“Awesome sound quality when paired up with good...”

★★★★☆

written by on 09/03/2009

Awesome sound quality when paired up with good ear-buds - more than makes up for the very annoying bad points!! I've had reinstall the firmware pretty much every month since I bought it, because the damn thing keeps losing my music. It also has no fast-forward feature (but you can skip tracks) Packard Bell AudioDream sounds so good I can manage to see the past it's massive flaws. Maybe that says more about me than the mp3 player itself. Sounds great - but you will have to invest in some decent cans.

I understand that some of the earlier Packard Bell AudioDream MP3 models may have experienced problems however I downloaded the patches (from the packard bell web site ) straight away and have never experienced such problems.
I would recommend this mp3 player to anybody!

“The Packard Bell AudioDream MP3 player is an utterly...”

★★★★★

written by LonesomeTwin on 02/10/2005

The Packard Bell AudioDream MP3 player is an utterly gorgeous device. It has a great 'metal' look and feel, and the tiny screen is beautifully clear, also the sound quality is superb. I got it for a friend, so I didn't use the supplied headphones, but on standard dynamic units the volume is fine at about half-setting.

Apparently there are software issues with early ones, and you need to do a firmware update when you get it out of the box, but this done, it goes flawlessly. The manual is total rubbish of course.

Navigation is a bit tricky, and I can't see why it shouldn't start up where you left it, but this is my first experience of the things, so they might all be like that.

Again, why can't you sort tracks by ID3 tag? Getting a whole album to play in order on one of these things is really tricky. Tip: Use one folder per album, then use [track number - title], I had to do a lot of renaming when loading the tracks, and you need to be PC literate to do it quickly. Try a search for ID3-TagIT.

Battery life was about 8 hours on my 1GB model, and yes, AAA batteries would be more useful, although they would make this tiny little thing quite a bit bigger.

Well pleased with it though.

★★★★☆

written by ZJFarmer on 02/10/2005

I have found the Packard Bell AudioDream MP3 player to be a very functional MP3 player due to its size and weight. It is easy to keep on your person whilst doing tasks such as going out. I haven't found a problem with the sound on it. The only problem for me is the colour! Why can't I get a new flashy case for it (like green or others, as it shows on the box)? Overall I would rate it as a good MP3 player - if you look after it that is.

I have found this player to be excellent. I go mountain biking a lot, and it has stood up to the test really well. Great sound and easy navigation make this a fantastic little package
