Being a senior member of society, I was intrigued to see the Trevor Bayliss name on this gadjet. I well remember him appearing on BBC’s Tomorrows World with his clockwork radio. It was on the strength of this I decided to treat myself and purchased this “eco media player” , (To give it it’s proper title). To say the least, I am amazed! Being quite computer literate, I was soon able to load a good chunk of my personnel music library. The quality of the sound is just incredible. Had anyone tried to convince me just how good it is, I would not have believed them. It was strange, when I first received this, I was somewhat impatient to “get it working” so to speak, then after about half an hour fiddling about, I realised this has no batteries, no mains, nothing! Of course this is what it’s all about, it’s sort of self powered by means of a crank handle on the back. It really works. Since then I have found that even the chore of winding can be dispensed with. There is a USB cable supplied which you can plug directly into your computer which will give you about eight hours continuance use. Well done Trevor, what’s next?
