Great review guys. I have one on order over at www.miniplayer.info. It is about time we get a nice alternative to iPod.

Isn't miniplayer.info that fake site?

Great review, by the way.

Wouldn't take the risk of buying at that place. Check this place instead:
http://www.meizuamerica.com/

And yeah, it's a good review.
I can add to it that I can play well over 40 minutes of video.
The review probably was with the beta of the firmware release.

Solinx

Pretty good review.
It's too bad that the Meizu m6 video support is only 18 FPS...

While the screen is only 320 x 240 and it can only play video at 18 FPS, will it play Xvid at higher resolution and framerate (and just scale down the resolution and drop the extra frames)? Or is conversion required?

It's not an MP4 player but an MP3 player.So video playing is only its additional founction. Now I heared that the newest firmware surport video at 20FPS.
But don't forget than it is cheap enough!Much cheaper than iPOD!!!

The player can also scale down, but why would you want that? Because it takes more memory when you do not convert the video file. And you won't see any difference.

Bart: Pure laziness is the reason! (I have a divx player for my home theater, and use higher resolution files for that. I'd rather just plop something that was created for that purpose into my M6--even if it takes more memory--instead of converting all the time.)

Any insider information on a possible 8GB model?
That would be the deal sealer for me.

Also, does this support album art?
and I wish it supported mp4 D:

why do you say miniplayer.info is a fake?

miniplayer here is only 850RMB($106.25),i am in china ,haha

ganluyi - Is that for the 1gb model? The 4gb model is usually around $200.XX usd in china. If you can get the 4gb model for that then start selling on ebay ;)

hi arrow ,Mine is 1gb model,i do like to sell the miniplayer on ebay,but its to hard to get the paypal money transfer into my bank account in china.so i gave it up.

Hi all,

I have a question about a phrase here, the original is:

"As far as sound quality, the miniPlayer runs with the big dogs, especially when
it comes to lower end. "

Can any of you tell me what does "run with the big dogs" and "lower end" mean respectively? Does "lower end" refer to the bass sound or does it imply that this is an entry-level player?

I am not a native English speaker so I have the confusion. I asked a few native speakers but they seemed to have different views on this question.

Thank you.

Pan.

And by the way, I have a review on M6 myself. I have a copy at DAPreview as well.

"run with the big dogs" means it as just as good as the bigger name players like the ipod

and i am pretty sure that "lower end" refers to the bass sound

how does this player compare to the sansa e260?
is it worth waiting for and paying a little more?

I think it's firmware will be better and better. I'll take one.

As always, leave it the folks at Meizu to continue producing a stunning product. Like all the mp3 players in the Meizu evolution, the M6 delivers on what the consumers want.

Similar in shape and look that many compare to Apple's popular models, the M6's similarities are only superficial. It is unlikely that Meizu attempted to "copy-cat" Apple's line-up, considering the stunning and uniqueness of all the predicators. Undoubtedly it will be difficulty for any mp3/mp4 manufacturer to create a better physical design than the one in question.

We’ve been an authorized Meizu reseller for over two years. We really do know our mp3 players!
.

show me the meaning of being lonely. I do like the miniplayer.not only for its appearance ,it is so beautiful.but also for its price,it is so cheap to Apple'ipod.however,my favourty is ipod.who know the Apple's gpod when on the market!

I am glad to hear that this device has a great low end sound output, I am a bass head, yes. I've always enjoy products from Cowon Iaudio due to their great sound output. How is this new device stack up with Cowon? I am a fan of flash memory and not hard drive, the Cowon I6 wasn't disappointed me a bit. Therefore, I look forward to this Meizu M6's performance, should be a fun experience. Thumbs up to great music.

what is the date when m6 is going to be sold in US ?

pan,你也到这里来留言了阿，哈哈

哈哈，那是自然。有关Miniplayer的讨论我一般都是比较关注的，尤其是国外站点。兄弟在魅族坛是哪位？

Pan.

