Dell Pocket DJ (5 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Great size, sound quality, intuitive
Cons: No manual included (for me anyways), usb charging is flaky, no "extras"

The Dell Pocket DJ is Dell's recently released "almost in time for the holiday season" 5gb micro sized mp3 player, competing directly with the mini iPod, Rio Carbon, Zen Micro and a few others. I had recently purchased a Creative Labs Zen Micro ...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, 5 gig storage, Fairly intuitive interface, easy controls
Cons: Included music management software is awkward, hard to use and clunky

I was looking for something that offered the utility and ease of use of an iPod-Mini without the extra cost of the Apple name. I looked through several of the hard-disked based smaller MP3 players and after comparing prices and features, I settled on ...

Pros: Good small size and excellent sound
Cons: No instructional manual included for installation or usage and existing computer knowledge is needed

While it may surprise many people, I am far from an audiophile. Yes, I love music, but I don’t find it necessary to have the top of the line equipment to listen to my cds. I have a solid Techniques sound system while slightly old; can still crank out ...

Pros: Good user interface, cheaper that most competitors, lots of disk space. Battery life.
Cons: poor included ear-buds, no FM tuner, documentation.

For Christmas, I purchased the new Dell “Pocket DJ” as one gift for my wife. In advance of the purchase I looked closely at the Apple Mini iPod and had an opportunity to play with one for 3 days that belonged to a friend. Having converted ...

Pros: Mature looking, more gb than mini ipod, feels good and sturdy, anyone can operate it!
Cons: Can't charge/transfer simultaneously. +10hr battery would be nice. No shell color choice like ipod

I've been contemplating on a large capacity MP3 player for awhile now. I didn't wanna support the overpriced Ipod and yet I didn't want to buy the Dell DJ without first being able to play with it. I ended up getting satellite radio for my car ...

Pros: Souns good, looks good, easy to operate. Plays both WMA ad MP3 files.
Cons: No cool accessories like the iPod.

I bought 2 of the 5 GB Dell Pocket DJ MP3 players last Christmas, one for me and one for my girlfriend. I bought them about a month before, so I used mine (in secret of course, heh) for about a month before she got hers. I was torn between the iPod and ...

Pros: Nice size, shape and case
Cons: It doesn't work and the customer service will not help at all.

It was a sham - being sold something that didn't work and then not being able to address the problem. My girlfriend bought the Dell Pocket DJ and has had NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. In fact, she has given up on it and I have been with her from start to finish ...

Pros: Gives Apple a little competition to their iPods, good sound, lightweight
Cons: scratches easily, sometimes locks up, software is hard to install

I originally bought my Pocket DJ largely because of my dislike of Mac computers which are made by Apples. Also, with my desktop being a Dell, I thought that the Pocket DJ would be more compatible with it. Even though I did own a Dell desktop, loading ...

Pros: Small, Lightweight, affordable, more memory than iPod Mini
Cons: The only con is that this player is not as sleek as a iPod Mini

Well, it was almost new years, and wanted to get a present to give to someone. I looked at the Ipod, and was originally looking to buy a 15GB iPod, but I was dissapointed to see that it was phased out. It's a bit expensive to go to 299 to buy the 20GB ...

Pros: Great Storage Capacity, Good Sound
Cons: No extras, Not Easy to Use Software

This MP3 device was given to me for free because I purchased a laptop from DELL. I am just glad that I didn’t buy this on my own. My summary for the device? Don't Bother to buy it. Only two good things: Sound and Capacity. Not good for ...

Pros: Looks good, works great for a week.
Cons: Faulty, unreliable, Bad Customer Service.

Avoid the Dell Pocket DJ like the plague. It works only intermittently. Sometimes I turn it on and only get a message that reads "unable to verify license" and it won't play my music, even the songs that I transferred from cd's that I purchased! When it ...

Pros: Reliability, size, capacity and great service from Dell.
Cons: Size of the display, color of the display, thumb wheel.

Dell has done a great job of making a very small mp3 player, but the size of the unit has some draw backs. Before getting into that, I would like to say that I purchased one of the 15 gig DJ's and have been very happy with it. The sound quality is ...

Pros: Easy to use, small, looks nice, durable, for music fans basic needs
Cons: Software a pain to use, defective volume button, no extra features, scroll barrel

Well I've had this MP3 for about 8-9 months now. If you just want to listen to music, this is your MP3. If not, well look else were. You can make playlist on the go easily. It has great sound quality. Downloading music is very easy and fast. Dell's DJ ...

Pros: Display easy to use, USB works well, good audio
Cons: SOFTWARE. Customer service stinks.

I did not want to get an iPod, so when I learned Dell had a 5GB mp3 player I went with it, thinking that my positive experiences with Dell computers would translate into a positive experience with the Pocket DJ. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The ...

Pros: When it works, it's easy to use.
Cons: It doesn't work.

I am about to return my Dell Pocket DJ for the second time. Two times now I have taken the unit outside in less then 60-degree weather, and both times it stopped working. Not sure if the temp was the issue, or something else. Dell does not want to ...
