>> Hey, I'm Don Bell, senior editor for digital audio and MP3. And today we're taking a first look at the Trevor Balis Ecomedia Player. It is a $350 MP3 player that also does video, FM, line in recording, voice recording, photo viewer, and it even has a flash light. The reason it is $350 is because it is a wind-up -- MP3 player. So this is a device that's really geared towards people who are going extreme camping or for people who really want to prepare for the apocalypse. Aside from the nifty of being able to charge your MP3 player using the hand crank, it's really not the most advanced MP3 player we've come across. The interface is a little clunky, the buttons aren't very responsive, the screen is a little dim, it's a 1.8 inch screen that is, you know, crisp, but still the dimness really is a drawback. The rated battery life for the Ecomedia Player is about 20 hours of audio playback. That's going to be off of a full charge that you can either get by cranking it, or you can also charge the Ecomedia Player off of the built-in USB connection. And it comes with cell phone charger adapters that you can plug into the USB port. So the Ecomedia Player only comes with 2 gigabytes of built in memory, which for $350 is not a great deal. The good news is that there is an SD card slot on the side so that you can bring your own memory on SD cards, load up SD cards with music and movies and all that stuff, and bring it with you. I'm Don Bell, and that was a first look at the Trevor Balis Ecomedia Player ^M00:01:33 [ Music ]

Normally it's a great honour if a big pop band like Franz Ferdinand asks an underground producer to remix a song. If then also Royskopp, Yello, Annie, Mylo and even Roxy Music call the guy and ask for a mix you can be quite sure that the producer must be more than just one of the many new one hit club wonders. And if next this artists starts to record his solo album and people like Soulwax, The Rapture and Radio 4 want to sing on it, it's not unlikely that there is something special going on. All this is happening to Swiss born, but Berlin-based disco producer, DJ and painter Robi Insinna aka Headman. You can easily call Robi one of the leading figures of the new disco movement. His first HEADMAN album "It Rough" was released back in 2003 on the small German label Gomma and set new standards in club circles. It was immediately nominated album of the month" in Jockey Slut Magazine/ UK and called one of the most important and innovative albums of the year by DJ?s such as Trevor Jackson, Ivan Smagghe or even Hell. The title track (with a Chicken Lips re-work on the 12") caused a huge fuss in clubs around the world. Since then he has been building up a worldwide underground reputation as remixer, producer and DJ regularly playing hot clubs like Bugged out or Optimo in the UK as well as Tribeca in New York and FUN in Berlin. This year he even has been invited to play at occasions like the MTV music awards aftershow party in Lissabon or the famous Colette Shop Parties in Paris. He also is currently travelling with SOULWAX as Tour DJ all over Europe. Besides the records on his main label Gomma, Headman has also recently been asked to publish a single on London's Output records. He also started an own little inprint (Relish records) and from time to time he puts out records under his moniker Manhead. But his main project is the HEADMAN music: The Headman style is a very special version of (balearic) Disco, combining the organic sound of 70ies Leftfield Disco and Rock with the energy of 90ies house. The new album includes songs Robi recorded with Stephen Dewaele from Soulwax/2many DJs (he performed on the first single ROH), Matt Safer from The Rapture, Anthony from Radio 4 and Erol Alkan from London?s TRASH Club. The remix for the first single ROH was done by Trevor Jackson aka Playgroup. The second single MOISTURE includes two club mixes by Robi himself and the kicking MUSTAPHA 3000 remix. Robi`s projects are especially notable for their artwork. He studied painting at the famous Brera Art academy in Milan/ Italy and starts to get known also for his big Head paintings. (The ON album will include a 16 page booklet showing paintings made for every song on this CD) For more information for Insinna?s paintings please check out www.relishrecords.com/art (www.headman.org)

Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player Review
The good: The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player is a wind-up MP3 player that features video playback, a photo viewer, an FM radio, a voice recorder, a line input recorder, a text reader, expandable memory, and a flashlight. You can even use it to charge your cell phone.
The bad: The Eco Media Player is bulky, expensive, and includes only 2GB of storage. The music player does not support DRM-protected music, or ID3 tag sorting. Video playback is dim, and the screen is relatively small.
The bottom line: The Eco Media Player may be overkill for recreational camping, but it's a perfect boredom-buster for globe trekkers, extreme outdoorsman, or MacGyver.