To Javi,

Thank you for your interpretations about running with the big dos and lower end. I am sorry if it sounds like I am talking big, but sound quality wise, Miniplayer's performance is not just as good as "big dogs", but a bit better than many you would think of, including iRiver's! I haven't personally tried out iAudio's, but it's said that it's at nearly the same level as is iRiver. The iPod's sound playback has been quite controversial here in China, but by most reckoning iPods' success lies mostly in its background and design, not the sound quality.

I am sorry I haven't heard of sansa e260 before so I can't answer your question.

Pan.

When i said "big dogs" i meant iAudio, Creative, and the higher end MP3 players not the iPod. The iPod sounds average at best.

My apologies for the confusing American expressions. I will avoid them in the future and write for more of a global audience.

Hi, EnzoTen,

Thank you very much for your explanation. It's ok. I've been learning American English for six years; actually I like American English better than British English. :) Your review has been repasted here and there, and readers on MeiZu's official forum speak high of your objective and down-to-earth review.

I think you are being honest when defining iPod's sounds "average at best".

Miniplayer means a lot to Meizu despite its bugs, a few of which can be annoying sometimes. The good news is that most of these bugs are firmware-related and can thus be cleared out one way or another. As an aspiring company in portable digital music players, Miniplayer is a new start.

Hope to read more reviews from you,

Pan.

In France you can buy it on http://www.dokho.com it is now in stock !

is the the m6 going to be sold in the US? if it does what is the date when ist going to come out

is the the m6 going to be sold in the US? if it does what is the date when ist going to come out

We can get it for $219 from MisticAudio.net if we wanted it right now, but I was just wondering if we waited for the release in the US, would it be cheaper?

Great mp3 player really quite awesome. too bad i already bough a sansa e250 but whatever.
Btw EnzoTen is your name influenced by Uruguayan great Enzo Francescoli?
Also what is your main mp3 player that you use for everyday use?

Thanks.

hehe ,I am very glad that so many people attion this mps--MEIZU MINI PLAYER,I very like it ,I think, It will be better .
and I want to see M7 M8 M9 and so on ,see more "made in China"

我有一台X6,很好用哦,谢谢有这么好的产品.

Hello.
I'm very intrested in the M6 miniplayer.
I would like to know a few things:

1) Can i use it to transfer photos from my camera (canon) or from a card reader with an usb interface? I mean usb on the go (OTG)?.

2) Can i see photos on it without any pixel limit? I mean, can i see photos of 5,6 or more megapixels without scale it?

I read about the usb on the go (otg) but now i read you have to scale down photos to see them !!! So.. i can transfer photos and i can't see...???

ANY HELP???

Hi, Javier,

The Miniplayer itself doesn't support USB OTG. But don't lose your heart yet. It's said that the OTG will be available on it's external battery case. The problem is this legendary batter case hasn't been released yet and nobody's ever seen it so far except those working in MeiZu's office.

The given specs say it supports pictures as big as 1024X1024, but tests show pictures as huge as 3000plus X 2000plus pixels can be displayed correctly, but a little more slowly. I think that's enough for most cases.

Hope this helps.

Pan.

you will find meizu on ebay germany ships worldwide:

Great review!!!
it was very nice to read.
Thx a lot!!!

Pan,

1) Will they be fixing the random audio feature? Right now, there isn't too much with it being random.

2) Are they adding/getting audible support? I would love for that to be one of THE features to add in the near future.

3) Will the converter eventually handle .wmv? That would make it really useful.

The converter, do you mean vdub? Vdub was made by a seperate guy, so I doubt meizu will rewrite vdub to allow it to handle .wmv

although, vdubmod seems like another good choice.

Does anyone have any idea of what sort of long-term battery life to expect? I know it's really new still, but since it's a built-in battery, I'm nervous to buy one unless I know the battery won't stop holding a charge after 6 months of use/charging. I have friends with iPods and other such mp3 players that had that problem. Thanks.

is this another player that only charges from a computer? I'm looking for a flash player that plugs into a wall that I can throw in my backpack for a trip. Recharging my player at an internet cafe for 15 mins at a time doesn't seem like a solution to me. I compared this with the Sansa that appears to have the same problem.
I see that Griffin makes a charger for iPods that recharges through a USB cable. Anyone know if this will work with something other than iPods?

