b) USB: If you are using a Mac /Linux computer, or you want to create specific folders on your PC for each of your media files (Music, Video, Photo, E-book), you'll need to select the USB (WMA-DRM10 NOT supported) Media Transfer Mode to transfer multimedia files to your player.

Techtree is on the ball with this one. I have the Transcend T610 (2GB) with EP630s but this model looks much more promising. Video playback too! Good effort by Transcend..

Ms. Bajaj. This piece of writing is pretty decent. It is a great improvement over the last semi-abstract attempt to show-off language skills that fell flat.

If you want to listen to music on this, better buy any Iriver player (even if it is 256 MB) for the same price. You would not mind changing the songs every now and then but you will definetly enjoy the quality of sound.
