Perception Digital PD1000 Portable Jukebox
Most MP3 players allow you to transfer music to and from your computer, but very
few have an audio input for recording external audio sources. If this is an
important feature for you, the Perception Digital PD1000 Portable Jukebox is
worth taking a look at. It has a fast USB 2.0 interface for transferring music
from your computer, and also has a built-in microphone for recording voice, and
an audio input jack for recording external audio sources such as TV or stereos.
The Perception Digital PD1000 Portable Jukebox is a hard drive based MP3 player
with an adequate 1.5GB hard drive. This is enough space to hold 375 songs in 128
kbps MP3 format. Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, and ADPCM, and there
is full support for ID3 tags so you can store information about the music such
as the artist, the album, the year, and the genre.
The LCD display on the Perception Digital PD1000 Portable Jukebox is a roomy 128
x 128 pixels in size. It's enough to show you an easy-to-use menu and
information about play mode parameters and search information.
The Perception Digital PD1000 Portable Jukebox is a compact unit which weighs
just 100 grams. The dimensions are 45 x 18 x 19.5mm -- small enough to fit
comfortably in your palm and to carry easily in your pocket or purse. It is
powered with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery which holds its charge for more
than 13 hours of continuous music playback. Battery recharging can be done
through the USB port or the AC adapter.
The sound specs on the Perception Digital PD1000 Portable Jukebox are
impressive. The signal-to-noise ratio is less than 90 decibels and the frequency

this MP3 player.
One of the problems of hard drive based MP3 players is their vulnerable
