I have to start over and select the artist name etc. Like its larger sibling, this player has a glossy black front and a slightly rubberized back. Both surfaces attract smudges and fingerprints. The back cover slides off to reveal a small flat cellphone-like rechargeable battery. Specs say that the battery should play up to 18hrs per charge.
Here you can see both players and how they compare in size to an Apple iPod nano 1st gen and iPod Shuffle 2nd gen. The display on this device is bright and crisp. Due to OLED it has an awesome viewing angle too. The menu system is easy to navigate. Basically you can browse the stored music by Artist, Album, Track or Genre.
Like the larger player, this one also has a built-in FM radio and the ability to display photos. Now you may be wondering just how you go about getting content songs, videos, photos and audio books into these players. Just plug in the USB cable and drag and drop into the provided folders.
Both players come with audible. I was able to install the audible software, but after several tries installing Rhapsody, I gave up. In a nutshell, Rhapsody is a service sort of like iTunes. But with Rhapsody, pay a monthly subscription fee. For the price, this player is comparable to the iPod shuffle. I really like having the display to see song titles and the built-in FM radio is a nice addition. You can actually hold the Menu button down for a couple of seconds and it will go back to the previous menu screen instead of to the top level menu screen.
You can copy music by dragging and dropping. But videos do require conversion. The sample files that came on the device are. AVI files that I already had without converting them first. A customer of mine came in my store with one of these looking to upgrade their earbuds. I was impressed by the smooth playback and very good image quality. The low capacity for the price is irksome however, which is why I personally ended up getting my wife and I matching Sandisk Sansa es for Christmas this year.
It was a little bit of a trade off in that the Sansa has a smaller screen and is less optimal for video, but how could I argue with an 8GB flash player for To be fair the Insignia players are priced about where they should be for their capacity, may be even a little lower than some other players. The Insignia website has NO drivers for Windows I have called the Insignia help toll free number on five different occasions.
No one has a clue about this. Yea right. I tried copying mp3 files to it using media player. It appears to copy. I get a progress on each file, the mp3 player says that files are being copied. I was able to copy a song successfully on to it using the bundled rhapsody software. I do not want to put that software back on my machine again. I gave one the small one to my sister for Christmas and so far she has not mentioned any issues with it.
The only thing I used the included applications for was to convert video. These are pretty inexpensive players with no video output features. Why am I making such a fuss over this. This is false and misleading advertising.
I wasted days trying to make it work. I have forwarded the link to this forum topic to the person that sent me the players asking him to feed this back to his contacts at Best Buy. The way to fix this is to go into the System menu on the device and do an Erase all, this will erase the flash memory and clear the database. I am getting a clean 98 SE build to verify this and will provide the necessary information to get the player working with 98 SE. I will update this thread with that information.
I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue and once the solution is verified we will make sure the tech support people are aware of the information. When viewing the Song info… you must press the up or down arrow button to see the CD artwork…. I need to know if there is a cd ready for my mp3 player. I have a insigna mp3 player. I have the same problem. Seams that there was a poast on this list from someone from the insignia teck team. I explained in several phone calls that there was someone from there teck support team working on the correct drivers for there mp3 players for windows I am sick and tired of beeing lied to, and I do wish that someone from insignia or best buy would come forth and for once tell the truth it is in my own opinion that it is really sad what some fokes will do for money.
I realize this is taking longer than you would like, but I do want to re-assure you that there will be a solution forth coming on the 98SE driver issue. I will post a further update this week.
Sorry for the delay in answering this question. Please use the driver below and your device should work correctly in 98SE. I wonder if I could have saved my self allot of trouble by disabling my anti virus program. The audio still works great but after going running my dog jumped up on me and I dropped my Insignia and the inside screen is now cracked.
Is there any way to replace the screen on the inside or do I just have to buy another Insignia? My guess is that you would need to buy another mp3 player. Are these accessories available? Is the firmware no longer available? MrTarget wrote: Hi.
I called best buy asking about extra batteries and a adapter and they seam not to have them. If you have a network drive configured for your system you will need to move that drive ID to a different letter. I have found that XP has some trouble adding USB devices by drive letters if you have network drives. Leave a blank drive identifier C, D, E, etc and then add your network drive in another slot.
Z usually works well. I know of people with other brands of MP3 players that can get these types of videos to convert. Another thought, has anyone built or rigged up an AC charger? Tele-Man wrote: Help! I am not sure what kind of return policies best buy has. Restart and reset did the same — nothing. In Windows Explorer player is not visible.
I will appreciate any advise! I was so disappointed, I finally put it away and got another mp3 player. Hope that helps. There drivers for windows98se.
I have them stored on another drive. How does one determine the software version on their player? What mass storage software can I use other than the stuff that come with it.
I have 2 nearly Identically set up computers. Both XP Por, both with partitioned hard drives. One of them sees the Insignia and everything works perfectly.
