The Neuros HD20GB isn't just an MP3 player--it's a portable digital audio computer, capable of storing thousands of songs, broadcasting them wirelessly to any FM radio, and recording music via either the built-in FM tuner, microphone, or line-in jack. The HD20GB can store 5,000 CD-quality songs (encoded at 128kbps) on its 20 GB hard drive and works seamlessly with the Neuros Synchronization Manager software on your Windows-based PC to synchronize your library and playlist changes. The Neuros HD player includes these exclusive, innovative features:
MyFi (My Frequency) digital tuning technology enables convenient wireless high-fidelity playback through any FM radio without wires or connectors. MyFi automatically scans and locates the least populated station available for transmission.

It uses the Neuros Synchronization Manager software application as the conduit for information transfer, and allows management of complete PC library, including future downloads, playlist creation, and song deletions from the device itself.
The Neuros interface includes five programmable preset buttons, a large 128 x 128-pixel high-resolution display and a main scroll-button that allows for easy navigation of the userÕs entire music collection. In addition, an amber backlight display allows for clear visibility in daylight as well as low-light conditions. It's compatible with MP3 VBR, OGG, WAV, and WMA formats, and transfers files via ultra-fast USB 2.0.

A decent MP3 player, but a great multipurpose recorder.......2005-03-13
If you're reading this are probably interested in getting the Neuros MP3 player and multiformat recorder. I'll give you a few basics that may help you decide.
I bought this because I want a recorder that record FM channel and this unit could. But also that it could broadcast on an FM channel was an added bonus, and didn't require an additional part. Another feature that won me over was the line in recording. So I could record from an audio source using an eighth inch audio cable.
And here's a few things about this unit. It doesn't have a microphone preamp so you can't just run a microphone into it. You'll need to buy a preamp that is kind of a bummer. And the lowest MP3 you can record at is 64 K.
This is the bonus feature section!!!
One of the biggest reasons to get this player is that has open-source firmware (this means that the community of Neuros users can adjust the firmware that are released an ad features). This is already available through the garbage-branch firmware this firmware adds so much to the recorder is a must-have. Go to the Neuros web site and check out the user forum. There's tons of information. Also, this unit has the bonus feature of being able to record in wav (which is uncompressed audio). So you won't get any distortion by compression, and also it's able to record in ogg vorbis which again I believe is an open-source audio compression format that is lossless.
So, this unit has a lot going for it. I was able to record seven plus hours of FM radio. On one charge of the battery that was after I upgraded to the open-source firmware.
One quick note there many versions of the Neuros available. There is a 128 MB/256 MB Mini player, with those you can buy a backpack. That is actually just a laptop hard drive in a case, thus allowing you to add 20 to 100 gigs of hard drive space. No thing to note is that you cannot pop out the mini Neuros from the ones that do not have the flash memory inside. I hope that made sense, if not go to the Neuros web site.

Have some fun and get it done
Very Unhappy.......2005-02-10
Great features on paper...But when you try to use it, you get an error message - Check out the review on the 80 GB unit. Looks like someone else had the same issue. Straight out of the box the unit will not power up properly.
Customer service has been very responsive, but I am on my second replacement unit. I am having no luck with getting an actual working player ( even the guy I talked to in customer service said they were having many problems with this issue and my replacement unit would take a while to come out since they were waiting for a good batch from the factory). I live in a large city also so the FM transmit thing will probably not work well since most station frequencies are taken - Again refer to the review on the 80 GB model. Save your money . I am just glad I didn't shell out what the poor guy who bought the 80 gb unit did.
This is the best buy for your money!.......2004-11-17
Save your money - don't buy an Ipod. This MP3 player from Neuros is the most awesome buy for your money. The software is extremely easy to use and it holds up to 5,000 songs! The earpieces are very clear and sound great. You also get an adapter so you can charge it in your car. The most awesome thing about this player is that if you can play it through any radio when you use the earbuds!!! And if you have a cassette player in your car you can buy a converter and play it through your car speakers! You can virtually take your music everywhere. I listen to mine on my computer's speakers every day at work. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this player. Like I said, don't buy an Ipod - this player ROCKS!
