I used to hate flash memory players, but I’m coming around, and for one single reason: they’re a commodity now. Being cheap – this Rave-MP AMP 128 reviewed by PCWorld is only $100, and will go for even less soon – means that I can keep a flash player around as a backup to a hard-disk player, something to take out into the rain maybe or throw in a bag that’s going to get roughed around, and never give it a second thought. Plus 1GB SD cards a sickeningly cheap these days (sickening when you consider how much money you spent on flash memory in the past).
What sells the AMP 128 specifically, though? I dunno, really – the feature set on these things is almost exactly the same these days – but it does have that inverted-color display, which I saw in person a few weeks back, and is actually pretty cool.
