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.
don’t have any mp3 players yet – would be our firsts!
Money is tight but my husband stood in line the day after Thanksgiving to get me a cheapo mp3 player for $16. I would like to thank him by giving this to him if I win it. We are both trying to get in shape and I can work out SO much longer if I’m listening to music or a podcast!
Thanks so much!
i would love to win this for my son
So I’d love to win!!! Wow. I have an ipod nano already,which I use to listen to some music but also lots of podcasts. I love the NPR podcasts, especially This American Life, and I also like some medical podcasts (I’m a resident physician). Mostly I use itunes to download these.
I don’t have an mp3 player yet but would LOVE one! I am just getting back into running shape again (I’ve been a couch potato since the birth of my daughter!) and a player would come in so handy for long jogs!
I got a samll inexpensive one that is nothing like this one. I have only downloaded music from Walmart
I have an ipod nano and I love to buy itunes or rip my own cds. It’s great, thanks for the contest.
These look so cool. We have Ipods but are looking to upgrade to video.
What a great give-a-way. Please enter me into this drawing. Thanks.
I think I am one of the last dinosaurs on Earth without one of these! Thanks for such a generous giveaway…That video player would come in SO handy at entertaining my little man at the grocery store!
I had an iPod and then it died suddenly. I have no idea why or how, but I guess the batteries give out in approx. two years. It was very disappointing and I would love this as a replacement!
my husband has an Mp3 player that he occassionally lets me use. I’d love to have one of my own.
I have one, but no one else in my family does. Mine is a Sansa Sandisk, and I just got it for Christmas, so I’m not very familiar with it yet. I was amazed at how small it is, though!
Please enter me. Thanks! We don’t have an MP3 player yet but we’d love one!

I’d love to win. My husband and I share an ipod. It works out but I’d love to have my own mp3 player.
I would love to win this!
I would love to win. I have an ipod Nano which I love so user friendly. However it does not have video capacity as its only a nano.
Thanks for the terrific giveaway. Would love to have an mp3 player. Please enter me.
Please enter me. We haven’t got an Mp3 player, though my daughter wants one.
Great idea.
Please be sure to stop by my blog to enter my giveaway.
What an awesome prize. I’m sure some of my grandchildren could show me how to use it!
I’m still mostly old school, getting my music from actual stores. Sometimes I download indy stuff though. Haven’t yet really gotten into buying music online.
What a fabulous giveaway! No, we don’t have any MP3 players in our home. My son says they do hold a lot of songs! Please enter me in your giveaway drawing! Thanks very much…..Cindi

74 Comments? Sigh..
Well, the 4gb version does look awesome
Great giveaway!
Oh, that is a great prize! Please enter me! My dad has an mp3 player, and we love it! We usually just get the CD and rip it to the mp3 player, it works beautifully!
What a GREAT giveaway!! I have an mp3 player and I love being able to take something so small on walks or runs ~ it makes excersizing so much more fun!! Thanks for the chance to win!!

I’d love to win this for my husband! We both have ipod nanos, but it’s such a pain to be forced to use I-Tunes. The accessories are also very expensive.
I have an ipod already but I wouldn’t let my niece or nephew touch it. this would be a good solution to their grabby grab hands. Enter me!
we don’t have one at our house, so please enter me!

Thank you for this awesome giveaway, I’d love to be entered to win.
My kids have basic MP3 players. I like that they can change the music if they want, and that I can delete things I don’t want them to have!
Great prize! We have 0 (yes. zero) MP3 players in our house… this would be fun!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to be entered. My husband has an iPod but I could never justify the expense to get another one for me.
I would love love love love to win! No kids yet…so they don’t have one. But, we are hoping for children…will be celebrating first anniversary in March!
All of my lder kids have one, hubby has one, but poor ol’ mom doesn’t have one yet! LOL I would love to win!!
I have never had a MP3 player so what a great thing to win!
Our kids (9 and 7) have the Disney mix stick (or whatever it’s called) the pros are the size and shape the cons are the battery dies quickly and has to be recharged often, second thing is they can’t easily add music on their own. We have to load music for them. Having something they could easily figure out how to load MP3’s onto would be awesome! Count me in! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Please count me in!
I do have an ipod, but I’m really wanting to replace it. The battery’s worn down completely after only a year, and to replace it myself I have to do some sort of MacGuyvering (and, of course, buy a $60 battery). Ugh.
PICK ME!
My husband and daughter both have MP3 players. They love them. I would love one to have when I am sitting in an airport or working on my laptop or walking the dog. Thank you for entering me.
I’d really love to win this! I have one already, but it only holds 20 songs and is really cheap.
I don’t own a MP3
Count me in please.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Stop by my place to win a bath set & candles or one of two copies of a book I’m giving away. Don’t miss the daily edition of contests galore that I post on my blog.

I would love one…we don’t have the money to buy one…so it would be great to win one.
Ohhh, my daughter has been saving for a video MP3 since her older MP3 broke. She would love this! We usually shop at Best Buy for electronics.
What a fantastic prize! Thankyou for offering it!
omg! this is awesome! i’ve been wanting to replace ds mix max since he’s getting a little too old for it. i hope i win
We don’t have any MP3 players yet, but I’m hoping to win one soon (hint, hint)!
We take lots of long car trips, so this would be so great for our family.
Count me in! I have a small mp3 player. It’s great for listening to sermons, books, etc. while I’m doing housework!
