5 Reviews for AIGO UM-A203 512MB MP3 Player - Black
Its cheap - 29 Sep 2006

Considerably cheaper than any of its rivals but it lacks some basic features that would have made it far better. Its quite bulky and the buttons are a bit plasticky and fiddly to use. Trying to skip tracks, for example, seems to either start fast forwarding the one you are currently listening to or jump you on several further than you wanted to go. The biggest problem I have, though, is the way it orders the playlist. There is no user playlist facility so your stuck with its alpha numeric sorting. Along with the fact it doesn't support folders, this leads to the user having to manufacture a very specific naming convention if you want your tracks in the right order. Most players of this type sort by time uploaded which is fine when using the reccomended Microsoft media player to upload files, its surprising, therefore, that this player doesn't.
Still, the sound quality is ok, it's fairly light and it comes with a useful USB extension. So cheap, a bit tacky, but (once you've renamed your files) it does the job.

I thought I would write a quick review.
I bought two A203's one for myself and one for my girlfriend (in black & pink).
I also bought some nice head phones.
The sound quality is perfect especially when transffering my CD quality files.
Have had it for about 3mths both working just fine.
Contemplating buying another two for my family for Christmas.
Nice work Aigo..
Regards,
Neil
Great for two months then now zip nada no music - 05 Jun 2006

Had it working fantastic for 2 months then the problems started. First it kept on rebooting itself while on normal play mode and without any jarring movements. Was very annoying and the frequency increased from once every 3 hours to every 10 mins.
Then I accidently copied my Placebo cd onto it without realizing it was copy-protected and then the MP3 player just went berserk after that. Refuses to play music but still able to access the files. Tried looking for the software so I could reinstall it but no luck so far.
With the various MP3 players out there, I'd say give this a miss and spend your money on a more reliable one. Plus, it only allows you to hook things to the ring attached to one end but doesn't allow you to hook it only your jeans/track suit etc.
Hopefully, my next player will last longer than this one did.
Cheap price tag but not sure about quality - 16 May 2006

I have had this MP3 player for about 3 months now and whilst things started smoothly it's turned into a disaster. The device is fine to use if you are sitting still and not moving (i.e. at a desk or on a train). However the minute you start moving it randomly cuts out and is incredibly infuriating, especially due to the basic track selection process. I had purchased this in order to listen to music when running but no chance! I spend more time faffing about with the player than actually running so am trading it in for something more robust. I have tried pushing the headphone jack in further as suggested by another reviewer but that's not the fault.
It's easy to transfer music onto, has good sound quality and the battery charge lasts OK. But make sure you're only using it sitting down!
Great purchase, value for money - 01 Apr 2006

First of all, the guy who wrote a review named 'Dodgy' said that the player cuts out when the headphone connector is moved. No, this isn't true. I thought I had the same problem, till I found that if you push the headphone plug into the jack a bit harder it clicks in firmly.
Anyway onto the actual product. The instruction manual knocks it down from 5 stars to 4 because of the one fact that it only applies to Windows XP on the default settings; if you've changed any settings then some parts of the instructions don't work. My brother told me not to use the recommended Windows Media Player to transfer CD files to the player, because it is incredibly slow. It takes 20 minutes to transfer a 3 minute track on that. So he told me to use AudioGrabber, which can be downloaded off the web. Anyway this is much quicker, and easier to use as a whole. It names the tracks for you as they should be, rather than you having to type in all the track names etc.
The player is of excellent sound quality, considering its cheap price tag. It's smart and user-friendly and discreet; all you need in an Mp3 player. It holds up to 120 tracks apparently, but mine currently holds 180 so maybe this is just for huge 5MB songs. Most of my songs are around 2MB each, so with a 512MB mp3 player that calculates to 250 tracks. Not bad for £32.99.
I'm delighted with my purchase and if you are looking for a cheap, reliable, quality Mp3 player, look no further.
