Ipod clone, crap or not?

Medion AG brings a MP3 player with a 20 GB hdd for only 199 Euro's. The player, called Medion MD95200, is a copy of Apple's Ipod. It even has the clickwheel. The Ipod Clone isn't just a cheap copy though. It has some features that the Ipod lacks. It supports SD/MMC memorycards, the battery can be easily replaced and it's got usb-to-go (which means you can save your digi photos on it without using a pc).

Only problem is, it was totally build out of plastic.

What do you guys think of this? Has anybody seen or use it yet? (It's only sold in Germany, for now)

I agree this Ipod clone is very cheap and nasty! and i work for Medion Tech Support!

Its not aimed at the high end market, rather the much lower end

The product retails in stores like Aldi and Lidl

However we have some really good products! Check out the PDA's all with GPS built in

And some of the PC's are very good spec, and i can vouch that the internal parts are known Brands. eg all motherboards are MSI.

Yes I agree... PDAs and PCs by medion are great... cheap but still quality... But this is something medion shouldn't have done... bad move IMO and I still think it's fugly :p

iRiver products are garbage? I could very well start a flame war here! You ignorant little prick.

I respect both Apple and iRiver, so I'm not going to bother hijacking a thread to prove to one fool that neither player is bull****.

Eugh. Go home. :/

that is a disgrace.... dont be poor get the real thing not that pos same goes for i river products.... garbage

okay I'm a iPod user, but what you said was GARBAGE.

I won't even get to how superior iRiver is in terms of battery and functionality, and I don't see how you can relate iRiver to iPod.

They don't even look similar.

BTW, that one really looks bad.

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
