Sound Quality is -- In one word -- Excellent !!
By leveraging the cutting edge processor and battery technology of the phone, the HPM-10 provides quite a punch for such a small package. With voice dialing, I can tuck my phone into a pocket and just say who and where I want to call and the music pauses until the conversation is over.
The display on your Ericsson handset is used to bring up a menu which gives you the ability to play random tracks, specific tracks or all tracks. You adjust volume, treble and bass, and choose to skip and pause tracks by using buttons on the phone's keypad under control of on-screen menus. If you receive a call, the player will fade out the music in order to enable conversation; after your call terminates the music will continue. The display shows the first twenty characters of each song title for identification.
You can insert and replace MMC storage cards into the player at the push of a button, which means that in practice the MMCs will give you an unlimited, expandable source of music taking the place of compact discs, mini discs and other removable media that you may have used in the past.
Ericsson has included a version of MusicMatch Jukebox to copy music sources to MP3. The Sandisk MMC Reader/Writer appears as a removable drive on your Windows PC desktop, thus you can use the familiar Windows drag and drop-interface to copy music onto the cards.
