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.
3 of my son’s have players, ranging from a $20 one to a Sansa one, I can’t figure most of them out. lol. That’s what I like about the Insigna one, it looks easy to use!
Please enter me, arogers(at)gmail(dot)com
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win something soo cool! i am older and NEVER even used one of those and would LOVE to step into the 21st century lol
i am having so much fun with this giveaway! Thank you again, Have a GREAT day 
Oooh, amazing giveaway! Right now I have an iPod nano (the old version) and my biggest problem with it, is that my husband keeps ‘borrowing’ it and forgetting to give it back! Ha, ha. I’d love to win this, and then we could stop the back-and-forth over the nano!
What I like best is that this would be for ME!
My oldest (10) does have one under pretty good restrictions so she doesn’t become one of those kids who has to have one ear plugged in at all times. My others want one desperately, but they can wait, at least until *I* get one!!! 
Thanks for entering me 
I think we have a couple of MP3 players around the house… so-so quality… but we have LOTS of people!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have an IPOD shuffle, but my niece has been hinting for the last few months she would love an MP3 player for her birthday. Please enter me…THANKS!!
I’d LOVE to win this!!
I would love to win. We have an older ipod. I do not like that the music on itunes is not in an mp3 format and I would love to have an actual “mp3″ player. Please count me in. Thanks for hosting!
Please enter me to win! My husband has an mp3 player and uses it ALL THE TIME! My kids are still to young, but I hate to invest in one for myself until I see if I really would use it daily! My hubby usually gets music through friends or puts his own on his. =) Great giveaway!
I’d love to be entered to win this! Can you believe that no one in this house owns an MP3 player? Hope to remedy that soon.
Oooo count me in! My husband has an mp3 player but he doesn’t share, lol!!!
yes please, thank you.
I’ve wanted one of these for awhile. How exciting!
how fun is that prize!? please enter me.
I wanna be in! Have yet to find a player that is unbreakable
I’d like to enter!
I have an old iPod that won’t connect to my computer anymore, haha. But my son doesn’t have one, he’s only four but expresses an interest so it might be nice to have something he could use on his own in the car and such. (He has a very defined taste in music lol)
Great! My husband has an old mp3 player, but the rest of us are without!
There is not one person in our household of 5 that has an MP3 player, but not becuase we don’t want one!
I have an MP3 player, and I love it. My nephews and nieces are so jealous and want to have their own, their small radio toys are not enough anymore.
Please enter me.
I would love to win! That blue tooth item making it wireless sounds great! We got my boys MP3 players for Christmas. We got a great deal after Christmas and the limit was 2 or I would have got myself one too.
Oh this is so cool! It would keep my kid busy in the back seat on long trips! Thanks for the chance to win!
We don’t have any mp3 players–I’d love to win one!
enter me for sure! my husband has an mp3 player but it has taken so long for him to figure it out (it says it’s full of music but only would play 30 songs). but I think they’re great!
I would love this!! Pick me!! : ) I also have a giveaway!
We would adore this
Great giveaway! Me and my sister have cheap MP3 players, but my brother does’nt and I bet he would love this too!
COUNT ME IN!! My hubby and I just started a weight loss challenge and we even started a blog for that. It’s soooooooo difficult to exercise in silent!!!!!!!!!!
We don’t have an Mp3 player. Please enter me & thanks for the contest.
My kids don’t ‘have an MP3 player as they are all 5 and under. However, the 5-year-old has taken to carrying around one of those musical Hallmark cards so maybe it is time he had one…
This would be great!! I currently have an old iPod mini which my daughters desperately want to get their hands on. My oldest daughter has a little SanDisk MP3 player and now the second one is begging for her own, too!
I don’t have one–but would love to! Great giveaway! Thanks.
I asked for one for Christmas, but no luck so here goes…this will be our first player…I am excited!!
My son would love that! He keeps taking mine!!
I would love this – don’t have an MP3 player but would love either of these. I love looking at Itunes and Amazon for music. Thanks!
I don’t have an MP3 player ~ yet
, but they seem convenient for listening to your favorite tunes anywhere.
I blogged about your giveaway:

*Thanks* for the giveaway!
I have an iPod Shuffle. The only thing I do not like is that it has no display. I get most of my downloads from iTunes.
My husband would love this. He does not have an MP3 player.
What a great giveaway. Count me in!
Oh, please enter me in your contest. I have never had an MP3 player and have always wanted one. Thank you so much for entering me in.
my kids don’t have a mps yet but I would love for them to have their own.
Ohh!! Yes please! We both have ipods; I listen to mine while working out. I would love the video aspect of this one. How cool. I’m not too saavy at loading the ipod-I have my husband do it, but I’m working on getting into the groove myself. Thanks for the giveaway!!
That looks seriously awesome!
I used to own a 1g Ipod Nano (it was stolen while I was traveling). I wasn’t really that impressed. It was nice to be able to listen to music and so forth, but I didn’t feel that it was as user-friendly as I had hoped. Lots of things that I had hoped to be able to do with the mp3 player were not possible with the Ipod. I am very glad that other companies – like Insignia and Sandisk – are creating mp3 players that fill those needs (and generally cost less!)
I linked to you from my blog – check it!
Thanks!
Melinda
Cool an mp3 player. No I don’t have an mp3 players. I like the fact that you can listen to music anywhere you go, I really hope I win.
Thank you, this is so cool!
Woohoo! I have a classic iPod from about three years ago. I like getting my music from iTunes or something similar. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’ve posted about this giveaway at my blog: http://luckycanuck.blogspot.com/2008/01/want-to-win-insignia-pilot-4gb-video.html
I would love this because my daughter has a barbie MP3 and my son is REALLY wanting an MP3 so he can be like her!!!
I bought the SPI Mp3 players for Christmas for my 6 & 10 year old. I honestly can say that they were not worth the $60 each at all. They are 2gb& do hold a lot, but they are video & I can’t seem to get a single video on them. They are difficult to use & do not hold a charge at all. It took a couple days of playing around just to get them to work at all. I have an Ipod, way easier
The one’s you have reviewed sound wonderful!
Would love to JOIN the revolution. I still listen to a boom box…YIKES!
Thanks for a great giveaway! I had an ipod but I gave it to my husband so he would have something to do while riding the ferry to work. I’d love to have an mp3 for myself! ~
I would love to be entered in this. My kid sister has a cheap 1gig mp3 player, and has had it for a while. It’s a Creative Labs product, and the small digital menu is difficult to navigate. We bought it for her with the idea that she’d like to use the microphone feature, but it pales in significance if you have trouble remembering how to get to it, or how to play what you’ve recorded (if you could figure out how to record anything).
She’s had it for over a year now, so if I were to win this, she’d definitely enjoy an upgrade.
me and the kids dont have an mp3 player but i was looking into getting one!
Cool prize – I’d love to have something like this!!
