			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days it seems that every electronics manufacturer is offering a portable media player of some kind.  Of course, the more popular units are the iPod made by Apple.  But one of the things that the iPod lacks is the connectivity offered by the extensive suite of Microsoft software and hardware products.  That is where the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> Portable Media Player comes in, and it can offer something that no other media player can offer.  The Microsoft Portable Media Player offers the easy internet connectivity, and operating software, that you have come to know and understand for years offered by Microsoft.</p>
<div id="attachment_188" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-188" title="Microsoft Zune 120gb players" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/microsoft-zune-120gb.jpg" alt="Microsoft Zune 120gb players" width="500" height="250" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Microsoft Zune 120gb players</p></div>
<p>Portable entertainment units, also known as portable media players, are becoming extremely popular.  Apple has taken a front position when it comes to the portable technology, as their iPod and iPhone products allow people to take their multimedia files with them wherever they go.  But there is a limit to the functionality of those <a href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank">Apple</a> devices, and the limit is caused by their software.  The software used on most portable media players is difficult to learn, and it can also cause serious limitations on the unit as far as functionality goes.  Many of the portable media players available today offer limited functionality when it comes to word processing applications, email programs, and scheduling functions.  But with the Microsoft Portable Media Player, you get the power of the Microsoft suite of software products to help you get past the short-comings of every other portable media player on the market.</p>
<div id="attachment_185" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-185" title="Microsoft Zune Halo3 Edition" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/microsoft-zune-halo3.jpg" alt="Microsoft Zune Halo3 Edition" width="500" height="500" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Microsoft Zune Halo3 Edition</p></div>
<p>With the Microsoft Portable Media Player you can easily access the internet, and have full functionality using Internet Explorer.  The Microsoft PMP also uses a powerful version of the Windows XP or Vista operating systems, and that offers you more flexibility when it comes to the applications you use the most. You are not limited in your email functionality, you are not going to experience issues with creating documents, and you will be able to utilize the internet to its fullest extent.</p>
<p><span id="more-184"></span></p>
<p>The Microsoft software found on the Microsoft Portable Media Player also offers powerful versions of the Microsoft Windows Media player that can help you effectively organize your music and media files, and play them whenever you want.  You have the same power to create and modify play lists as you do on a standard Microsoft-driven computer, and you have all of that functionality in the palm of your hands.</p>
<div id="attachment_186" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-186" title="Microsoft Zune PMP" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/microsoft-zune-pmp.jpg" alt="Microsoft Zune PMP" width="500" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Microsoft Zune PMP</p></div>
<p>The increased internet functionality of the Microsoft Portable Media Player also allows you to enjoy shopping on the internet, and it can also offer you a level of internet protection unparalleled by any other portable media player.  If you are going to be passing important information through your media player then you want to know that it is safe, with the years of experience Microsoft has in internet security you know the information on your Microsoft Portable Media Player is very safe.</p>
<div id="attachment_187" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-187" title="Microsoft Zune Belkin Armbands" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/microsoft-zune-armbands.jpg" alt="Microsoft Zune Belkin Armbands" width="500" height="350" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Microsoft Zune Belkin Armbands</p></div>
<p>You can synchronize your Microsoft Portable Media Player to your home computer, and you can also customize the look of your Microsoft Portable Player in many different ways.  The Microsoft PMP allows you to carry around your entire music catalog, or you can choose to listen to internet radio using the Microsoft Player’s internet functionality.  Whatever you are used to doing with your home computer, you can now do with your Microsoft Portable Player.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On one side the machines are getting advanced day by day and on the other side the data files are being modified too. The new data file extensions are a way to minimize large amount of information into small spaces giving more room to all sorts of data files. At first we had different file extensions for video and audio files but mp4 extension solved this segregation. Now mp4 format is being used in all kinds of electronic gadgets supporting audio and video display compressing the file letting it take less space in your hard drive and allowing more wiggle room to more mp4 extension files.</p>
