Rating: Summary: Great little MP3 Player Review: I really love the size and the price of this little MP3 player. I didn't want one with all the bells and whistles. I just wanted one that was small and easy to use. This player fits the bill. It's very easy to use, and extremely portable. I recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Great little player Review: The Kazoo is a great little MP3 player. Its small size, light weight (just a few ounces, even with the two AAA batteries installed), big sound, easy-to-use interface, skip-free playback and fast USB connectivity makes this an excellent unit, particularly for working out. For working out, the included wrist/arm band is perfect for having the Kazoo readily accessible, but out of the way. There is also an included lanyard for hanging the player around your neck, but this tends to bounce too much. The player has no equalizer, but does have a number of preset sound modes, including rock, pop, bass, etc., which are quite adequate. The player has no song title display as other players do. As with most pre-packaged MP3/CD players, the best thing to do with the enclosed headphones is toss them out with the packaging. I paired my Kazoo up with a pair of Sony street headphones, and the sound is great, particularly in the bass preset mode. The Kazoo will also support MMC expansion cards up to 128MB, for a total possible 196MB of storage (about three hours or so of music recorded at 128Kbps). All in all, the Kazoo is a great little player with good sound, a good feature set, and a reasonable price.
Rating: Summary: Works...sometimes Review: Used sporadically for 2 years. Sometimes it won't turn on, sometimes it will. It makes no sense. Downloading music to it is a time consuming, frustrating chore. I would not recommend this to anybody.
Rating: Summary: This MP3 Player and its software is JUNK... Review: Here's why:
- It won't connect through a USB Hub, it must have its OWN USB port. Well that's a problem if you have a limited number.
- It only works with this stupid MusicMatch software that seems to have been written without simplicity or intuitiveness in mind.
- It has a hard time identifying itself to Windows XP, which in turn has a hard time installing it even with the latest drivers in place. In addition, upon installing the drivers, it wants to restart the computer...those days are long gone, I think they went away with Windows 98. Well written drivers and software don't need to restart any more.
- Once the system finally does find the player, and the MusicMatch software recognizes it, it only uploads one song to the player before it gives an error "Device Not Found". WELL YOU FOUND IT FOR THE FIRST FILE!
- STEER CLEAR of this product! Get an MP3 player that the computer can see as a file system (like another hard drive), and you can drag and drop files directly to it without being handcuffed to some goofy proprietary software.
