Description
For auction : Odyssey 1000 MP3 Jukebox
Page of Pictures
I've owned this player for a month, it is still in like-new condition. Always handled with care and it works perfectly. e.Digital (www.eDig.com) has been sold out for a month now. This is one of the best digital audio players that money can buy. Compare everything that the Odyssey can do next to an iPod that costs hundreds of dollars more.

Why I am selling my shiney Odyssey 1000 :
1) Firmware bugs became too annoying ("back" button not working after you select a song, no backlight when using Radio, VBR files cause track time to go crazy, "Line Out" isn't an unamped signal, delays between songs, lockups/reboots, etc etc)
2) no capability for remote, crappy case, no ID3 tag support, no search function, 13-15 seconds to boot up, scroller isn't speed-sensitive, VoiceNav functionality so limited that its worthless, big unattractive screws on side of player, Music Explorer software sucks, etc etc...
3) Music navigation is just too basic. If I want to look through "folders" I'd just use my PC and "File Explorer"
4) better players with more features due out in the next 2 months from iRiver, Samsung, RCA, Bantam, etc (see www.dapReview.com)
5) e.Digital will probably go out of business (according to the facts -income vs. expenditures- and thier own SEC filings), being then unable to honor warantee, update firmware, or replace batteries
6) Odyssey's price/performance is poor compared to Zen or iPod. The Zen, also using a 2.5" laptop drive, is the same size but with superior functionality for $100 less. The iPod, using the a top of the line 1.8" drive (more expensive), is 30% smaller and has a powerful music database, easily worth $100 more
7) Where is the Customer support? 6 weeks of not selling any Odysseys yet still not able to release firmware fixes? What are they doing over there?
Any questions?
