[OT] Anyone have the specns for this player?

[Andy]

Does anyone have this Tesco MP3 player and can post the specifications.

"Technika MP-106 256MB MP3 Player (Black)"

interested in knowing the following for when it is RECORDING FROM THE MICROPHONE:

(1) what sort file formats it uses for recordings (eg MP3, WAV-PCM, WMA).

(2) what different settings it can make for audio quality.

[Jim]

There's very little information on that player in English.

specifications.

Well, although it doesn't look exactly the same, it appears to be a generic Chinese made MP3 player, similar to those found here;

for an extra 27 pence, you could get one from eBuyer that does exactly the same, but with 512mb storage capacity :-)

Maybe but I had one from ebay that broke after a few months and the vendor had vanished, at least tesco will still be there

[Semach.the.monkey]

Note that I said eBuyer, not eBay :-)

I bought a generic one from eBuyer about 16 months ago, and upuntil it was stolen last night, it never gave me a moment of trouble despite being used for a minimum of 2 hours a day!

[Gavin]

Oh yea.. Sorry

Ebay specs for you :)

[Andy]

but with no info about the quality.

At Tesco I get it in my hot hand! :-)

[Guy King]

The message from "Semach.the.monkey" contains these words:

I'm returning one to eBuyer tommorow 'cos it's died - luckily within guarantee.

[Stuart Noble]

Most players will store any file format and play wma or mp3 (probably wav too). It's up to you which you use

[Andy]

But with what sort of quality?

[Stuart Noble]

Whatever quality you want. It's just a storage device like your hard drive

[Cheemag]

But would have to be in a format that the MP3 player can read.

[Ed Cryer]

What you call "the MP3 player" is a program which simply looks for files in MP3 format on the available memory. Whatever else is there, be it .TXT or .JPG, it just ignores. Plug it into a USB socket on a PC, and you can copy anything to the memory.

partly true, but you will find that certain players will play mp3 files of certain bitrates, i believe that what the OP was asking, for instance look @ the spec of this player

and note the codecs and bitrates supported, incidently, looks much like the Tesco's one.............

Hi, i noticed ebuyers site is not loading the images but everything else seams ok to be. Just to let you know theres a new site just been lauched at

the service will be better then ebuyers and the prices will be good. the site is still been added to but if you just crate an account this month you will get a free gift. so take a look at it. Hope this is useful to you all. They have big backing for major players and over 1000 new items will be added to the selection over the next month.

[Cheemag]

Yes, but a .wav for example would be of little use there if it didn't play back .wavs

Quite so, but pointless as the cheap ones usually only play .mp3 and .wma. If you just want to use it as an extra drive, then fine; bung anything you like on it.

Let's hope the grammar and spelling on the website are better than in this post.
