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 one and was wondeering if anyone knew of a generic carrying case I could use for it.
I had more or less the same problem. The device cannot be read by my PC and is not working at all, except for the voice recording. What happened with yours, have you managed to fix the problem and how?
I have had a pearl for several months now. I absolutly love it. I like it better then my husbands IPOD. I can add and remove songs so easy I don’t have to subscrib to any subscription sevices. It’s great. I just plug it into my laptop open the folder and delete and add at will. Fantastic little MP3 player. I got the 512 memory and bought a 1gb card. Not one problem to date.
Have a PEARL and loveit. Anyone with problem, no read etc. did you unplug while downloading? All flash cards are the same, must treat carefully. PEARL better then most $100 units..

oh to get music downloaded here is wat u do—with your usb extention cord hook up ur mp3 player to 1 end and hook the other end into your usb port, then go to my computer and there will be a thing called pearl, so click on it and then drag your music files into the newley opened pearl thing.
also please answer my previous question
P.S. the pearl thing will be located next to where your floppy disc thing is.

i have a pearl 2 gb and i cant seem to find anywhere on there where i can delete songs and i added the same songs twice on accident because i thought i didnt have it on my mp3 player will someone help me out
Hi Casey,
I think your best bet would to connect the player to your computer with the USB cable, and then view the files on your computer like you would a flash drive. You can then manage/add/delete them through the file viewer on your computer.
can i download music without installing the disk?
yes you can just install limewire
i had a question about plugging my mp3 player into a stereo and nobody andswered it yet so can some1 answer it
Where do you all get your downloads from? I can’t seem to find one that is compatible with it.

I recived a 2gb pearl for xmas and its been acting up so bad, i had to look to see if it was recalled… I downloaded 156 songs onto it and it only showed half. I deleted everything and tried again 2 more times, still half. And then i was in the car and it changed background color on me. It skips and i get fuzzes thrughout my songs. Its so cheap, cheap enough that i will never buy another RCA product again!
i am using limewire to put my songs on my mp3 player and accidentally put multiples on it. Now its skipping! I don’t know how to delete my songs!
I have a pearl mp3 player but it only plays certain files… how can i get it to play all my music????

I recieved a pearl for Christmas and it is working great! I have even dropped it several times and busted the end open but it is working great for me!
Sometimes it does that. You just need to unistall the ubs and then reinstall it again. And…. back up your data…heheh
Ok, my Pearl was working great, but for some reason now my computer (or any of my friends’ computers) will read it. I can’t put any music on, or take any off!! Help!! Even if I go into “My Computer” nothing shows up….the only option I have is to “Safely Remove” it…..nothing else. Please help!!
my pearl has problems. my friend gave me his, because he said that it had “DIFFICULTIES” with it. first of all, he lost the disk, so i can’t really find a way to put music through it legally. please help me with that problem! and second of all, whenever i try to record, it always says something like ” there is insufficient space ” what ever that means. i really tried everything, and it just wont work.. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG!
