adjustable equalizer, great sound quality Cons: FM reception very poor, accessories expensive, can't expand
128M really means about 2 hours of quality sound, not the advertised 4 hours, but then all MP3 players advertise play limits beyond what is "acceptable" for normal audio. USB transfer is very fast, sound quality and loudness is excellent, and controls...
Pros: Excellent sound quality -- great software and firmware - lots of memory Cons: Fatal flaw -- earphone jack flimsy -- sealed case makes repair impossible
Every design element is well thought out but one -- after several months of average use I found the earphone jack connection was loosening; ultimately the player became unuseable when the jack detached completely. This happened on a second player as...
Pros: Small, light, fits inconspicuously in your pocket.
User-friendly software for transferring from PC.
Cons: Cannot upgrade memory.
FM radio is unlikely to be used.
Memory issues aside, this is an excellent product. I opened the box, downloaded the software and began using my Intel Pocketconcert! I couldn't believe how easy it was.
Using the device itself couldn't be easier. There is a wheel/button on the side...
Pros: It is small, full of memory, and easy to use. Cons: None!!
This MP3 player is excellent for any type of person. Whether you have only a couple of favorite songs, or a lot, you will find that this small package really does pack one hell of a punch. To start the Intel Pocket concert comes jam packed with 128...
I have over 1000 mp3s on my computer and I was always wishing I could take them with me, so I did some research and to buy an mp3 player.
First, I bought a RCA Kazoo, which is incredibly tiny but has a 64MB memory, I went to buy a bigger memory card...
Pros: Easy to use menu and has a good amount of memory. Cons: Volume and power button can be tricky.
The Intel Pocket Concert is a great mp3 player. It has what all great mp3 players should have, small size, good amount of memory, and great sound. Most of the buttons are easy to use so you can control it without having to really look for what...
Pros: Portability and simplicity, not to mention great sound. Cons: Battery life, cheap headphones, lousy FM receiver.
This is my first MP3 player, and after reading the reviews on other web sites and using it for the first three months, I feel I have made a great choice. I rip/code at 128k or 160k so you'll get about 24 to 31 songs on the player. If you get better...
Pros: loud, great quality, nice slim design Cons: song storage size not expandable, updated fm tuner still not great
i purchased this mp3 player when it first was released. I think it is a great all-around mp3 player, however for almost $300 it is not worth your money. It can only store about 30 songs on it, however i have almost 1500 on my computer.
Newer mp3...
Pros: * Huge amount of memory
* Large Amplifier
* Included FM presets.
Cons: * A lot of problems!
I had a "cheaper model" MP3 player earlier, but it wasn't worth the $100. When I got this MP3 player for Xmas, I was thrilled. I've been "burning" CDs ever since we bought our computer 2 years ago. Now, I don't know how I survived without this MP3...
Pros: Plenty of memory, nice design, light weight Cons: It cost's a pretty penny and drains batteries
This player is very durable and has tons of memory. The backlight color is really cool and bright. The features are really easy to use and so far they don't seem like they would break easily. When turning on you can pick what you want to listen to and...
Pros: Lots of pros such as great design, plenty of memory, great features, etc.. Cons: Cheap looking headphones, transfer rate is a little slow, low battery life.
If you are looking for an mp3 player that is small, light and compact with just enough space, look no further. If you are looking for players that hold many more songs you will have to move to the large, bulky, expensive players.
Pros: Tiny! And so easy to set up and use. Good headphones. Lots of storage space. Cons: Not expandable beyond the 128 mb, but really .. that's plenty.
Last August, my husband bought me an MP3 player for a birthday gift, so that I could take my music on my daily run/walk. The idea was that an MP3 player would be small and skip-free. He had researched them thru Consumer Reports and on their...
Pros: Lightweight, great sound quality, easy to download songs Cons: some uneveness in song volume, particularly if you use MusicMatch to download
NOTE: Intel has discontinued the Pocket Concert as of last year, so you may be lucky enough to scoop one up cheap on eBay. Also, if you're like me, had your hard drive crash and can't lay hands on the CD-ROM with the PC software, you can go to...
Pros: Great price for bundled mp3 player and accessory kit. Cons: none
If your reading this based on the title, you most likely know what you are looking for and read the other reviews of this product. I wanted to post about the great deal I got on the Intel Pocket Concert mp3 player and the bundled accessories so that...
Pros: Easy to operate, enough memory, small light design, good sound Cons: Absurd headphones, noisy FM reception
The Pocket Concert is very easy to operate, although some functions, such as saving preset FM channels, only become obvious after reading the instructions.
The FM tuner allows you to store 10 preset stations in the player's memory. I am yet...
