Sumvision MP3 Player & SD Card Reader
If you are looking for a cheap, durable MP3 player then this Sumvision Mp3 player and card reader is the one for you. These are available for under £10. If you have a spare SD/MMC card lying around then it is well worth the investment. This Mp3 player is especially good if you already have a device such as a PDA, smart phone or digital camera. The dimensions of the SumVision are 58mm x 58mm x 14 mm and it weighs only 32 grams.
Since the Mp3 player does not rely on a hard drive for storage as it it is all stored on the SD card, the battery life is excellent and the device runs off a single AAA battery. It makes it easy to take a library of music with you while you are out jogging or walking the dog. You may want to invest in some decent headphones though as they won’t be very comfortable, especially if you are used to a better quality manufacturer.
To get your Mp3 tracks onto the device couldn’t be easier. It can connect to your PC with a USB cable and you can from there drag and drop your tracks onto your Mp3 player. Alternatively you can load the tracks onto your SD card. We would say good value for under a tenner, and the only negative thing we would have to say about this mp3 player is that the instructions were poor and even incorrect in some places.

I might just have to get one of these. What a bargain at for the price… where are they available at? I have a few SD cards kicking around so this sounds a great device.

I hope you understand it is ONLY a player. No funky features like artistic shuffle, it doesn’t even have an LCD screen as far as I understand.
Still I see it as a perfect solution - why use integrated memory when you can just swap the memory cards - therefore you have a literally unlimited storage.
A pitty it only runs on AAA batteries though - I’d prefer if it had a rechargable battery integrated.
I wonder where could I get this device?

Hi
For those wondering where you can get one of these from, the cheapest place we have found so far for it, is Ebuyer.

Does it shuffle the tracks? Or just plays them one after another?

I got one from ebuyer. I find it great out running, its really light and even the included headphones are not that bad. It does only play tracks in order. I’m sure that mine plays them in reverse order. No shuffle.
I change the order on the PC and copy them on in a new order now and again. Only takes a minute or two. The instructions don’t even tell you to hold the middle button in for a few seconds to start it up.
For under a tenner, bargain of the century.

I got mine from Scan, just a snip over £5. Great idea, yet simple. Instructions are comical. But over an hour and I still cant get it to play anythng. Maybe because Im using a 1gb MMC ? Anyway, if you dont have my problem, then you cant go wrong with this !

This is a brilliant MP3 player for the price. Okay, its basically a very no frills player - It just plays your tracks and thats it - however its ideal for me to use down the gym as its robust (ruberised). But, if you want decent sound, get a decent pair of headphones! - ive got some Sennheiser px200’s I use with it, and the sound is as good as my ipod with the same headphones.
Its cheap and cheerful, and does the job its meant to do - I use it with a spare 1gig SD card, for under a tenner its allot cheaper than buying a 1gig internal flash mp3 player, but don’t expect any frills with it - it plays the songs in there order and thats it!
