Summary: Excellent Buy
Review: I bought this a couple months ago now. I haven't had any major problems with it. It has fell a couple of times and it still works. My only complaint is that sometimes it just freezes or turns off, it's probably because it's getting jumbled around in my pocket. It is a bit bulky, but hey, I have around 100 cds on here in 128 kb/s and it is only 13% full!
The sound quality is however good as the headphones you are using. I advise getting different ones that come with it. I got some 12 dollar Sony ear buds, they sound pretty nice. They actually have bass!
The five band equalizer on it is great. I love it. You can easily archive all of your music. I wouldn't say you can make playlists really fast...it's a slow and tedious process when using the RipDrive itself. The line-in jack works incredibly well and so does the microphone.
There may be better mp3 players out there, but absolutely not this cheap. I love this. Listen to it everyday during math class :) probably why I'm failing...

So...if you like music and care about how it sounds and what not, get this. If you care about what people think (people tend to make fun of this because it's big...haha) or just need something really little, still get it.

Hope I helped...I'm always bad with this review thing. But I tried!

Summary: Huge hard drive, everything in mp3
Review: I like that everything gets converted to MP3 format. I also like having 30 GB to record mega hours of voice or music recordings. My first unit had troubles stopping when I was in the record mode. And I also had troubles with that unit hanging at the end of a recording and then having to hard reset and lose what was recorded. I got a replacement and have learned to use both thumbs on the stop button to stop a recording. One caveat: Do not use a computer mic on the unit, it can fry the line in jack.
