Sydney, Australia, October 25, 2011 – Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a worldwide leader in storage and multimedia products, today revealed the new dual capacity MP300 compact digital music player and USB flash drive. Dedicated to fulfilling the diverse needs of consumers, Transcend has developed the MP300 compact digital music player designed to complement the active lifestyles of music lovers. Featuring outstanding portability, long-lasting battery life and intuitive controls, the MP300 provides carefree audio enjoyment on the go at great value.

Offering a staggering 15 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge of its integrated lithium polymer battery, the MP300 with its superior long-life battery, ranks high above other digital music players of similar size and weight, affording excellent value. Compatible with the most popular, high quality audio formats including MP3, WAV and WMA, the MP300 also operates as a flash drive to store or transport documents and pictures. Furthermore, the extra benefit of flash drive capability on the MP300 does not require additional software, desired tracks and files need only be a simple drag and drop process via its high-speed USB 2.0 port.

The multipurpose MP300 is dainty in design weighing only 15 grams and features a striking yet subtle circular motif on the outer casing. Compact enough to carry in a pocket or purse, or even worn around the neck with the included lanyard, the physical presence of the MP300 will hardly be noticed during exercise or travel, allowing for a totally uninhibited digital music experience. Music playback is simple and straightforward – just skip through tracks in continuous mode or play all songs randomly with the aid of the convenient slide switch.

In addition to its powerful battery and wonderful portability, the MP300 comes equipped with easy-to-use, intuitive controls that can be operated casually with one hand, eliminating the need for a display screen. The MP300 also features a high speed USB 2.0 port for PC connectivity and fast file transfers, plus the convenient dual-colour LED indicator alerts users of each performed action, as well as signalling the battery and file transfer states for complete peace of mind. Currently available in two capacities – 4GB and 8GB, the MP300 is backed by Transcend's two-year limited warranty.
