Introduction

Well, the MP3 music revolution is in full swing. In this brave new day and age not only can you purchase MP3 players, recorders and the files themselves, you can be sued for sharing them with your friends. What other industry simultaneously offers you hardware with one hand and steals away the right to use it with the other? Despite all the uproar, digital music media is here for the long haul. And now that you've acquired your digital music files, legally or otherwise, whatever could you play them on?

Today we will be looking at JetAudio's iAUDIO 4 MP3 player/recorder/FM tuner/voice recorder... that's a lot of slashes. But this little gizmo is well worth its weight in slash marks. Boasting small size and a long battery life, JetAudio has filled this miniature soundsystem full of features and function.

I think Brad is officially my favorite reviewer here or anywhere. Always makes me laugh at some of the weird things he says and does.

awww, gee, thanks guys! :wink:

glad you like me insane ramblings. of course, i have been told by a certain review editor that i sometimes use jokes too often in my reviews. but then again, sometimes i write one and it's the most surreal insane bit of brain ooze and i have to tidy it up a bit so that it will make sense to normal people. so umm, yeah.

i just hope the RIAA doesn't sue me for saying in so many words that they are a bunch of bastards...although i didn't mention them specifically until just now. they're still bastards tho.

by the way... we just got the jetaudio M3 today to review. It is a HDD-based 20GB MP3 player. We'll have a review up on it in a few weeks :)

Thank you for a review which is actually useful and seems to be impartial! I waded through many woeful reviews written by semi-literate individuals before finding this one. Now I'm more confident that this is the mp3 player I would like to own!

I want to buy a MP3 player and was wondering what you would recommend? The Iaudio CW 300 512mb, the Iaudio 4 1 Gb of a Iaudio M3? I am not able te make up my mind between these players. So maybe you can help me a bit?

10 - Posted by Guest on September 16, 2004 - 8:29 am

Thanks for the advice. For me personally 512 Mb of 1 Gb is more then enough. Still thinking about buying an Iaudio CW 300 512mb, the Iaudio 4 512Mb or 1Gb. Maybe you can help me with some advice on this too?

Thanks very much. I decided too buy the iAudio 4. The main reasons were the good user reviews of the soundquality and the use of AAA batteries, which makes the device very usefull on vacation.

Does the carrying case have a belt clip? In other words, can you wear the unit on your waist rather than on your arm? This is a critical issue to many runners. Thanks (My CW 300 had a very nice black leather case with a belt clip. This was a different case than the one supplied for use with the armband).

Thankyou for your the detailed data.I'll keep an eye on your review! :)

Great review. I just purchased a MY3ia 512MB mp3 player, then read the reviews for the iAudio 4. I promptly returned the former player and ordered the iAudio online because it's features and quality blew mine away. I cant wait for it to arrive.

Hi, thanks for the review, very helpful. One question I can't seem to find the answer to...I'm looking for something that can record at least 2 hours of voice recording at high quality. Would this do it? Or would you recommend another product.

thanks again.
