This RipFlash is a first-of-its-kind Flash-memory-based combination MP3 player, MP3 recorder, and voice recording device that actually turns analog audio into high-quality MP3 data--without the need for a desktop PC. This allows you to record directly from any audio device, such as a portable CD player, record player, tape player, or even radio, into the RipFlash's 128 MB internal storage. It also has a Smart Media Card slot for additional memory. In addition, you can upload and download MP3s traditionally, using a desktop PC and USB cable.
Quick voice messages are a snap using the recorder's internal microphone. A high-quality stereo microphone (not included) will suffice for recording anything from live music to training seminars. The recordings can be played back through the onboard internal speaker, through the included ear bud headphones, or through any home or car audio system using the appropriate cables.
The efficient WMA format gives you over 30 hours of voice-quality or up to four hours of near-CD-quality music. RipFlash can detect the "gap" between the tracks of a CD when recording, so each song on the CD is saved as an easily identifiable individual MP3 file. The unit is supplied with ear buds (with in-line remote control), a direct recording (line-in) interconnect, a USB cable, and CD software.

That is, on the outside. What I guess they forgot to tell you that wma files (Windows audio media format) created with Windows Media 7 is not supported by PoGo! I get the message: "The file is not supported in RipFlash-DX. Gosh, wouldn't that have been nice to know before shelling out over $ That presents a bit of a problem since most of my files are created in this format. Also, the engineers behind the music manager software that came with the device should go back to the drawing board. Never have I seen such an uninspired layout and poor use of screen real estate. It has barely any features. Finally, who wrote the manual...? I cannot believe the poor quality of the English in there. I hope to God that the person who wrote that manual doesn't rely on English as his first language. Honestly, if PoGo want to...Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  good wma player, By A Customer This review is from: RipFlash DX 128MB Digital Voice Recorder and MP3/WMA Player (Electronics) I listen to it everyday.I had few problem installing because there is a problem with ripflash usb cable but if you replace with any other usb cable it works fine. Do not forget to update the software available at pogo internet site otherwise you will not be able to download audio with long titles. Another problem is that it get scrached very easily The battery does not last for 10hours it is more likely it will last for about 5 hours just like any other mp3 playes. I got a recharger. In sum the sound is great ,the price is cheap, and it does what is supposed to do. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  This beauty needs 2 weeks in ... rehab., By This review is from: RipFlash DX 128MB Digital Voice Recorder and MP3/WMA Player (Electronics) RATING CHANGED FROM TWO STARS -- SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOMNovember 2002 Well I like the little [thing]. You can operate it blindfolded and half-asleep. Once you get familiar with it, it is fault free. (Until then there are plenty of ways to screw up.) Why two stars? Because here it is four months or so since release and they still haven't ironed out the file format issue. Those WMA files that it records, stereo or mono, are incompatible with my A/V editor, which shall remain innocent until proven guilty because it runs every other WMA source I can find. The problem is with the last three seconds of the file. There's apparently something not copacetic with it, and it slows to a stop. I'm about to test the suspect files against other editors to see who's to blame. It also bombs in the same company's format converter, so we'll see. 20030316 UPDATE: |
