Digisette DUO-64 MP3 Player Review - PAGE 1
Patrick Woo - Wednesday, December 19th, 2001


To most, being “two-faced” is an undesirable trait to have. However, in the Digisette Duo-64’s case, it is more than a welcomed attribute. The Duo-64 functions both as a personal MP3 player and a self-contained MP3 cassette adapter – all in one. In addition to its versatility, the Duo-64 is very light, attractive, holds 64 MB of flash memory and generates good music quality. Also, it is easy to use, contains many extras and is upgradeable for future music formats. On the down side, the Duo-64 transfers files very slowly. Also, it lacks a number of attributes that many other MP3 players have as standard, such as a LCD screen, equalizer and multiple play modes. However, if these seem like minor concerns and if you enjoy the savings the Duo-64 provides over buying both a personal MP3 player and a MP3 car stereo, then the Duo-64 definitively deserves a careful consideration.