Yes it works with a usb wall charger.

Thank you Kenneth!

Great review, I've been reading some reviews about the M6 and it sounds great! Does anyone know if it will be released in Australia? If not I'm sure I could get some relatives to get a hold of it in China...xD But yeah any info would be great!

魅族MEIZU中国官方网站：www.meizu.com

aguante el enzo!

I heard Meizu pulled all of their firmware off the site....that doesn't sit well at all!

I've been researching a new mp3 player. I have to say that this is by far the best site I've run across. Info is good and unbiased. The depth of the reviews is awesome. I didn't even know what an M6 was before I read this page. Too bad I already got a z5--on the bright side, I got the 4GB for only $150, so maybe I'll sell it and get the M6.

Great REVIEW! specialy whit the movie review thing!! love it!!! more of that sort of video review....couze i am sold!! my fav page of mp3 players!

ok, i am serching for a new mp3 player since my iaudio U2 was stolen..... 1 of the best mp3 player of all time in my opinium couze of the SOUND!!!
Now that olmost all my friends mp3's have color screen and video playback.... i dont wont 2 feel outside :) Been looking alot at the iaudio 6 4gig player..... been reading the reviews and stuff..... One thing i dont like is the HD.... they are talking about delay and taking 2 long 2 play ones its over 3 gig musik on the player..... so that just sucks.... so no iaudio 6 for me.... i work whit musik, so my prioraty is the SOUND!!! secund.. is the delay when you switch 2 another song.... the rest is just a bonus.... and the size is 2 verry important..... iaudio 5XL just 2 big 2 walk around whit since you allready have a cellphone..... Meizu M6 looks and sounds like perfect for me :) but still.... i would like more talk about the sounds on the reviews and compare whit other mp3 player since this is a "sound page" thing :) So how good is the sounds quality compare 2 iaudio and iriver.... the nano is just a shame 2 litsen music on in my opinium.... love the rest of it specialy the size....

They should make it compatible with iTunes for Mac users! The hole drag anf drop thing is very tedious, boring and low tech.
Either way, I think I'll stick with the iPod till then. The iPod will never be outdone!

> The hole drag anf drop thing is very tedious, boring and low tech.
Have you ever thought that maybe this is exactly what other people want?
Yeah, go and stick with your iPod.

Have you ever thought that maybe this is exactly what other people want?
Yeah, go and stick with your iPod.

Hear hear. My thoughts exactly. UMS is what I like, sod 'syncing'.

does anyone know which screen is brighter? the clix or the meizu m6?

for 2gb, both the clix and meizu m6 are about $180 (meizu = import fee + price), so which one would you guys recommend?

clix is too thick for my liking and i wouldn't go for a 2gb player... also the missing MSC on the clix would bugger me. but maybe i'm biased cause i just bought a 4gb m6 ;)

BTW, what is that funny looking acrylic stand on those photos?

thanks boon. that acrylic stand looks like a holder for business cards.

hehe,miniplayer has been sold out of china!Here,it's very cheap,you can get it from [url] www.taobao.com[/url].of course,the site is chinese.but you can get the price easiely.

I bought mine in China for 1600RMB, 4gb model.
I can't say that the touchpad on this is any worse than the one on the ipod. On this one you can at least navigate by just tapping the pad, after a while you'll get used to it and it is much easier to navigate without looking at the player ... I don't know why apple didn't implement something that simple.

Furthermore the support in the Meizu forum is great. The people from Meizu are definitely interested in how to improve the player in terms of firmware.
And here in Europe Meizu is not that unknown. They have been selling their smaller usb-stick players for quite a while and they also sound realy realy good.

The latest firmware (version T1.008) supports FLAC audio.
Black version is available in China.Wish you guys love it.
Actually,I'd like to own one very much,but my purse....
wish win the scholarship .

I really think this is a great model...the only drawback i could think of is that it doesn't have a tv-out jack...yeah, i wish it had one...then this would be perfect...maybe meizu will come up with a new design...hope so...

