Dell DJ (15 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Great sound; fair price; stylish design; customizable EQ; battery charges quickly.
Cons: Music Match software slow and crashes often; headphones inferior quality; thumbwheel can be annoying.

With all the MP3 players flooding the consumer electronics market these days it’s difficult for the average person to know what else is available besides Apple’s iPod. Dell’s Digital Jukebox is definitely a viable candidate for title of ...

Pros: Longer battery life, cheaper than an Ipod, and just an all around great product.
Cons: Must ship the device to Dell when replacing the battery.

The battle for the best MP3 players are amongst us and to be quite honest I see Dell the most overlooked option by those wanting an Ipod. Dell and several others have released their own version of the high capacity MP3 player in the passed year or so. ...

Pros: Small, great sound, 16 hr battery life
Cons: Not as small as the IPOD but stop crying, it's not an anvil!

I had been thinking about a portable MP3 player for some time, but I wasn’t about to shell out 300 bucks plus for an Ipod, no matter how pretty they are. I went to school for audio production so fidelity is important to me. Personally I don’t ...

Pros: Unbeatable price. User-friendly interface and buttons. Great sound. Awesome display. Fast transfer rate.
Cons: No bass boost. Limited equalization. No carrying case.

First, I need to get three issues out of the way. #1: In mid-May, Dell released a firmware update (01.20.03 A02) that fixed a lot of the problems listed here. So, when you read my review, keep in mind that I updated my DJ before I ever used it. The ...

Pros: Battery Life, Pretty Blue Lights, Custom Four Band EQ, Price
Cons: Sound is subpar to the Ipod, MusicMatch is Horrible!

I have owned and used a Dell Jukebox for almost a year now and I love it. It breaks my heart to report to you that it truly is mediocre when compared to the ipod. I use my Dell Jukebox everyday, and enjoy it very much. My sister recently bought a third ...

Pros: Incredible value, Dell's high reputation, Great ergonomics, Compatibility with different music services
Cons: Battery life, MusicMatch shortfalls, Accessories only from Dell

In the modern world of file-sharing and digital music, MP3 players have been an alternative to carrying around books of recorded CDs and having to switch discs just to find a favorite song. With file-sharing programs such as Kazaa remaining popular, ...

Pros: Stores thousands of mp3s, great sound, fairly small, great value
Cons: Not good for jogging, no good cases made for it

The Dell Digital Jukebox 15 GB, or Dell DJ for short, is a spectacular deal for anyone who really wants a top-notch, high-capacity mp3 player and is either unwilling to pay a premium for an iPod or just not a fan of Apple products. Both of those ...

Pros: Excellent Battery Life, Solid, Good Sound Quality, Nice Backlight, Cool IMO
Cons: Earbuds are lacking..., Shuffle/Random play problems, Musicmatch not the best software

If you're like me, every time you get a new toy, the ritual is as follows: 1: Plug in and let charge 2: Wait.... 3: Wait.... Well, I ordered the 15GB Dell DJ and a Belkin Tunecast II FM Transmitter from Dell and received the DJ 2 days later(thats ...

Pros: Feels solid, minimal firmware glitches, better overall than most of the rest
Cons: Scroll/select button a little awkward, can't swap batteries, very little aftermarket support

Hits: Feels solid and well built. Moreso that the Ipods. You can make temporary and saved playlists without needing to hook up to a computer. Organizes your music by artist, album, and genre... if you labeled them all properly. Loads files pretty ...

Pros: Excellent audio quality. Very solid hardware. Easy, intuitive interface.
Cons: Does not come with carrying case. Earbuds included are not very good. Firmware needs improvement.

I work for a recording company and do know a little about audio. My opinion is that the sound is fantastic. Furthermore, the unit itself is made very well - solid. I shook the device very hard during playback and experienced no skips. All in all the ...

Pros: great operation, in line remote, battery life, good sound quality, voice recorder
Cons: Your songs wont play in order, no firewire

I have to say congratulations to Dell with their first attempt at an MP3. They have managed to do something Apple has been unsuccessful at so far, make a great hard drive player for less than $200. This product will definitely give Apple a run for ...

Pros: GREAT battery life, some good features Apple is missing, works with multiple computers
Cons: Barrel selector. Not as cool as iPod.

Like all the other guys out there Dell is chasing Apple. I bought this player instead of the iPod because at the time I bought it I paid $130 from Dell vs $240 for a 15gig gen 3 iPod. The numbers just made sense at the time. I’m very familiar with ...

Pros: Long battery life, backlit display, lighted buttons
Cons: Cannot play all songs without creating separate playlist

Dell has done a fine job with this entry into the consumer electronics market. Roughly the size of a pack of cigarettes, the Dell DJ feels very solid. The backlit display and backlit buttons provide an attractive and easy-to-use interface. The menus ...

Pros: price!
Cons: ios, usb interface not powered by battery.

preface: i bought the dell jukebox after having a *minor* problem with my apple ipod which apple would not look at unless i forked over $250. [yes, folks, for another $50 i could get a new ipod.] dell was offering the dj and a $100 rebate for ...

Pros: Lots of space for little $, VERY sharp looking, good sound quality
Cons: Earbuds uncomfortable, accessories are expensive.

I just got my 15GB DJ yesterday and I'm in love with it! I ordered it two days ago and UPS delivered it in no time! It is much sharper looking than the picture on the Dell webpage. It is comprised of a matte silver shell, which looks great and ...
