Despite a few drawbacks the Intel Personal Audio Player 3000 is definitely one of the most complete digital players available today at this range of price. If the standard 64 MB memory is quite limited for intensive users, the fact it can be upgraded using MMC cards is a pledge of longevity and upgradeability for virtually unlimited listening. Versatile, the unit can playback both MP3 & WMA files making it compatible with almost every audio file around the corner. But the best thing is obviously the small design and the incredible sound the unit delivers. Who would have believed, a few years ago, that a music player smaller than a pack of cigarettes would be able to deliver such an astonishing, dynamic sound? The provided MusicMatch Jukebox 6 software with lifetime upgrades is a great addition to the kit. The Intel Personal audio Player 3000 surely rocks and you’ll rock too with it.
