Without those, you’ll receive only static. Note that for adequate reception, regular (wired) headphones must be plugged in, as they double up as an antenna. Although hopelessly overloaded, the FM radio spectrum in the western world still exists, and PBS are still broadcasting. The Radio is a nice touch, something that’s oft forgotten in todays streaming music age. Not sure who came up with the name though. It’s like a beat box of sorts, with record and playback function. Strangely, the Tools section also contains the radio app, a calendar and a stopwatch, and a cute music generator/sequencer called “Decompression Artefact”. More settings can be found under the Tools section from the main screen, from where we can enable Bluetooth and connect external accessories. There’s an option to format the card or internal storage here too, as well as date and time settings. It also lets you select if you’d like to access the built-in 8GB of storage, or the external SD card. The Settings section is very simple, showing you the current firmware version, volume, brightness and auto-off settings. Most of these access the file structure on the device, from where you can then look at photos, listen to music or read a PDF (as much as the small screen allows it). Let’s take a look at what else we can do with it.Īfter you operate that satisfying flick-switch to power on the gadget, you’re greeted with something akin to the iOS Springboard, featuring 10 icons to start the music and video player, a voice recorder, calculator, game section, book section, photos and settings. You can also attach a micro USB cable to charge the device and to transfer files to and from. While no WiFi is present, the device has a regular 3.5mm headphone jack (compatible with TRS and TRRS headsets) and a Bluetooth connection for wireless headphones. Most importantly, it has a Micro SD card slot that lets you play that huge library of music files you’ve ripped a few years ago, the one you’ve not listened to for years. It even comes with a flick-switch as an the on/off button. It wants to play MP3 files for you, play a video file, maybe show you a photo, let you listen to the radio, or let you play a simple game. The M9 Plus doesn’t do that, nor does it want to. It almost feels out of place in 2019, in which even the simplest household gadgets connect to your WiFi network. When it comes to smart devices, the M9 Plus is a very simple (yet complex) one. If you’ve been looking for a replacement for yours, or always wanted one, then this device might be a good fit for you. It’s very small and lightweight, about the size of an iPod Nano, which has been discontinued since 2017. It’s hard to believe, but there’s a regular no-frills non-WiFI MP3 player available in this day and age! Can you believe it? When I read about this I wanted to take a closer look at the MAHDI M9 Plus MP3 player gadget.
