My New Music Player

First of all sorry for my bad grammar. I’m too pissed off to care

I’ve owned only 2 mp3 players in my whole life and the combined storage capacity of those did not exceed  10% of the size of my music collection at any given time which is rather scary and sad at the same time Anyway since my 1st mp3 player which was a cheap Chinese player with 256mb (Yes ! 256mb you read it correct !) was not even remotely enough to contain enough music to entertain me in long trips, i finally managed to get me self a new player.

The old one. Notice how the screen is smashed in…

So I finally found a very cheap 2Gb ipod shuffle/nano knockoff for 1000 Rs. and bought it. I thought then that I could finally get a decent amount of songs that could last for awhile into this player. But then again, everything I think could happen never happens in that way and this was not an exception.

The New player.. Notice the ‘craftsmanship’.

See the 2gb label.

Today i tried to copy 1.45 gbs of songs into it. It copied perfectly until it hit the 1gb mark. From that point onwards any file copied into it wouldn’t play properly eventhough it showed in the computer that it had copied. Now after several fustrating minutes of research i found out that these fucking manufactureres use something called a memory hack to trick the computer into showing that the player had more memory than what is actually there. So actually in this 2gb player there was only 1gb available. It seems that this is a widespread problem and also a widespread practice (obviously).

So guys, when you are buying cheap knockoff music players beware. And here is a useful link if you too were duped.