NOTE: www.digitalelement.ca isn't importing the M6 yet!!! They were supposed to start selling them in Canada in August but there's a dispute with some NA company over mp3 licensing in Canada. I talking with them and they didn't want to give me a date on when I could purchase one because even they weren't sure when it would happen. I'm still planning on purchasing a M6 when I can, but Meizu hasn't worked out all its licensing issue in Canada yet. (which is ODD because they're selling all the other mp3 players right now, just not the M6) Disappointed but its either the M6 or a Mylo for me!!! (I know, big difference on a number of levels)

OH! And one big let down that I firmware upgrade could fix is the ability to zoom images in and out. I don't know if this is already offered, the review hasn't detailed it. I'm thinking manga and comic scans being readable while listening to tunes on the good ole public transpo.

I just bought the sandisk e270 over this player for two major reasons

1. it was cheaper with more memory. 180 to my door and 2 more gb

2. I can use it with one hand. I do that alot with my nano (which I'm selling ha)

I'm just curious- can this thing play avi's without converting them first?

Because the player sounds great but the idea of having to convert my video doesn't do much for me.

Help?

Should I get the 4gig version on ebay for $225 white? Is there a risk for getting something that isn't available in the US? Firmware, warranty, etc.

Thanks for your expertises.

8lias: I live in Europe and a storebought Sansa e270 (4GB) costs exactly US $200 here.

The extra $25 must be for the radio which Europeans do not have.

snaithbert: This player only supports quicktime and as I make out from the review you would still have to convert that .mov into one which is supported. So yes, you must convert any .avi video container into a supported .mov.

ARGH, disregard my previous post. I thought I was commenting on the SanDisk Sansa review.

snaithbert: AFAIK the player only supports video up to 20 FPS so you do have to convert any PAL/NTSC standard video to 20 FPS.

8lias: I'd buy it.

As of now, if we live in a slighly perfect world, a black 8gig one would do it. Soon or later, that'll happen, but I hate waiting game, I want it, I want it NOW, gosh, it's so hard to be human sometime, we are sooooo spoiled and demanding. OK...Meizu....PLEASE....STOP TEASING ME.... I am buying the white 4gig on eBay next week for $209 plus $14.99 shipping charge, also comes with a clear case. Curse all of you if you are waiting for the black 8gig one, just kidding. LOL

Why is everyone buying before the firmware fixes what's missing?

One reason is to be unique. Only last week I finally found another person to have a Meizu during the 3 months that I own this player, and I frequently travel by train and bus between two relatively big cities. Another is that they had already made a few good firmware upgrades, third is that Meizu depends on a low number of quality products, which means they will support each individual product better. The final reason was that my old player broke down and we were going on a two week holiday... The player was reported to function good enough and firmware would be on its way.

In short, Im very statisfied with this player and glad I didn't go the Ipod road.

Solinx

WARNING: Meizu clearly has poor quality control.

I bought an M6 and it broke after two days! This isn't a fluke apparently because multiple people have posted on their forums about a "white screen of death" or not being able to do this or that as it should.

I loved the little player but it seems very unreliable. The slideshows are an awesome feature and it plays ogg and flac (with firware upgrade) Unfortunately, their firmware upgrades are solving issues that should have been solved with testing before going to market and if you're spending $200 it needs to be reliable.

I returned mine and bought a 4GB iAudio6 for $180 instead of $210 for 4GB Meizu Mini-Player.

I received mine yesterday, and first impressions have been great. The interface is fine (execpt for the slightly bizarre way of video UI which was mentioned in the review) I think the sound quality and feature set is fantastic for a player of this size/price. My previous player was an iAudio M3 20GB (replaced it due to a faulty headphone jack), and this little player not only looks better, but has a similar feature set (the m3 doesn't support video) and a better interface (the m3 had file system browsing only). I bought it from miniplayer.info, and although I was charged an £8.65 customs charge and had to wait almost 3 weeks, I'm quite happy with their service. They even included a tanslucent case which I initially hated, but has really grown on me, as it provides a robust casing for one of the most beautiful players on the market (IMO) at the end of the day, I'm extraordinarly happy with my purchase and I'd recommend the M6 to anyone!