<div id="attachment_151" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 516px"><img class="size-full wp-image-151" title="iLuv i1255 iPod Dock Station" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/iluv-i1255-ipod-dock.jpg" alt="iLuv i1255 iPod Dock Station" width="506" height="309" /><p class="wp-caption-text">iLuv i1255 iPod Dock Station</p></div>
<p>When digital audio and video was new to the market, file extensions for both of them were different that took more space in a hard drive. Later when gadgets became smaller and storage space became larger, the need was felt to minimize the storage space of files especially digital audio and digital video without compromising their quality. That is when mp4 format kicked in allowing audio and video files to be played with this single format which compresses each file leaving extra space rather than taking it. The mp4 format is similar to Apple’s QuickTime format which supports multimedia files. The only difference between QuickTime and MP4 format is that MP4 format supports QuickTime as well as MPEG file extensions.</p>
<p>As mp4 file extensions take less space in your storage capacity, therefore people felt the urge to convert other file extensions like mp3, AVI, WMV, RM, WAV, MPEG and other digital audio and video file formats into mp4. That is when multiple converter software for mp4 formats was in demand and being downloaded frequently. Apart of their compressing quality, mp4 format files are now being supported by every new electronic gadgets and cell phones in the shops including iPod, Sony Ericsson, Sony Walkman, Wii, Samsung SGH ULTRA Series, iPhone, Blackberry, Xbox 360, Nokia N series, Play Station 3, Zune and many more. The softwares that already support mp4 formats are winamp, iTunes, jetAudio, Media Player Classic, Real Plyaer, QuickTime, VLC Media Player, <a href="http://www.zune.com/" target="_blank">Zune Marketplace</a>, Nero Burning ROM, 3ivx and some others.</p>
<p><span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p>The softwares listed above can be used to play digital audio and digital video files if they are already in mp4 format but what about those files those are in some different file extensions. Well converter softwares are the answer to your question. These softwares convert absolutely any file extensions into mp4 format without compromising their quality and making sure the files take less space than before. Now with the help of these converter softwares like MP4 Converter, Xilisoft, etc which is easily available on the internet converting any kind of file extensions proficiently into mp4 formats for all sorts of gadgets and cell phones. For your convenience these softwares are available for trial versions and then later can be purchased if they fulfill your requirement as mp4 converter software.</p>
<p>Search for a converter software for mp4 format now and enjoy digital audio and video with less storage space and great quality. Once tried these softwares you would not switch back to old file extensions as audio and video clarity is everything that matters these days. Other then all advantages of mp4 format some of the disadvantages of this file extension still stands including piracy and licensing problems that are now greater in mp4 than mp3 due to their recognition. Observation also tells that the file size of mp4 is small but still it somehow takes more time to download even using a broadband connection.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past, iLuv has made some speaker docks that underwhelmed PC Magazine – most notably last year&#8217;s <a href="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/iluv-i199-ipod-speaker-system/">iLuv i199</a>, which was a victim of trying to do too many things at once.</p>
<div id="attachment_167" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-167" title="iLuv i1255 iPod Dock DVD Player" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/iluv-i1255.jpg" alt="iLuv i1255 iPod Dock DVD Player" width="500" height="476" /><p class="wp-caption-text">iLuv i1255 iPod Dock DVD Player</p></div>
<p>he new line from iLuv, though still feature-heavy, seems to be focused on simplifying the docks a bit. The i1255 is dubbed a &#8220;desktop iPod/DVD player&#8221; by the company, and it outputs 5.1 audio from its thin-frame dock. The DVD player also plays CDs, MP3 CDs, as well as JPEG and Kodak picture CDs. The iPod dock is compatible with the new generation of iPods released back in September.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TOeKpvl0ugM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TOeKpvl0ugM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>There are no speakers included, so consumers should think of this as a DVD player that happens to have an iPod dock integrated. The $150 i1255 will hit stores in March.</p>
