Welcome to another episode of HBR. I'm your host Enigma and today I will be
|
||||
talking about a new little toy I got. It's a Zoom 30-Yig MP3 player, video MP3
|
||||
player. I wanted to talk about the pros and cons of this versus the iPod and
|
||||
before everybody yells at me for being a sellout and getting a Microsoft
|
||||
product. The only reason that I purchased this was I got a good deal because I
|
||||
recently bought a new laptop and I got a deal at Circus City with the
|
||||
Zoom and the laptop. I think I got those soon for 80 bucks and it was like
|
||||
price point was like 140. So I'll get started with the pros. The thing that
|
||||
attracted me the most for this MP3 player was the large screen. It's got a
|
||||
three-inch screen that's got a beautiful display and that's what first caught
|
||||
my eye and the reason that I even asked about it. It also has a very easy
|
||||
interface. The sync software is in my opinion a lot less annoying than the
|
||||
iPods sync. I've had issues with the iPods sync on a Windows box all the
|
||||
time in the past and the Zoom software I haven't had issues since it's a
|
||||
Microsoft product I would hope I wouldn't. The price point for the 30-Yig
|
||||
video iPod I believe is a little bit steeper than I think. I want to say it's
|
||||
around 150 bucks. I got mine for 80 again. The normal price point is 140 so
|
||||
they're about the same. The battery life I was actually impressed with I got
|
||||
I've never actually clocked it on the video side but I get about 10 to 15
|
||||
hours on the audio side and I've never really clocked it from you know
|
||||
straight continuous play. It's been interrupted so I'm sure that it's not a
|
||||
very good guide for that. Another nice feature is it has a wireless sync which
|
||||
I was kind of impressed with. I still need to play around with it a little bit
|
||||
but you can if you're within your home network you can specify your SSID and
|
||||
your web or WPA key in the sync software and it'll automatically sync to your
|
||||
computer that you have the whatever you specify is in its library so if you have
|
||||
like a file server you can wirelessly sync to that file server. It's also got
|
||||
a build-in FM radio and I found this kind of neat. I don't even know if the
|
||||
iPod has this but you know if you want to listen to the radio you can. Another
|
||||
feature that I haven't tested yet but I want to play around with is it's
|
||||
compatible with the Windows Vista home premium and ultimate support for the
|
||||
DVR codec which is their codec for their media center and you can record
|
||||
movies or TV shows from your Windows media center with a TV tuner and
|
||||
actually play it back on your zoom which I don't know how that actually
|
||||
works so I want to play around with it and see see what I can get out of it. The
|
||||
cons the software only works in Windows it doesn't have any wine support at
|
||||
the moment in Linux and there's plenty of hacks out there for the iPod I
|
||||
haven't found a lot for the zoom probably because it's you know Microsoft
|
||||
product and it's proprietary and but if anybody knows of any cool hacks with
|
||||
the zoom please let me know you can email me at the site or the feedback
|
||||
link whatever because I'd really like to play around with this and the other
|
||||
con is not enough codec support I'll go through the codex right now it
|
||||
obviously supports WMA for video it supports mp3 for audio mp3 playlist
|
||||
I'm sorry WMA with Windows Media Audio and WMV for the Windows Media video as I
|
||||
said it supports the Windows Media Center DVR which is the dot DVR MS it
|
||||
supports zoom playlist obviously it supports mp4 video it supports mp4 it
|
||||
supports AC audio created with the ACLC audio codec m4a and m4b I've never
|
||||
seen that codex so I don't know much about it but the zoom supports it and
|
||||
that's about it so a lot of the codex like your DIVIX codex and that aren't
|
||||
supported natively which means you would have to convert them to one of these
|
||||
codex and then let the software or the zoom software sink it up it won't see
|
||||
anything in your library in the zoom software that isn't in that isn't in
|
||||
these codex so you would have to convert it and then stick it in the folder that's
|
||||
your zoom library to get it to recognize to even sink to your zoom which I
|
||||
think's a little bit of a downfall I think it should have a little bit more
|
||||
support but again it's a Microsoft product so what can you expect all in all
|
||||
I've been very happy with my zoom I don't do a lot of things with basically the
|
||||
only thing I got for this mp3 player for was for audio listen to work and to
|
||||
store you know hack TV and hack five and a couple of the podcasts pure
|
||||
pronage a couple of podcasts that I or the video casts that I watch a lot so I
|
||||
can watch them in the airport or watch them on the plane whatever I wanted to
|
||||
it's got a very pretty screen so you can watch it for hours which I did like
|
||||
most of the video iPods that I've seen or video mp3 players whatever you want to
|
||||
call them have such a small screen that I but I really don't like but this one
|
||||
has a nice big screen and I do enjoy it so that's all for today if anybody's
|
||||

|
||||
always in need of backup episodes and if you want to be a monthly host I'm sure
|
||||