I'm a US resident and am planning on purchasing this mp3 player from miniplayer.info. But, I hear that the US release doesn't have mp3 support. Others respond by saying that firmware updates can remedy this problem.

Can anyone fill me in on this issue?

Thanks!!

1 thing i wanna say. the thing that made this plyr rly stand out to me was that it played the xvid codec. xvid codec is one of the best codecs out there and very space-saving. other plyr like sansa plays this horrible mjpeg-B codec that makes videos 2-3x larger. but generally this plyr looks nice but a lil too close-looking to the ipod. i want this plyr!

Has anyone gotten iriviter to work on a Mac?

I wish it came in 6 or 8 gig

If I get this in the US off of eBay, will it be in English when i get it? Can I go though the menu and change it to English or Japanese easily or do i need a different firmware.

Have you asked the seller? He would most likely know. I know it's not the response you wanted, but it's faster than waiting for an answer.

плеер ништяковый

ok the seller says it will be set to english but i just want to know if it is posible on all versions to set to a diffrent language just in case

Whether probably to correct a mistake with the white screen of death? I am sorry for the English if has made a mistake.

meizu players come with the ability to switch between different languages. just go into settings.

btw. for me, www.meizuamerica.com isn't working for me. anyone know why?

also, for those that are turned off by the ugly headphones, it's not true. I bought a meizu m6 and it came with white headphones.

eric: all you need to do is just buy the player, goto en.meizu.com
download the newest firmware, viola. you'll have a normal functioning meizu m6 that will play mp3 as many times as you want.

Anyone know when these things are coming out in the US?
I just brought a sansa back because it scratched way to easy.
Thanks.

It's facing some mp3 licensing issues last I heard. It may be a while before they hit the states. Your best bet would be ordering them online.

The new Firmware fixes the mp3 problem and you can download it easily of the net.

dan-elec is distributing it in the states i think (and canada too most likely).

I just bought the 1 Gb for 650 RMB only.. hahahaha... In China of course... ^_^ Btw, look at the earphone jack, it's GOLD plated!! Let's see you IPod provide that... lol

Any knows where i can nuy it here in Portugal?

Anyone know where to buy this in Toronto,Ontario?

what's the difference between the TP version and the SP version?? anyone know what this stands for?

The difference is the manufacturer of the screen. Tp version get charger and usb OTG in the package. it cost more than sp version, other than that, its all the same.

Got one for 1400 RMB in Tianjin, China. This included external USB battery pack, USB A/C adaptor, 3 silicon skins, a black faux leather case w/ screen cover and a set of screen protectors. Converting video is a little time consuming but not too bad. Just make a profile for a program like Super or Iriverter and you're good to go with converting DVDs or getting content off the net. Really stoked with it and now I've got some ipod toting friends who're interested.

Oh yeah, it was a black 4G sp model.

Stick with your iPod
This stuff will NEVER last longer than a few months and they're all fakes and iPod wannabes

where can we buy the meizu the less expensive??

can anyone here who has the player for months now comment about the battery life of the player??? I am really interested on buying this one because it looks great, the new firmware is great afaik, video, fm, 4g, cheaper than the overpriced ipod where youre only buying the brand but not the quality (coming from a guy who hates brand zombies). Also if anyone got information as whether what should we do when the battery life degrades over time? can we replace them manually?

The reason i dont want an ipod is because half of my music library is in wma format, and i cannot be arsed to convert them to mp3.. wma has better compression rates compared to mp3, so why switch to mp3??? geez

And oh Andy, i sense youre an ipod fanboy.

Accessories are hard to get for this one though.. silicone, charger, external battery

I've owned a miniplayer since july this year...there has been no problem with the battery life...for music i get around 16 hours with custom EQ...it's been like that since i bought it.

...as for replacing the battery manually i don't know. :p...wouldn't wanna open my player.

...there are available accessories online...the external battery is a nice one to have. ;)

Got this a couple months ago and it's been great. Control takes getting used to but I love the multitude of functionalities and the great size. Battery life is excellent IMHO.

