Product Descriptionback to top »

Hot on the heels of the original Eco-Media player comes the Eco Media Player Spin. Building on the innovation of its dynamo driven predecessor, the Eco-Media Player Spin takes mobile media to a whole new level of sustainability.

To power the Eco-Media Player Spin, simply wind the integrated handle, and it will reward you with 24-bit Hi Fidelity playback of all the major music formats including Apple AAC, Microsoft WMA, mp3, and OGG Vorbis. Playlists can be organised by Favourites, Artists, Albums or Genre, and the device can even handle movie playback, supporting formats such as MP4 (H.264) and Windows WMV, for superb, glitch-free enjoyment of all those great music-videos and feature films.

Featuring 4gb of internal flash memory, the Spin can hold up to 2,000 songs - and if that's not enough, there's an SD card slot too, which can increase the capacity of the player by up to 4gb.

Want to keep up to date whilst on the move? The Spin even includes a quality stereo FM radio, and you can even record your favourite shows to enjoy later.

With built-in photo album support you can carry your cherished pictures around with you - and even set up a slide-show, featuring superb pan and zoom functionality.

With a built in ebook reader, long bus and train journeys will fly by, and you can even save a bookmark so you can pick up where you left off. If you prefer someone else to read for you, audio books are fully supported.

If all that wasn't enough, the Eco-Media Player Spin will even help you out if your mobile phone dies. Simply connect your phone using one of the attached connectors, and power it up using the Spin's hand-crank. A minute of winding should be just enough to make that vital call.

I decided to buy the Eco Media player because I was tired of my batteries running out on the bus and I haven't been disappointed with my purchase. I gave the player its initial 3 hour charge on the computer about 3 weeks ago and I haven't had to wind it yet! It has a great battery, great sound quality and I've used both a Mac and PC to load music onto it without any problems. The torch and loudspeakers are added bonuses. No one believes me when I tell them I have a wind-up mp3 player but when I show them it they're always really impressed. I would recommend it to anyone. More great work from Trevor Baylis!

Got mine yesterday quite impressed with it sound quality is good even through the external speaker my only gripe is you cant use the new shdc sd 4gb cards in it only the old type 4gb sd card (those old cards are hard to get hold of) hopefully they will bring out some firmware update in the future to change it? apart from that for i'll use my 2gb card in the slot for my movies

Q: I've heard this product comes in 4gb and 8gb capacities. Does this site sell the 8gb capacity? If so, how much? If not, do you know where I could find one? Thank you.

A: The internal memory capacity for the Eco Media Player Revolution is limited to 4GB. Although some information on the internet suggests that an 8GB version is available, the manufacturers decided not to produce this model as they were able to keep manufacturing costs (and therefore sale costs) down by only producing the one model. Instead you can bump up the memory of your Eco Media Player Revolution with an external SD card - this gadget is now capable of supporting a 16GB SD card, which would give you an ample 20GB to play with. Hope this helps, Jo.
