Summary: Nice and Easy - Great 1st MP3 Player
Review: I've had my K@zoo for a few months now, and I'm glad to say that it was a great purchase. I use it when I ride my mountain bike and walking to and from work, and for those purposes it absolutely does the job well. I usually sample at 64k and get about an hours worth of tunes on it, but I am thinking about buying a memory card for it eventually.Sound quality is pretty robust, and the headphones that come with it are pretty darn clear sounding. Controls are simple and there's a lock mode that will keep you from bumping the buttons and chaning songs when you don't mean to. The DSP modes don't really seem to do much, but that'd be splitting hairs in such an already nice sounding player. It's got basic play modes: random, repeat all, and that's about it. It's a budget minded player with just the right essentials and not much more, but people tend to buy more than they need when it comes to electronics. If you just want to take some MP3s on the go, then this is a great player.

Summary: GREAT BUY!
Review: I bought this itiem about a month or two ago and since haven't went to the gym without it...although it does only have 32mb of built in memory (I would recommend an upgrade to 128) for the price and sound and options and the software (which I've used to convert my entire music collection into MP3's) you can't beat it. The sound quality is incredible! I do recommend upgrading the headphones that come with it. They're great, but they could be a little better. It comes with an arm band and a sweat-resistant plastic cover, which are a must if working out, or a neck band for just walking around. I recommend this to anyone who is serious about their music or who just wants a great MP3 player at a great price.

Summary: Quite Impressive
Review: I bought my Kazoo mp3 player a few months ago and I have since consistently used it on a daily basis. It has taken quite a trashing from using it to jog and running it between my car and the pc to d/l songs to it. It only has a few scratches on it, otherwise it still works perfectly. I use Energizer Titanium batteries (the ones that claim to last 5x longer...and actually do) and go through about 2-4 batteries a month. It is very easy to use, and by going to the RCA website to get the update, it works perfectly fine with Windows XP and the included MusicMatch Jukebox. My only complaint is the standard memory but there is an expansion slot and the option of buying the available 64mb version.

Summary: Great, portable MP3 Player!
Review: I got the Kazoo MP3 Player as a gift, and I have to say, this is one of the smallest and lightest MP3 Players you'll get youir hands on, as of now. The sound quality of this player is great, and you can adjust the sound to your preferences by using the graphic equaliser presets. The 32 MB version can store upto 8 songs at 128 kbps, which is a bit low, but it can be upgraded using a mmc card. The cons are that it finishes batteries rather quickly, and no ID3 tag support. But the advantages overweight the disadvantages, and overall, I would recommend this player for people who need a very compact, lightweight MP3 player which they can take along with them whereever they go!

Summary: Poor Product
Review: This MP3 Player only lasted two weeks in my possession. Despite new batteries, the unit never played another tune after limited use. Would not recommend this for a purchase. Now I guess I know why it was 47% off the regular price.

Summary: Very nice and small - works fine with XP
Review: This is about the smallest MP3 player you can get. I just got it today and had it working in about 5 minutes with WinXP Pro. I don't know why other reviewers are complaining. You can have MusicMatch downsample your MP3s when you transfer them to them to the Kazoo. This is a very nice feature if you have tons of storage hogging MP3s on your computer. Just use 64kbps and you should be able to get more than an hour of music in the built-in 32MB of memory. I was surprised at how good it sounds. Another handy feature is that you can fast-foward/reverse thru a song. The only mystery is how long the batteries will last...

Summary: Still doesn't work with XP
Review: The Kazoo is frustrating, because it would be an excellent player if only it worked reliably with the now-standard version of the world's most common operating system (XP). Like some other folks, I enjoyed it under ME. It has reasonably good sound (good enough for running); it's compact and light--I barely notice it on my wrist. It does go through the batteries fast, but you can't have everything. Sadly, it's been erratic since I upgraded to XP (more than 50% of the time, I can't change the files on the player). If you don't have XP, get the 64 MB version and you'll have about an hour of music. If you do have XP, wait until you see some positive reviews. I'll give it five stars when (if ever) it works for three months continuously. If you still don't believe the XP warnings: as mentioned elsewhere, there really is ZERO SUPPORT coming from RCA on this. The useless email support offered the same advice as the useless PDF on the useless website. When I asked for further support, they suggested I make a long-distance phone call during the day. (They also said they offer free support by email--in the same message that said they couldn't offer any further support!) No wonder RCA went bankrupt. Believe the warnings!

Summary: Not for XP users
Review: I bought this device and brought it home with great expectations. I was disappointed. First off, the company does not make XP drivers, and the only drivers you can get for it work with Music Match Jukebox. That's OK, if, like me, you use Music Match. However, the drivers are Beta versions, and they are not approved for use with XP. Not only that, whenever I turned off my computer and plugged the device back in to reload MP3s, the computer forced me to reinstall the drivers. I was willing to live with that, but I was not willing to live with the problems that I had once the files were downloaded. Everything seemed flawless, until I started playing my music back. It seems as though parts of the song don't make the trip and the music seems to skip. Very annoying and frustrating. This problem happened on both of my computers at home which use XP Pro. However, when I used it with my computer at work, running Win 2K, everything worked great. SO the bottom line is, if you don't use XP and you never will, this is a great purchase. If you do use XP, this little thing with give you big trouble.

Summary: Cheap Product with Cheap Software
Review: I recently bought this mp3 player in hopes to put my old cd player to rest. I hoped for skip-free music at a decent price. Somehow within the transfer of music from my computer to the device, it recorded skips. So I attempted to call customer service. Well it doesn't exist. First of all, RCA does not make this mp3 player; it just puts its name on it. So after finding the manufacturing company, they just told me to call my place of purchase. No help what so ever. So my next approach was to ask my IT-specialist boyfriend to attempt to help me out. He provided no new answers and just got further angered by the product. The body is made of a very bright plastic (I bought the 64mb one in red) that looks very cheaply made. I dropped it once and left a horrible scratch in the side. On another note, I do run XP, and didn't have any major problems, but my boyfriend thinks the skipping comes from it's inability to work well with XP. And lastly, the software is cheap. It's great software when you purchase the updated edition. They basically give you the free-be and attempt to get you to upgrade for an additional fee. Needless to say, it was returned.

Summary: This is an AWSOME MP3 Player for a great price
Review: I love to listen to music while I work out so I decided to get an MP3 player becasue I was sick and tired of carrying my CD player and my tape cassette around. Besides, when you are on the treadmill jogging you get kind of sick and tired of your CD player skipping. Anyway I'll make it short and to the point. This little MP3 player packs a mean punch!! The sound is great and the software included makes the music really easy to transfer. It comes with a neck strap, carry case, wrist strap and digital headphones. I perfer to use the wrist strap while I'm working out. Anyway (I did say I was going to make[price]. The only downfall is that it comes with 32 MB memory which means you won't get but about 10 songs but it has a slot so you can expand the memory. All in ALL it's a great MP3 player for your buck.