Pros: Nice display, easy to install/use, uses MusicMatch (the best!) Cons: Trend of malfunctioning headphone jacks, nil FM reception, feels cheap, "accessory" pack sold separate
When I was looking for an MP3 player, I read all kinds of great reviews on the Intel and Amazon had a decent deal going on combining the player with the accessory pack.
Once I actually got the player, I opened it up and set it up without a...
Pros: LOUD GOOD SOUND!!! Easy to use. Looks fairly good. Cons: Important: memory unexpandable
I have had my Pocket Concert (PC) for about a half a year now. I can't go anywhere in school without people asking me if they can see it and listen to it. Heck, I could make millions of dollars charging people to use it on the bus home (i use it goin...
Pros: 128MB of memory, Software is easy to use, LCD is easy to read. Cons: SLOW! Fast Forwarding through songs. MusicMatch additional software is a pain.
I recently bought this unit and the accessory pack for my wife. She works out for 1-2 hours a day and needed some pounding beats to keep her going. This is our first MP3 player and I must say this thing is cool.
Pros: 128megs, LCD indiglo, looks goods Cons: Not to good FM reception
I've owned the Intel Pocket Concert for almost 3months. Its a really good mp3 player. It can fit up to 4hours of music, maybe even more. It depends on how big the mp3 file is and the qality. The sound is terrific, you can set your own bass or tremble....
Pros: portability; ease of use; great sound; size and easy controls; usb Cons: goofy looking headphones; cannot expand memory
Intel has come out with a superior and fun answer to the current slew of mp3 players. I am very active and my first concern was how well this would hold up while I work out, walk and travel. The player is very small, you can hold it in the palm of your...
Like I said, this player is small, sleek, light and very "cool" looking. I like taking jogs with this, you know, when I can't use my stereo or computer for music.I'm surprised that has 128 meg when it's so small. This MP3 player meets the needs of an...
Pros: Great sound; 128MB capacity; compact size; easy operation; readable display panel. Cons: Intel Audio Manager has minimal functionality; Cheap, bulky headphones; poor radio reception.
I bought the Intel Pocket Concert several months ago, and for the most part I have been quite pleased with its performance. Some of the factors that influenced my decision to purchase this model included:
Pros: Size, Volume, Functionality, Durability, Versatility, 128Meg Cons: Slow music transfer, What FM radio?, software bundle, Expensive
Intel's Pocket Concert is one of the best portable devices that I have ever owned. Nothing beats the convenience of having this as portable audio solution.
1. Sound Quality- Very good if you rip at 160 bit rate or better. It really depends...
Pros: Good volume, comes with a belt clip Cons: Very poor radio reception, childish headphones, memory isn't expandable.
I'm confounded by the ecstatic reviews given the Intel Pocket Concert Audio Player (IPC)in the computer press and here on Epinions. And while I have the greatest respect for the other reviewers here, I must respectfully disagree.
Pros: Great for campus dwellers Cons: More expensive than a simple radio or walkman.
Having developed my own hardware mpeg decoder for my senior project in computer engineering in 1998 I love this device for all of its features. It has everything the die hard mp3 lover wants including price. You have to have a good computer in order to...
Pros: Good sound, FM Tuner is a plus, small form-factor Cons: poor reception of the fm tuner, easy to drop
Put together a small form-factor, a FM tuner, a good sound amplification, and easy button layout, and what do you get? You get the Intel Pocket Concert - an overall great mp3 player with unmatched memory (in the non-moving category) and above-average...
Pros: Stylish, great sound, easy to use Cons: bit expensive
This MP3 player is a winner hands down. It leads the way with style, and Intel performance with intricate software to deliver thick, crystal-clear, totally skip-proof sound for listening at your PC, on your home stereo, in your car, and on the go. The...
Pros: twice the memory as comparable models Cons: headphones are flawed
I am impressed with this unit's 128 MB of memory. It has a very cool design as well.
This is supposed to be one of the best on the market because it has 128 MB of memory. Not only that but it is sold at the same price as those with only...
Pros: great form factor; excellent sound quality; relatively inexpensive Cons: non-upgradable memory; cannot delete/reorder tracks on-the-fly
After years of yearning for a portable mp3 player, I finally purchased the Intel Pocket Concert about two months ago ($50 off and a free accessory kit helped the decision). Overall this little silver gadget has been one of my better purchases, and I...
Pros: Compact yet easy to use. Cons: Belt Clip could be improved.
There are so many reasons to buy the Intel Pocket Concert MP3 player, I hope I can remember them all! The product comes with 128MB of built-in memory (not upgradeable), an FM tuner, a belt clip, and some very comfy ear phones. With 128MB of memory I...
