JVC XA-MP101 & XA-MP51 MP3/WMA players Announced
Flash memory players include FM tuner and voice recorder
Two new matchbook-size digital audio players have been announced by JVC, one with 1 gigabytes (GB) of storage and another with a capacity of 512 megabytes. The two flash memory players each feature a built-in FM stereo tuner, voice recorder and a large backlit four-line dot matrix display.
The new JVC XA-MP101 (1GB) and XA-MP51 (512MB) support both MP3 and WMA (DRM) files. They connect to a PC using the players’ USB 2.0 port, and there is no software required – adding files is a simple drag-and-drop procedure.
Both players are truly pocket-size: each measures a mere two-inches square and weighs just 1.5 ounces with the single AAA battery installed. The XA-MP101 comes in black, while the XA-MP51 is available in blue or white.
JVC’s XA-MP101 and XA-MP51 will be available in July at nationally advertised values of $199.95 and $149.95.
In addition to the FM tuner and voice recorder, other features include FM stereo recording from the tuner, five preset equalization modes, playlist editing and bass boost. There is also a line-out jack for routing the sound through another music system, and a headphone jack. To ensure top-quality sound, both players use an 18-bit D/A (digital-to-analog) converter and the included headphones feature Neodymium drivers.

JVC XA-MP101 Reviews:
Infosyncworld.com Reviews the JVC XA-MP101 and they say -"The JVC XA-MP101 offers decent sound in an ultra-small casing, conveniently featuring a voice recorder and stereo FM radio in addition to its broad format support and 1 GB of internal flash memory. Its main drawback is the small display and steep price tag, with the player also exhibiting slow response times for certain functions during testing. Overall, the XA-MP101 comes recommended for those looking for a small yet capable audio player - and who won't mind purchasing an additional set of headphones."
