Insignia® Pilot 4GB Video MP3 Player Giveaway
UPDATED WITH WINNER!! Congrats to SJ at comment #461 – you are the lucky winner!
Portable music and video players keep getting smaller and cooler! Best Buy is now carrying a new brand called Insignia which is all about affordable and well designed technology. We were given the opportunity to review the Insignia Kix 1GB MP3 Player and my 11 year old son loves it. Keep reading because I am giving away an even cooler toy to one of our readers!
At less than $50, the Kix is a great entry level MP3 player – perfect for getting kids used to loading their own songs, being responsible for a little gadget and its easy to use. I wanted to really give the Kix a test so I handed the box to my son and said “go for it!” Within just a few minutes he had the box open, had gone over the instructions and was loading music on to the player. The player holds 1GB of music which is plenty for most kids. The online, drag and drop interface made it incredibly easy for him to add songs that were already on his computer and to add more from the Best Buy Music Store. It also has an FM tuner so you can listen to the radio on the go.
In conjunction with this review, Best Buy is sponsoring our giveaway for an Insignia Pilot 4GB Video MP3 Player!
The Pilot holds 4GB of music or video and is Bluetooth enabled allowing you to enjoy your music and videos without wires. Other features include:
- Supports MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless, WMA DRM, WMA Pro, OGG, WAV, Audible, MPEG4 (30 fps), WMV (30 fps) and JPEG formats
- 2.4″ high-resolution LCD color display with wide viewing angles
- Built-in digital FM tuner with 20 presets; remember songs you hear by saving track and artist data from FM stations broadcasting RDS data
- Features a Secure Digital card expansion slot for additional memory capacity (media not included)
- Custom EQ with 4 presets
- High-speed USB 2.0 interface for blazing transfer speeds
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 25 hours of playback time
- Perfect Sync with Best Buy Digital Music Store and rate songs you love or hate with the included music management software
So, how do you enter? It’s easy!! Leave me a comment on this post letting me know that you would like to be entered to win. I’d also love to know if you (or your kids) already have an MP3 player – what you like or don’t like about them, your favorite place to get music, or anything else along those lines. You have to use a valid email address (that you check) as I will be notifying the winner via email. Your email address is not published or shared with anyone! If you have a blog, you can get a second entry by mentioning this giveaway to your readers.
Deadline for entries is midnight Wednesday, February 13, 2008.
Ohhhh – pick me, pick me! My son has a new cheap MP3 player and my daughter used to have one. The problem with them being so small is that kids really easily to lose or break them.
They need bomb-proof ones with a remote-control beeping finder on them!
No, pick me instead, I need it more! (kidding, Wendy)
I would love one of these for when I am cleaning the house…and AJ could really use one for crowded places.
No, no, no… pick ME!
LOL
I’m really looking for a new one for DD. I have an ipod, and DD had another brand (cheaper) mp3 player dedicated to her music. Hers broke though (it won’t charge therefore it’s dead now).
So we’re sharing the ipod again, but it makes it difficult to do random “shuffle” of music…. because either she ends up listening to inappropriate rock music, or I end up lisening to Ralph’s World or the Backyardigans or something, lol.
I’ll throw my hat in the ring just because I could use this as a bribing tool between three boys
Currently we have three iPods and their favorite place to get music is iTunes.
I love these gadgets because I’m not having to constantly yell through the house to turn down the stereo
I would love to win…we don’t have an mp3 player…my husband just borrows one from his brother LOL. Please enter me! thank you so much!
I need this so badly so that I can download episodes of LOST and watch them over and over and over again.
I get most of my music from ITunes (someone bought me a CD for Christmas and I think it was the first one I have gotten in about 6 years).
I have an Ipod Shuffle and hubby has my old Ipod Mini.
We are in desperate need of an upgrade!
Don’t have one and would love one. Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!
I feel like I’m the only one left who DOESN’T have an mp3 or other music device! I find I can ‘afford’ the things my kids and family want, but never seem to be able to justify purchases for me! I would love it for exercise, walking and using the treadmill (yawn) would go so much faster with music!
Count me in. Thanks! I hate the 256MB one I have!
I’d love to win – I have an iPod that I share with my husband and I’d love to get one for my kids to share…
Cool Prize!
My son had an MP3 player that he used constantly. It was one of the few things that helped him go to sleep. (He is 12 and those preteen years are the pits!)