Ontif, I suggest you go to pacific mall located @ kennedy and steeles if you want to buy from a retailer. Since Meizu is a chinese operated company, your best bet should be from a chinese store. I am going there myself as soon as I have time to find the m6.

Hey everyone,
does anyone know how much i
can get a mini player in Oz for,

thanks for all the comments im still deciding on a n mp3 player. it doesnt have bluetooth rite?

I
Just need some radio but i dont have the money to buy in live in ghana i am appealing for you to send me one

bought one last month at 850 yuan (109USD), the 1gb version with toshiba screen (they call it TP version, or delux version).
pros: good and balanced sound after some tweaks on the equalizer (dont use the pre-set equalizers, turn off 3D sound, dont boost bass too much. ), very good screen (great color). solid build.
cons: some background noise.
they just cut the price. now a 2GB delux version is sold for 850 yuan. but rumor has it that the NAND memory chip is changed to MLC from SLC, the latter is faster and more durable.

overall, this is a better and cheaper product than IPOD.
ps. you should tear off the protective cover on the back, while keep the screen protector. the back protective cover may accumulate sweat and dust on the border.

www.miniplayer.info

It comes that the Meizu company will bring a new product called Music Card in the near Feb.This new product has a better sound quality as a pure music player without video function.It has a thinner figure than ipod nano II but better sound quality even than iRiver S10......Also it has changable appearance.The price of 8G FLASH will be lower than $125.How attravtive~

The official website of meizu in China is www.meizu.com for ChinaTelecom line and www.meizu.com.cn for ChinaNetCom line.

The most important is that meizu has no any official website abroad. That means the official websites is noly the two above in China!

I have one of 2GB, I think it works good in playing audio, and both video with special video type change.

And, of course, it's very cheap in China. I bought it with 699RMB ($89.62).

魅族forum 裏看起來還有很多的problems -.-
i was this close to asking people in china to get it for me, until i saw meizu's forums..my goodness, people's posted all sorts of problems on there. I don't want to have to deal with any of these problems if i get my meizu. all of a sudden i realized this product is still new and unreliable. you don't see this many problems on the ipod forums- what with the death screen and the unsupporting firmware.
think i'm gonna stick with my ipod for now.

真高兴，外国人也那么喜欢魅族，我也准备去买M6了，我真的非常喜欢，太可爱了！

I have a MEIZU E2
Quite cute!

Any info on the battery life and how long before it must be sent in to be replaced? I have a feeling that will cost about the same as the ipods.

So are the videos really 20 FPS now? Do you guys think it's choppy??? How many songs/videos can you approximately fit for a 2GB???

Please reply!

Thanks!

Me siento muy alegre de que MEIZU pueda mostrar en extranjero y obtener tan bueno exito!

are the buttons on the front touch or are they actual buttons you have to press?
because in the video whenever the guy presses i hear a click.

also what are the languages that it can display
im korean and i have alot of korean music
will it be able to display the song names and artists?

I just received my M6 3 days ago, and it's been fantastic. The buttons on the front are BOTH touch and click. The top, left, right, bottom buttons are clicks, but when you select something, you can just touch the middle of the keypad and it will select. I love the buttons interface, it's so much better than the iPod. The videos were not as choppy as I thought, and the M6 was smaller than I thought. So far, I'm really impressed.

So, just to sum up everything that's been said...

it will come in 8gb format sooner or later? is this confirmed?

Doesn't it come with a wall-charger, right? So, it's USB only like the Ipod. That's too bad.

does it have any problem with the random function? Some above poster mentioned this, but I'm not sure what he's talking about. I ask because I only use an mp3 player with a big playlist and random enabled.

Also, are the rumours of a new Meizu player, 8gb and no video coming up in february? That would be great, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Hey,
I have a M6 Mini player and have problems with the headphone jack.
It crackles when you move the headphone plug around, and sometimes cuts out for a second. can anyone help with this? Thanks

I have been proud of being a user of Meizu.

