zZounds' Take on Tascam MP-BT1

Manufacturer's Description for Tascam MPBT1 Portable MP3 Bass Trainer

Tascam's MP-BT1 is the first MP3 player designed for musicians. Based on the award-winning CD-BT1mkII, this fun mobile bass trainer includes enough memory to store up to 240 songs. Bass parts can be slowed down, looped and even eliminated to help you to learn new riffs. Play back MP3s using Variable Speed Audition, which slows down the speed without changing the pitch, and sections can be seamlessly looped while practicing tricky passages. Songs can even be pitched up or down to match the tuning of your bass, so you don't have to re- tune for every song.

The bass input lets you to rock along with multi-effects, including a bass canceler so you can play along with your favorite bands. A tuner, metronome, and built-in rechargeable battery are also built- in. All of this is packed into an MP3 player smaller than a stomp box, so stuff it in your backpack, gig bag or back pocket and hit the road.

The MP-BT1 uses a high-speed USB connection to load up MP3s and charge the built-in battery (an optional power supply is also available). Zip through your MP3 collection using a data wheel, dedicated buttons and a graphical LCD display. A rechargeable 9-hour lithium ion battery is built into the unit, and an optional power supply is also available.

Put 240 songs in your gig bag with the MP-BT1, the first MP3 player for musicians. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Tascam products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Makes Learning Bass Parts Extraordinarily Easy"

Sound: Sounds fine, but it does not crank out much volume. This is the reason that I did not rate this product higher. Feature: The unit does not come with an adapter, but it charges an internal lithium-ion cell that can easily be charged through the supplied USB cable using a computer. Ease of Use: Pretty easy to use but does take a bit of time to understand how to get to some buried features. Some items that would seem intuitively to be important enough to need easy access require a bit more digging through the interface (not a big gripe though). Quality: Seems well made. Has an aluminum body that should hold up well. I haven't dropped it (yet) so I am probably not the best judge of who well it is made. Value: Good value, in my opinion. Overall: This device makes learning bass parts easy. Looping through a troublesome section of a song is very helpful. It is a bit touchy about the type of MP3 that you can use. I did not have a problem with this but in reading reviews did notice that others did. 98 percent of my MP3s are recorded from my personal CDs at 160Kbps at 44.1KHz. It does not like variable bit rate files or 48KHz files. I was able to put about 220 song files on the device. All of these files have intriguing bass parts. I will probable never learn to play all of these songs, but they are handy if I want to try. Cool device!

Tascam MP-BT1 MP3 Trainer Customer Review

Feature: doesn't play half of my MP3s. I get an "Unsupported error" when I try to play the MP3. But these MP3s play on all other MP3 software/players on my computer.
