Looks cool - hard to set up .......2005-01-26

The nice things about the TDK Mojo are the FM player, the small size, the good looks, SD card slot, and reasonable price. However, these are more than offset by the problems the Mojo has with Software setup and ease of use. In order to use the device you have to install 4 things: (1) An MP3/Music program like Real-One, Window Media, etc. (2) The included Software, (3) The included Plug-ins for Real-One/Windows Media Player/or iTunes, and (4) the USB driver. The installation manual tells you how to install the first 3, but not the 4th, which took me a while to figure out. It's not hard if you're used to installing new devices on your PC, but this should have been described in the manual. The Installation shell has a number of bugs I wouldn't expect from even a high school programmer. For example, sometimes clicking on step "3" will cause Step "2" to run instead, depending on what you moused over last. Sometimes mousing over a Step (it's a 4-step installation process) doesn't enable the step. Once everything is installed, it still requires 2 programs for day-to-day use - one program to take your CD's and convert to MP3 (or, to buy MP3's over the web), and the included TDK program for uploading your music to Mojo. This program, too, has many bugs. It hangs from time to time. A friend of mine bought the 256MB version, and had even worse problems with intallation. It took me 90 minutes to get everything installed and working properly and get my first CD loaded into MOJO and playing. Compare this with about 15 minutes for my daughters IPOD-mini, which she got for Christmas. Plus, the iTunes software does everything - it's a music store, uploader, compressor ... the works. Very easy to use, and bug-free. Quite a contrast, now that I've been through both.

As far as the Mojo itself, the availability of the SD card slot is great. You can buy a 1GB card on-line or at Sam's (haven't done this yet) for $75 and store tons of music. The unit is small and lightweight. But, the display is very small and hard to see, and the labels for the side buttons are on the BACK of the unit. Now who would do that? You're normally looking at the front of the unit, where the display is. If you want to see which button is volume, or mode, or skip forward/backward, you have to memorize it, or, turn the unit over to see the labels, then flip the unit back to see the display.

Good user design is not a class normally taken by engineering students nor computer scientists, and unfortunately, it shows in so many consumer products, including the TDK Mojo. After just buying my first Apple product (an Ipod mini for my daughter), and now the TDK Mojo, it's like night and day. One (Ipod Mini) is extremely easy to set up and a joy to use. The other is tedious to set up, with much fiddling and working around bugs, and is fussy to use. My guess is that once you've used the Mojo for a few days, and if you continue to use it, you'll memorize where the buttons are and it will feel less fussy.

Firmware Upgrade???.......2004-10-25

It worked great, until one day it didn't, and I can't read the error message, and I get no help from tech support. I tried to download the firmware upgrade, but it was nowhere to be found.
All in all, it is a good MP3 player for the prize (as long as it works), and it doubles as a portable storage device.
Also, I am not a big fan of the cable connection. It means cerrying the cable around if you want to use it as a flash drive, and make sure you don't lose it.

DOES NOT PLAY DRM FILES!!!.......2004-09-04

will not play the new DRM WMA files that you download from places like walmart.com or other online music stores........if your not sure, read the sites FAQ'S/HELP to see if it can only play on DRM equipped players....

The Mojo X mp3 player is great. It has plenty of power and battery life. It's 120mb memory is actualy 116mb (what the heck it's like that for everything else you lose memory to compression and system files). It will hold about 2-4 hours it you keep your songs not to a very high bit rate and many times mor if you use a low bitrate. It is very very light and pretty small. It is also great for file storage. It loads music very fast and simple from pc. You can use folders to seperate your playlists. The one problem with it mainly is it puts music on it in a copy protectedfromat so you can take music off it and play it on your pc. The only way around this is to put your music in non mp3,wma,or wav format or put it in a compressed zip folder, but it can play on it if you do any of these. The battery lasts a good amount. It includes on board menus, several paly modes, 4 preset and custom treble/bass balance. Overal very good buy I got mine about a year ago for $110; I still use it and it works great, except hte hold switch is a little loose but no big problem.

If you're looking for a cheap alternative then Mojo is the right choice. I was looking for a MP3 player that was light and small and I didn't want to spend too much on it since I'm hoping to get an iPod soon. All other alternatives I had seen were too expensive to be worthwhile or didn't have a screen. How can you buy an MP3 player in which you don't know what's playing??!!?? this small player has an incredible amount of information, it's incredibly small, includes interesting functions and works with drag and drop like a breeze. Battery life is 12 hours as promised. The cons are basically the headphones (better use your own) and I found the maximun volume a bit low. All in all, it's definetly an excellent choice (you can use it as a pen drive if you get tired of the MP3 functions)