Can someone help me? I have a meizu miniplayer and i recently tries to put somemore music on. But now wen i try to turn it on it freezes on the part where it infroms that i have to "UPDATE THE DISC INFORMATION", and i cant acess it or connect it to the computer, so im rather stuck! Please help me

the price is getting lower and lower here in china, you can get 4GB miniplayer for RMB699, about 87 US dollars. what a great news!!

I do not think m6 is a good choice for audio addict. I prefer iAudio U3. It's much better than m6 in audio quability. although its higher price, 95dB+60mW+BBE really worth it. My U3+MX90VC is perfect. Ouch! I like U3 so much. By the way, I'm Chinese.

The 8GB Meizu by Dane-Elec miniPlayer will most likely be in the US toward the end of March.

Dane-Elec currently has no plans to market the M3 Music Card, so you would have to get them through other sources. Dane-Elec is Meizu's exclusive distributor in North America and Europe, though many Meizu OEM versions obviously make their way into the market through Chinese sellers and importers worldwide.

We currently carry the 4GB and 2GB miniplayers. We are a US based seller, and we will be carrying the 8GB miniplayer as soon as it is launched in the US. www.jtcelectronics.biz

魅族在美国的售价是多少啊？

mead in China,
Meizu is best!!!Meizu is more good then ipod!!!!!

I just purchased one of these. Almost made the mistake of buying a 4gb nano instead!

I look forward to getting it. I've already purchased a protective housing for it, downloaded itunemywalkman for itunes compatability, and virtual dub for video conversion.

I can't wait to start using it!

The only downfall/item I'm looking for now is a powered cradle for the car that I had gotten so used to with my ipod mini. Just set in in place and drive. Oh well. I'll figure something out until they start making accessories for this thing.

hi everyone i am buying a ,p3 player what sort of mp3 player do you guys have?

Can anyone who has had one for a while comment on any stability and reliability issues?

Wonderful Review VerY Detailed.. And I'm Glad You Mentioned That You Can Put A Photo As A Background Cause No One Ever Says That ^_^
Very Helpful!..I Think This Is What I'm Going To Get From Amazon.com

just found out that Meizu has 8 GB miniplayer, this will come out soon. better then 4gb right

how do you download movies on the meizu

There is conversion software provided that reduces the video to 6fps

The player is excellent - I'm really I happy I discovered it before getting an iPlod

I have a meizu mp4 player tho i only use it for music and photos, tho the vid is great too im just more of a music person. Anyway, theres a prob in its voice recorder so if you have any intention of using it as a voice recorder im not advicing that you purchase this. What Im fond of about this music player is that you can personalize it :) [ex. make one of your photos as your MP's wallpaper and change the menu design] and the sounds are clearer than those of an ipod's, and could be set up based on a genre. The resolution is great too!! I'm really very very satisfied&happy with this :)

I've been looking at mp3 players for a while, and I'm really looking at this and the e270 (6gb). I've got a few questions, if you don't mind answering...

Overall, how would you say it measures up to the e270? I can get it on Amazon for about the same price as the e270, and the space isn't much of an issue, so...opinions?
Does it have continuous playback, by any chance?
Can you navigate through the music using genre (talking ID3 tags here)?
Would it be the sort of thing you could take to school/on car trips without it dissolving in a matter of days? (Question of durability, really. I don't run cars over my mp3 players or anything, and they last a fairly long time, but I still don't really want one that if I drop it on a rock or something it's dead--iPod durability is fine for me, even though they're breakable)
About how big would a 4-5 minute video come out to be using the conversion software?
What's the video sound quality like (would I want to use it for music videos?...)?
Can you slip it into a jean pocket without the screen busting/scratching?
Are accessories available in the US? (I'm talking a protective silicone case--I've seen them on various websites but no buy links.)
Are there any evil little bugs like it skips in the middle of a song/it can't order tracks properly/the recording feature is crap that I ought to know about?

And now that I've interrogated you pretty thoroughly on this thing...well, I hope you don't mind answering.

how many songs does da thing hold?

Number of songs varies depending on their size and bitrate. Generally, it's 250 per GB. Most companies use that as their standard rule though it can vary a lot.