Unfortunately, his dumb mom didn’t check his jeans and it went through the washer and dryer. MP3 players don’t like that! At all. I am definitely looking to replace it!
I don’t have an MP3 player, and I am wishing for one for a long, long time! Pick me!
Hello. What a generous giveaway. My children do not have MP3 player, sorry, no comments on that.
I have downloaded MP3’s but I can’t listen to it outside because I have no player. I would love to win!
Please enter me!
I would love to be entered. We don’t have a one in this house of 5 soon to be 6!! I would love to try one!
Oh please enter me- we have no mp3 players in my house!
I’d love to enter if this is open to Canadians – I’ve never had an mp3 player.
I don’t have an mp3 player at all. I could really use one for the gym! I mostly listen to independent artists, so I mostly get their music online for free(legally, of course).
I would love to win this!!! My kids have them and absolutely LOVE them!!!

I would like to be entered into your drawing. I do not have one of these (I have an Ipod). I like the fact that it is small and compact.
I have a small basic MP3 player that I use for audio books but I would love to have one that allows a few more features. Mine just plays, you can’t select what you want it to play.
me please, i don’t have a mp3 player. my source of music is the radio. it’s all so exspensive, and i don’t have a lot of money
We don’t have a mp3 player. Please count me in.
I’d love to win the video mp3 player! We take a lot of very long (12+ hour) flights and it would sure come in handy.
I have an i-Audio mp3 player that sounds great, but if I forget to charge it and let the battery run down it siezes up and I have to reload all the software!
Wow! What a giveaway! I’d love to be entered to win this!
those are fantastic! can’t wait for the drawing! i bought a sansa shaker and i didn’t like it, so i took it back. hence, i am left without an mp3 player for the time being. would love to win!
Awesome giveaway! I have creative zen, but it doesn’t hold alot-I think it is 2gb.
I use AllTunes to download, super cheap!
Enter me, please!
Count me in! I would LOVE that!!!
Thanks so much!!!

My daughter would love this, she doesn’t have one but is constantly asking for one!
What a great giveaway! No, my son does not have an MP3 player yet. He will if Mommy wins this since I’ll give him my cheaper one. For now we have his music on mine for long car rides.
What a great giveaway! My 12yo son has an iPod Nano. I think the only thing I don’t like about it is that it’s so small that sometimes I don’t realize he’s listening to it and not ME!!
My second son would love this!!
Count me in please~!
None of us have them, my hubby uses his phone to listen to the radio when he works alone. I would love to have one to use when I exersice.
Thanks for the chance to win. I’m behind the times when it comes to MP3s — I don’t have one. I love music and have lots of CDs and even those old things we used to call records. I would really, really love to win an MP3!
What do you mean kids??? I might have a hard time sharing! ha, my daughter would love this!
Oh, now this would be nice! We have never even had an mp3 player in our house, yes we are usualyl well behind the technology trends, but then again we have three kids….two of which have birthday’s coming up so this would be great!!
Please enter me in you contest!
Thank you!!!
I would love to enter!
Right now, I have a mini 2gb ipod. What I don’t like about it is it’s small screen size (i’m partially blind), and that it’s only 2gb! I need more music
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have an ipod nano and it’s great for exercising with. It doesn’t have video. When I bought it, I didn’t think that I would ever want that feature, but now I wish I had gone for it.
What an awesome giveaway!
Enter me please!!
OOOH I have one (not that fancy LOL) and my husband’s always stealing it. I’d love to surprise him with one of his very own!
I’d love to try it. My 11 yo daughter and I don’t have MP3 players or ipods or any of that. Actually, I did get a digital camera for Christmas that is also an MP3 player, but I haven’t tried it in that capacity yet. This would be a nice way for both of us to learn how to use the technology.
I have an mp3 player but would love to get one for my niece. She loves to listen to music. I get my music from Rhapsody
Oh pick me please!!
I’d love to be entered for this giveaway! My son has the Fisher Price FP3 player, and he’s just too old for it. It’s great for younger kids who tend to be a little rough on their toys. He’s ready for something a bit more grown up.
Please count me in… I have one but it is too big to take exercising!
I have an iPod Nano that I like, but would love to win this one for my husband!
I just got my first hand-me-down MP3 player so a new video one would be a treat..i have a toddler so he isn’t into it yet..although having a video player could be a lifesaver when we’re waiting for food at a restuarant…
have a good day!
