MPIO MG100 in 4GB

Previously only available in 1GB and 2GB sizes, the MG100 now comes with 4GB of flash memory. Unfortunately, the capacity increase is the only change presented by MPIO.

JPEG, BMP, and videos in the MTV file format (with conversion software included) can still be displayed on the 1.5-inch, 176×132 pixel, 262K-color LCD screen. The MG100 only supports MP3 and WMA (DRM) audio formats but is complemented by 7 equalizer presets and a 5-band graphic equalizer. A quick voice recording function is activated by voice and FM radio recording is also possible. Inside the brushed aluminium case, a 400mAh battery enables 20 hours of audio and 6 hours of video playback.

This MP3 player really lags when switching between songs or applications....I would not recommend it for someone who likes to skip around a lot, like myself. I got so frustrated I had to return it.

Simon on February 23, 2008 1:28 PM

I have a problem, it went from 4 gb to 2 gb when I download the new firmwar. Can somebody help me?

MPIO has really gone down with their build quality, I just bought this one, and compare to my old mpio fy100, it's totally rubbish, loose buttons, non-solid feeling, and horrible charging indicator that doesn't even work, and u can only charge it on your computer.

Titash on March 10, 2008 2:35 PM

ok so i just got this player n umm i am so frustrated cuz i hav no idea how 2 import videos on this so can any1 help? plz?

Danny on April 1, 2008 8:32 PM

I bought my Mpio MG100 (4GB) a little while ago. I just put songs onto it yesterday. Well I went to add some more songs on to it today. And I disconnected it when it said it was safe to. And when I was on the main menu I clicked on "Music" and ALL my songs were GONE!! So I hooked it back up to the computer to put all the songs back on my Mp3, and it said that all those songs were already on the device.

This thing is a piece of shit and SO not worth the sale price of $50 Canadian.

Hey, I need help! My 4Gb version has downgraded to 2GB when I downloaded the new firmware. How do I return it to 4 GB?

li on November 20, 2008 4:25 AM

this is my 3rd replacement from bestbuy. brought it on march 2008 and there was a loose button after 2 weeks. after 6 months of usage, i notice the battery doesn't show it's done with charging even after 10 hours! then the sleep mode is malfunction. finally last month it died(no signal even plug into the usb port). Good that the manufacuture has an over the counter return policy with bestbuy for warranty. just charged the new one for 3 hours and it won't turn on! ahahah...frustrated...totally not worthy even it's $50 for 4G mp3 player...poor battery quality!

I have an mpIO MG100 4G. After updating the software by using the software update from mpIO website it is no more 4G. It is now only 2G. I would like to know how I could bring it back to 4G.

Thanks a lot.

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.