Pros: Compact, skip-free, best sound quality out there, easy of use Cons: Software, Price, Purchase accessory package separately. memory not upgradeable.
I like to run, jog, work out and I needed a device that would not skip while doing these activities. I started researching MP3 players and bought the Archos Jukebox due to it's memory size and price (6GB $249) assuming all MP3 players had a much higher...
Pros: Small, easy to use, good sound quality Cons: Terrible radio sensitivity, no audible.com support
As an MP3 player only I am happy with the Intel unit. It is easy to use, the software is good, sound quality is fair to good. The batteries last a good while.
Downside, the FM tuner is unusable in my area because the sensitivity is so bad. I...
Pros: Great sounding MP3 playback. Very durable. 128 MB! Cons: Poor design of headphones and belt clip. Poor FM reception. Expensive.
First of all, this MP3 player sounds great - much better than the RIO. And, it has a lot more memory so you don't get tired of your songs as fast. However, I recommend being careful if you wish to run with it. The belt clip is not very secure (fits...
Pros: Superior audio quality, portability and durability Cons: Inferior FM tuner, accessory pack virtually impossible to find in Canada
The Intel Pocket Concert (IPC) was my third MP3 player in a week. I had become so frustrated by the SonicBlue Rio 600 and the RCA K@zoo that I decided to avoid the low end of the market and go for the best. I'm glad I did.
Pros: Memory capacity, size and shape, sound quality, headphones, controls and ease of operation Cons: No case. Garish logos and color of headphones.
Before we begin, I want you to know that I'm speaking from experience and that I've lived with a variety of MP3 players over the last few years (in chronological order):
1. Casio WMP-1 Wrist Audio Player. I loved it but I needed more memory...
Pros: Reasonable price if you can catch it on sale, high capacity Cons: Mediocre FM reception, one of the two I tried out had a noticeable hiss
I almost bought a Creative Nomad 64mb in November, but that deal fell through, so I put off buying another MP3 player. Then I looked at the Fry's ad for the last week of June and they had the Intel Pocket Concert on sale for $239 (that's $60 off MSRP),...
Pros: ALOT of Memory(128 MB), Size, USB offers fast song transfer, Nice screen display. Cons: BAD FM Reception, Short Battery Life, Works with MUSICMATCH instead of Windows Media PLAYER(WMP)
I recently purchased the INTel Pocket CONCERT MP3 Player. I did alot of research online because I didn't know much about mp3 player's, but I wanted one because I just got a computer and knew I could download music from it and from online. AND, I had a...
Pros: radio is a great added feature
so much memory
durable
Cons: none so far
Let me begin by saying that I used to own the NikeMP3 player. One day, about 5 days after I purchased the NIKE player, it stopped working. So I brought it back to CompUSA and they let me pick any MP3 player. So I picked the Intel one because I liked...
Pros: Compact, light, large storage capacity, excellent sound quality Cons: Poor FM tuner reception
If you’ve read any of my other reviews, you know that I love to eat. In the course of the past year, this pastime has landed me in a state of, shall we say, augmented density.
It was time to dust off the ol’ treadmill and go for...
Pros: Small, sturdy, lightweight, FM tuner, loud volume, good headphones, 128 MB Cons: No rechargeable batteries, changing FM presets requires 3 turns/clicks for each change
There are a LOT of MP3 players on the market right now, and it is hard to decide which one to buy. I have read multiple reviews/ratings/critiques prior to buying the Intel Pocket Concert Digital Audio Player, and I have to say that I am very satisfied....
Pros: Good memory storage, great & intuitive controls, lightweight, great sound quality Cons: No expansion slot
If you're like me, then you've been waiting to buy an MP3 player until the industry offers a player with all the features you want. For me, this was the following: small and lightweight, easy controls conducive to working out
in the gym, a minimum...
Pros: 128MB of memory for $300! Sound Quality, FM Tuner, Good headphones! Cons: Extra for accessory kit, little larger than other MP3 players, cheaper more expandable options available.
In the field of flash memory MP3 players, a new competitor enters the market. But... Intel? What business does Intel have coming into this field? Well folks, the answer will surprise you... it certainly surprised me.
Pros: Lots of memory, easy and intuitive to use, excellent software, rapid USB transfer Cons: Dorky Intel logo
I have waited for over a year for the right MP3 player to come along. And of all places it comes from Intel! Anyhow, I have used my friends MP3 players for a while. My main beef with them has been either not enough memory ( or ridiculously expensive...
128 MB of built-in memory--over 4 hours of music Digital FM radio with 10 presets Supports MP3 and WMA; upgradeable to support future digital standard...More at Amazon Marketplace
