Here we have a closer look on the language menu and as we can see it has a few things to choose from. On the right we have the display menu where you can set the contrast and how long it should take for the screen to power off for example.

Finally we decided to try the radio and I have to say that the radio is a bit weak since we had to stand outside for the station to be clear and as soon as we went inside we almost lost it completely.
Battery/Usage:
This player has a built in battery which charges through the USB port when it’s connected to the computer. The specifications says that the usage time is 18 hours and those numbers are almost accurate after some testing. The player is very nice to use as it’s so small so it almost dissapears in your pocket.
Sound/Radio quality:br>
The sound quality on the Mp130 is alot better than its older brother Mp110. We tested the equalizer settings and I personally prefer the “rock” setting which sounds very good with my Shure Ec2 earphones. We tested normal mp3�s with different bitrates but we did not try any OGG Vorbis songs as this player supports. Radio is not very good with this player as said before since we cannot get a good station inside a apartment building but as soon as we go out on a balkony we get perfect sound.
Conclusion:
This player is available up to 512mb which is more than enough for most people. You get nice features are voice recorder, OGG, radio and OLED display for example. The menus are very easy to use even though they lack of sufficient documentation. The menus are easy to learn though, however a menu would be very nice. Sizewise this is a very nice player since the USB connector is hidden and the battery is a built in one. It’s very compact and thin and fits basically anywhere so for people that want a small player this might be something for you. Accessory wise it’s ok, but I have to say I’m missing a better pair of earphones and a case for the player. Otherwise you have everything you need, even a line-in cable is supplied with it. All in all we give this 4 out of 5 for a great player that is easy to use and is very very tiny but still comes with most features that you need.