Meizu Miniplayer had become official in USA??! Well at least its found on J&R New York site..

hey,

I am thinking about buying this unit, but I wanted to know if any tried to play song a with Korean text, and see if it can display it correctly on this unit. I have seem some websites stating that it can view English, Chinese, Korean & Japanese. But when I look at the menu, I only saw English and Chinese language. I am hoping to leave the menus as is(English), but be able to see Korean text file names.

Has anyone tried this?

Taken from the Meizu company site: Multi-language Supported. ID3V2, ID3V1, Filename Supported
There are English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean languages

This is definately the best review for the meizu m6 I've read, in fact I've got one ordered :-D. Apparently the latest firmware also supports 20FPS which is great for the videophiles.

i have problems like this too, jerrod. except that i tried to update the firmware and it said : updating firmware. then it just froze with a white screen, can anyone help me with this?

Hi, anyone know which version is sold at Wallgreens.... the TP or SP?

I'm looking at the 4GB model BLack or White.

Thanks

go to en.meizu.com
dont worry its english :DD

Great thanks for the link.

I would rather have looked at one before i bought it but i read a lot of reviews about it and looked at sites like en.meizu.com etc. and I decided to just order it over the internet.

i got mine at www.mp4nation.com -- that is the LOWEST PRICE i could find. its lower than miniplayer.info and costs less for shipping. they have nifty speakers that you can plug in like headphones too. only thing is they dont have any skins or much accecories like that.

i'm still happy with the price though, cant wait to get it in the mail!

Christiana, I just ordered my 8gb M6 from mp4nation. I was wondering about how long it takes them to ship your order and how long delivery takes? I ordered mine 2 days ago and haven't heard from them yet, I was wondering if yours has been shipped? Thanks

somestrangetextvista http://gfdgfsdgfd.com

i'm interested in buying either a 4 or 8 gb. is the 8 out yet and where can i buy it? Do all walgreens stores sell them? and when you say that walgreens sells them, are you talking about the drug store-JB?

Does anyone know if the zen vision is good?

I was looking at the M6 8GB version on the mp4nation.com site and I was wondering, is the the headphone jack on the M6 8Gb version 2.5mm or 3.5mm? Because aren't most headphones 3.5mm?

The jack is standard 3.5mm

Does anyone have experience with downloading iTunes AND non-iTunes (i.e. not purchased) mp3's to the M6? Cnet says this player "doesn't support protected digital music" and that "DRM music hawker should steer clear". I'm not exactly sure what they mean by that.

Have anyone got their Meizu from www.mp4nation.com yet? Seems to good to be true!

Btw, Meizu rocks! I love my Music Card so much! A lot better than iPod Nano.

I got a 4GB BLK from newegg.com for $89 after $10 rebate.

Great little player! :)

I purchased an M6 from Walgreens for $99 on June 7th which was promised to ship on 6/11/07 and have not received it yet or received a shipping email. My order status still says "processing". Customer service can tell me no further details about my order and all references to this item on their website show an "in-stock" status, so why can't they just ship the darn thing!!!. I do not recommend purchasing from Walgreens. This is very poor customer service.

@ Don Kush:

I did the same thing with Walgreens. I ordered one in late May expecting mine to ship on the 11th of June, as it stated on the website and in the email confirmation they sent upon my order.

I emailed customer service and they said their vendor didn't have them in stock and that they'd ship the following Monday. When that didn't happen, I emailed them again and they said that my order had not been received and that I wouldn't be charged.

Today, someone from Walgreens called me and told me that they didn't have the black ones in stock but that they could send me a white one instead.

In kinder words, I told them to buzz off.

hmmm just wondering did anyone who ordered from mp4nation get a confirmation email saying that its been shipped yet?

Does this display the album artwork for songs?

Just a follow-up on my recent Walgreens experience. Eventually (two weeks later) I received a useful email from their ECOM customer service similar to Tom's phone call mentioned above. They offered me the options of waiting longer for the black M6, cancelling the order, or purchasing the white M6 with a $10 credit for my trouble. I took a chance and agreed to the white unit which shipped the next day and I received it within 3 business days. A bit late but they did make an effort to make me happy.

The dane-elec US distributor is apparently out of the black M6's
