Amazon.com Product Description
Early Adopters Pick: March 2003 This RipFlash is the first Flash-memory-based combination MP3 player, MP3 recorder, and voice recorder. It lets you 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 without the use of a PC.

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.

Super sucks!.......2004-02-19

I bought this product in June 2003. It stopped working 3 months later.
First it turned itself off abruptly with NO REASONS. - 1st month
Then strange characters start showing up. - 2nd month
Then nothing showed up on LED and no key works. - 3rd month
I don't think a 128MB MP3 player is supposed only to work for 3 months.
Be cautious of this product.

8 Hour Voice Recorder at Great Price!.......2004-01-27

I was looking at digital voice recorders w/ 5+ hrs recording time and they were all $150+, so I decided why not get an MP3 and have some extra bang for my buck? Not only is the quality on this better than my cheapy old recorder, but it was only $120 (not bad considering the dual function!), has 8 hrs recording time, the file types convert and then there is the whole MP3 thing so I can plug this into the CD player in my car. DRAWBACKS: Scratches easily/buttons activate easily (TIP-TRAVEL SOAP DISHES ARE PERFECT SIZE FOR A CASE!!), the software BITES (you'll have to restart your computer, reattach cables, yikes!), and it is kinda fussy about the batteries. I am forever opening and closing the battery door to get it to work for some reason. All in all I definitely got what I paid for and certainly am happy with it.

Great solution for mp3/wma listening and recording.......2003-09-20

Before I rave on about how great this product, let me just say up front that it is not the best mp3/wma player, nor is it the best recorder... but it is the best for doing both. I purchased the player because I wanted to listen to my digital music away from home. I purchased the Ripflash DX because I wanted to make digital recordings of the high school choirs that I teach. Because the DX records in WMA format, it is able to compress near-CD quality sound and transfer it to my computer without sending it through my sound card using a LINE IN or MIC port. With the ability to change the recording bitrate and the option for another 128MB, the recording options are near limitless.

REMARKABLE RECORDER/PLAYER for its size and price........2003-08-21

Hey you CAN'T have everything, especially in such a small package. Simple to use, just always use recharged batteries, use Ripflash DX mgr to upload to PC, Cakewalk Pyro 2003 to convert, and watch your memory available (or put in another SD card), and you shouldn't have any problems. I use mine EVERY WEEK, and I can't express how WONDERFUL this recorder is to carry around and use to record music lessons and live jams. REMARKABLE SOUND FOR SUCH A SMALL DEVICE!

A great product!.......2003-08-17

This is one of the nicest gadgets I've ever bought. I had a MPIO FL-100 and it sucked compared to the RipFlash DX. This does everything you would want it to do. The FL-100 had an FM radio built in that you could record from, but it recorded in wav format at only one bitrate of like 32kps, which is about telephone quality! So you got these huge files that would fill the memory up in like one or two songs, and the sound quality was like listening to a friend play the radio over the phone, LOL! I sold it in a heartbeat.

The RipFlash DX was 50% less, and it is really nice! It's very light, you don't even know you have it in your pocket, it has great sound, and the buttons are well thought out. One of the nicest features is that you can record from any line out source, like a cd player or radio in wma format. It sounds cd quality! So if I'm listening to the radio I can just hit the record when I want to record a song. No more getting music from Kazaa (it's starting to worry me now that they're busting individuals)!

The batteries last forever, it seems, which is really great because my pda's don't last long at all. And the nice thing about not having a rechargeable battery is that you can always take a few batteries with you. I've had rechargeables go dead right when I was into an audiobook, and I had no choice but wait til the next day.

Another important feature is the expandable memory. Pop in a 256mb mm card and you have plenty of space. Many mp3 players aren't expandable these days, which I can't figure out. Anyway, buy this mp3 player, you will not be disappointed!
