RCA Pearl MP3 Player |
RCA has a new line of MP3 players called the Pearl series that come in 256MB, 1GB or 2GB capacities and feature a different configuration than many of the latest MP3 players.
The Pearl MP3 player has a built-in USB connection which allows it to connect directly to your computer sans any cables, similar to a USB flash drive. All three players have a Micro SD card slot which will allow you to expand the memory to multiple Gigs even if you purchased the smallest capacity player. And like the retro-style direct USB connection, this player is not rechargeable and runs off of 1 AAA battery.
The RCA Pearl also has some more of the standard features found in portable MP3 players like direct voice recording, encoding directly to MP3, plays mp3, WMA, WMDRM-9 and Audible files, has a small LCD display can give up to 15 hours of playback on one battery. That LCD display even has 7 different backlight colors to choose from and give your player a slightly customized look.
The RCA Pearl players have the thrifty in mind and come with the first AAA battery with the 2GB model retailing for $48. The 1GB (pictured here) is expected to go for $39.

I have had my pearl for over a year now, and it still works great. Easy to load and delete even without the software. I lost my software shortly after getting the pearl and I still have updated music. I have no clue why it stopped working after three months for so many of you, but mine is still going good. And it has been through alot of things. I use to take it to work and forgot it in a freezer!!!!!
i recently bought a peral mp3 and cant get songs from websites to download on it any suggestions
ok to fix your problems the pearl should have come with a usb extension cord , if you plug that to the back of the computer (not the front) it should work fine , if you lost the cord , plug it directly to the back of your computer , the front of the computer does not work very well, for those who cannot add songs to it, download from lime wire and open up windows media player, go to synchronize and open lime wire and windows media next to each other , go to the lime wire library and double click the song you want and drag it over to windows media player and just make your list, when your done simply click on synchronize and wait.,there you go ^-^, now i need some help , i broke the screen on my pearl and the screen stayed a gay color and its really bugging me , when i go to menu how many times do i scroll up or down to get to the menu that allows me to change the color , that would really help me out, pretty soon im going to just get an ipod touch but its really bugging me ^-^;
well i hope i helped and i hope you can help me , byez.
I cant get my PEARL to work anymore. Ever since i downloaded some songs it just like deleted by themselves and it wont register on my new HP computer.
Hey, in reference to david’s comment, you click your menu and go down 4 times, enter, down once and then you can click enter to change the color. and everything works with mine, ive had it for almost 2 years now. Logic people, LOGIC. its pretty simple, it doesnt have its own Bios system like the ipod, its just a external memory device that any computer can read, its basically a flash drive that can play music.

I just got the Pearl for Christmas from a friend of mine. It was working fine for a couple of days, and then it stopped. The music on it all got deleted, and when I’d try to turn it on, it shut off again right away, and now my computer won’t recognize it. When I try to put more music on there, it says to insert a device. I don’t know what to do about this, any ideas, anyone?

i just got my mp3 for 2009 christmas and i don’t know how to download songs on it or a few other things but i will!
This is the most worthless piece of plastic I ever purchased! It has burned through 3 fresh batteries in less than 1 hour of play time. The slightest bump turns the device off. Using one of the selection buttons also has a tendency to turn the device off.
How can i downlaod music onto my rca mp3 player
Theese mp3 players are great. I know from experience that it is able to be washed out in the washing machine 7 times and still work. It can also be dropped a buch of times. After a year and a half of wear and tear the screen started to give out but the thing still works. The worst thing about it is that you must buy triple a batteries for it instead of recharging it. But the player can take a beating!
It still didn’t tell me how to download music on the mp3 player
I have an RCA Pearl MP3 Player and I use it all the time. Love it. Thing is it won’t turn on. I press the on button and all I see is the word Pearl. My computer won’t recognize it either. Any idea what is wrong or how I can fix it. I drive an two hrs for work and I am gonna miss it this evening! Please help! Thanks so much.
i have a pearl and it worked great for a couple months. i added more music to it and now it only displays PEARL. not sure if i have a virus on it? anyone know how to fix it?
RCA Crap
I bought two models both from Walmart
One, PEARL TH2002, the audio from stereo went mono, so now I can only listen music on one ear.
the other, PEARL TH2002RDR, I have had the same issues that many seem to have; suddenly when I insert the player in the USB port of my laptop the player says “transferring” and it does not show up in my computer so I cannot add more tunes or remove the tunes from it. Also the touch screen acts weird.
Piece of crap RCA. I have had other mp3 player much lighter and sturdier than this cheap crap. Then you wonder why people do not buy American technology / brands because RCA is crap.
i have a pearl and i have a cd in the rom and i cant figure out how to get the music on the pearl thanks Erica
Sucks. When plugged into my computer, it let me download my CD’s into folders, song-by-song. But when I take it out and try to play the CD’s, the menu only gives me the choice of “songs” — In other words, I have about 10 CD’s on it, and it mixes all the songs together and then wants me to play them alphabetically — or scroll through one by one till I get to one I want. Stupid. I give up. It’s junk.
I have had my mp3 pearl for years and I love it. I have misplaced everything that goes with it. I would like to have a manual and stuff.

I NEED HELP GETTING SONGS ON IT
How do i turn it on!!!!!
I have had a Pearl TH 1611 for I’m not sure how long but it works just fine. I use it during deer hunting season while sitting up in my stand and have taken it to Africa the past 3 years with no problems. I even let children from the Turkana area of Kenya who have never seen an electronic device listen to it. The reason I found this sight is I’m looking for two more or the updated model to take as gifts to Kenya.
