Customer Reviews:

Nice Unit but the FM Tuner is lousy.......2005-10-23

I was looking for an inexpensive MP3 player that acepted flash memory expansion cards to do the following:

Listen to audiobooks.
Listen to music.
Listen to and record FM.

The M25 does all of these things. However, the FM is lousy. I have compared it with several MP3 players and walkmans. I exchanged my original unit with Motorola and got the same FM performance with the replacement unit. This is the main reason that I only gave it 3 stars. It's so weak that I am unable to get a clear station from my house even though all the other radios in the house work fine.

On the positive side, it's an excellent player for audiobooks. The resume feature picks up right where I left off even if I don't use the unit for a week. And it had bookmarks so you can mark a book and go listen to music then come back to your place. Well almost...when you bookmark a large audiobook file it seems to skip back a few minutes. Not a big deal and much easier than fast forwarding through a 10 hour book.

Music is also very good. Excellent sound quality.

The controls on this unit are very nice. I found several units in this price range and one of the big differences was how easy the controls are to use. A nice feature when you're listening to an audiobook and driving a car.

All in all I like the M25 but too bad about the very weak FM.

Lightweight... good value MP3/WMA player.......2005-10-15

Got a brand-new M25 (1-year warranty) as my first MP3/WMA player as replacement for a clunky CD player. This M25 is much lighter than the Walkman CD-player it replaced. Also eliminated : the periodic skip that hits the CD player while one is jogging. The music coming out of the supplied earbuds is also pleasant.

My unit came with a driver and software CD, a triple-A battery and USB2.0 cable. My Windows-XP computer immediately recognized the M25 as another drive -- doing drag-and-drop of files or folders was a cinch. [By the way, I was using the Walkman CD player to listen to Spanish language lessons. For this M25, I ripped the audio into WMA, and now I listen to the WMA-version of the Spanish lessons. The 256MB standard-memory on the M25 is enough space for 3 CD's worth of lessons (in WMA-format) ]

I believe that the full-detailed user manual is on the CD that came with the M25. There is also a paper-version Quick Start Guide which was sufficient to get the player up and running, and to learn basic controls. [However, the QuickStart does not contain instructions on how to properly set time and date but I was able to do this by fiddling around with the buttons. I have also preset a couple of the FM-preset stations.]

The M25-architecture is the appropriate design for my needs (especially for language lessons). The unit remembers the settings as it is turned off. So, at re-start, the M25 resumes play at the exact point of the audio-lesson as when I turned it off. Controls are easy to use and intuitive. I have sufficient command over this the M25 (e.g.,volume control, ski forward/back, volume) without having to look at the controls. Other controls (e.g. choosing from the 5 provided EQ-settings) will require more attention. The M25 also has LCD backlighting -- useful for reviewing the ID3 labels during late evening walks that I do.

Sound quality is excellent (whether it comes from the WMA-format Spanish lessons, from the dozen or more songs(MP3 format) which came with the unit, or from FM.] There is a provided armband. The headphones/earbuds have good sound quality. However, I have a fit-problem with the right earbud so I will probably try to locate a better-fitting pair of Sony headphones.

I am pleased with this unit. And since this M25 allows expansion via SD/MMC card, very likely, I will add a 512mb card next week. All in all, this Motorola m25 player is good value for my money.

It works.......2005-09-22

I'm not sure what all could go wrong with an SD card, but it seems to be working just fine.

mp3 player.......2005-09-14

The motorola m25 mp3 player is a good player. the expandable option is great. very easy to use and a good size.

You get what you pay for.......2005-09-11

For what I paid for this MP3 player, it does exactly what I need it to. Small, cute, and easy to use. Radio tuner is not so hot, but playing tunes works great.
