A Californian company called Entempo is market a young punishing disk - based player called the ‘ Spirit , ’ that sort of looks goofy ( and probably a bit big , if it utilize a 2.5 - in drive ) , but offers quite a bite of bang for the buck . For just $ 200 — and as low as $ 140 at some post online — you’re able to get a 20 GB player with a build - in FM tuner , USB 2.0 , 10 - 12 hour playback life , and voice transcription . None of those are awe-inspiring features by themselves , but if you could pick up a Spirit for less than $ 200 that ’s quite a deal . And really , if you think about it , there ’s no reason these players should be cost that much more than the price of the backbreaking drives themselves , these days , especially if they are n’t offering any software to go along with them . I ’m concerned to see where the good hard push player market goes — if they can get the price down , they could replace external grueling cause for many people , just as flash medicine players should ( and have , to some extent ) done for fanfare drive .
Interested enough , in fact , that I can probably forgive the name ‘ Entempo Spirit , ’ which sounds like the Science teacher ’ rock ‘ n ’ axial motion band that inspires middle school kids to make smart choice about drugs .
