The Anubis Group has a new high-capacity player on the market, the Typhoon My DJ. It has a 15GB capacity and many of the most popular features that the newest generation of MP3 players carry. In addition to MP3/WMA playback, it includes an FM radio, fast USB 2.0 connectivity and digital recording to MP3. Notably, it can also record FM broadcasts in addition to recording from an external microphone. While radios are increasingly common on newer players, not every one can record radio. The My DJ is a compact 3.86"x2.6"x0.87" and weighs 6.7oz. [Via Digital Audio News]
Is this thing coming to North America anytime soon?
Posted by: Lone at April 29, 2004 02:32 PMIt doesn't look like it is available yet. I've emailed the manufacturer about the player, so maybe I can find out if/when it will be available in NA.

Posted by: Lone at April 30, 2004 11:09 AMYou can buy this typhoon with 20 GB capacity for 279 euro's in Holland! That's not too much I think!

Posted by: René at May 17, 2004 11:45 AMbought it. The FM radio does not receive any station at all.
Posted by: Kris at May 19, 2004 10:31 AMforget this player, this one is really shit! don't do the same mistake as me and do not buy it!
after returning my first one, i got a new one, which couldn't be turned on at all. now they don't want to give me my money back, but are putting me off with some other (128mb) player from their assortment.

Posted by: olaf at July 1, 2004 06:10 AMIn Finland they ("Lidl") sells MyDj Player for 199€. I think that is quite a good price for 20gb portable music player/hard drive!
Posted by: RR at July 8, 2004 12:48 AMOnly had the My DJ jukebox for 10 days now and I am well impressed! Can't compare it to any of the other leaders, iPod etc, not knowing squat about them but I have had no problems and find it a joy to use. Creating your own startup screen is a cool feature and easy once you get the hang of it. I have Jimi Hendrix greeting me everytime I boot on. At £179 from LIDL, this player is a marvellous bargain!

Posted by: georgina at September 19, 2004 09:53 AMi bought this mp3 player but the accu just doesn't work and "lidl" won't pay me back because they only provide guaranty on the hard diskdrive ... witch means nothing else than the drive...
don't buy it...
Posted by: Erik at February 23, 2005 03:28 PMGot one and its refusing to play back wma's, anyone know why?
Posted by: David at January 14, 2006 02:48 AMI bought it but i have a big problem : the driver "digital audio player" doesn't appear on the installation cd-rom. the player doesn't recognize mp3 and wma format. I dont know what to do !! please help me !!
Posted by: orel at February 16, 2006 03:00 AMI bought it, it broke 3 months later.
It's seems a really good buy but it really is crap...
my friend bought it too, it broke he got a replacement, it broke. I think it must be a fault in the machine line.
My advice, don't buy it.
I got it half a year I can listen music about 20 minuts on batteries TOP, and when I want to copy something on it battery going down after a 50 Mb !!! !!!
And of course it can't be charged via usb so whenever I'm going I have to walk with a charger !!!
it is a crap.
