Toshiba’s gigabeat U202 supports direct-to-MP3 ripping

Filed under: Portable Audio

If you passed on Toshiba’s first few U-series DAPs due to their lively color schemes and substitutable feature sets, the new 2GB U202 goes a long ways to correct both of those quibbles. The exceedingly simplistic device dons a silver / black motif, an uncomplicated “PlusPad” control scheme, and a 1.1-inch color OLED display. Furthermore, this unit sports the same 20-hour battery life, FM tuner, and MP3 / WMA / WAV playback capabilities as its predecessor, but the newfangled direct-to-MP3 CD ripping ability enables users to “record audio tracks digitally from a CD player directly to the gigabeat.” Consider it yours in one to two weeks for $99.99.
