The V Plus doesn’t allow drag and drop, so you will have to use the MediaSource 5 software. The software manages all the media files, and transferring takes as fast as copying the files would take. But the player could have done well without this compulsion. Apart from the MediaSource 5, you can also use Windows Media Player 10 or Winamp to transfer files.
FM works well indoors, although while traveling in the train I lost transmission continually. Also I have to mention that the player doesn’t support FM recording, which some may find inconvenient.
Voice recording is very efficient, and what I like about the player is the option to use the line-in to attach a mic and record. Awesome! This comes in handy if you have a guitar (like I do) and want to record something that you just made off your top. It saves all the recorded files in 16kHz mono WAV format. You can also select a portion of the 1GB space as a storage device.
You can also view videos and photos with the player, although its not something that the player is cut out for. It makes use of the Motion JPEG Video Codec to play videos, which means all the files that you convert into this format are blown to an exponential size. Also the 128x128 pixels OLED screen makes viewing videos and photos a little painful.
Battery / Conclusion
The battery life is said to be around 15 hours on the box, but I got just 10. This included a lot of screen usage. Ten hours according to me is decent. It used the Mini USB 2.0 cable to charge the player.
The player costs Rs 5,500. I like the size of the player, although I don’t like the finish. Also it does what it is meant to do well enough — playing music. My main complaint still is that the player isn’t loud enough. This alone is one of the reasons why I will not opt for it, but for people who stay or travel to/through a quieter side of town would not mind this compromise. If you are okay with this, go for it.
MTP is media transfer protocol which will b there if you use the original XP OS. with MTP your player works like any other removable media into which you can drag and drop and browse through the contents.