<div id="attachment_151" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 516px"><img class="size-full wp-image-151" title="iLuv i1255 iPod Dock Station" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/iluv-i1255-ipod-dock.jpg" alt="iLuv i1255 iPod Dock Station" width="506" height="309" /><p class="wp-caption-text">iLuv i1255 iPod Dock Station</p></div>
<p>The i399, available this month, is a Bluetooth-enabled 2.1 speaker dock for iPods. Using the included &#8220;BluePin II&#8221;, a detachable Bluetooth transmitter, users have the ability to stream music from an iPod docked in the i399 to a pair of Bluetooth headphones, or send music from, say, a Bluetooth phone to the i399&#8242;s speakers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Packard Bell, one of the leading consumer electronics brands in Europe, today expanded its line-up of MP3 players with the Eclipse portable media player.</p>
<div id="attachment_161" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-161" title="Packard Bell Eclipse PMP" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/packard-bell-eclipse-pmp.jpg" alt="Packard Bell Eclipse PMP" width="500" height="469" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Packard Bell Eclipse PMP</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s not that the iLuv i199 iPod Speaker System doesn&#8217;t work, it simply tries to do too much. The result is a frustrating user experience exacerbated by a clunky remote and unintuitive controls. Sure, it has two programmable alarms that can use your Apple iPod. It can also play MP3s directly off a USB thumb drive. It plays your CDs (including data CDs), too, and it has a radio tuner. The speaker is even Bluetooth-capable. Trying to navigate these features via the remote, however, is a lost cause. That&#8217;s because the membrane buttons rarely work, and it is often hard to figure out what button is in charge of a specific function. In short, there are plenty of iPod docks available that are much better, even if they have fewer features.</p>
<div id="attachment_165" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-165" title="iLuv i199 iPod Dock" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/iluv-i199-system.jpg" alt="iLuv i199 iPod Dock" width="500" height="380" /><p class="wp-caption-text">iLuv i199 iPod Dock</p></div>
<p>The iLuv i199 has a striking, polished black contour, but it is probably too bulky to win any design awards. At roughly 15 by 7.8 by 5 inches and with a substantial weight, you&#8217;ll need a sturdy bookshelf or a lot of space on your desktop for this one. iLuv also covers the i199 in stickers that are hard to peel off. I sincerely hope that my review unit is an anomaly. If not, be prepared for &#8220;sticker shock&#8221;—and to use Goo Gone to get rid of it all.</p>
<div id="attachment_159" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-159" title="New iLuv i199 iPod Speaker System" src="http://www.compactmediaplayers.com/wp-content/uploads/new-iluv-i199-ipod-dock.jpg" alt="New iLuv i199 iPod Speaker System" width="500" height="321" /><p class="wp-caption-text">New iLuv i199 iPod Speaker System</p></div>
<p>The front face of the i199 has a 5- by 1-inch LCD display with a CD slot below it. This LCD displays the time and date, as well as whatever information it can about the music or radio station you&#8217;re listening to. Sometimes this means artist name and song title, other times you get only a track number and countdown clock. Most of the controls are on the top of the device. Open the lid to reveal the iPod dock, USB drive dock, and the BluePin connection (BluePin is the company&#8217;s proprietary Bluetooth technology).</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>Below them are buttons controlling the alarm, time, radio, memory (not internal memory—this is for programming CD tracks), play mode, sleep, and the vaguely titled yet most important button on the device: Function. Below these sits another row of buttons: Wake To (your alarm settings), Snooze/Dimmer, and Alarm Off (which is also the power button). On either side are circular buttons that on the left control skipping, play/pause, stop, and presets and on the right control volume. The rear panel has, from left to right, FM Antenna, Aux in, AM antenna, and iPod A/V Out. The dock comes with an FM antenna, an AM antenna, a lousy remote, a 3.5mm-to-RCA A/V cable, a 3.5mm stereo-out cable, iPod dock adapters, and a fairly thorough manual.</p>
<p>The i199 does pack fairly powerful speakers that can get quite loud without distorting much. The overall sound quality is pretty good, with crisp mids and highs. There is not much bass presence, but the low end is not sorely absent, as it is on, say, the Eos Wireless speakers. The bottom line is, however, the speakers don&#8217;t blow me away. If they did, many of the unit&#8217;s design flaws could be forgiven.</p>
