Summary: Buy something else....
Review: My fiance got this MP3 player for Christmas. The buttons are not in a user-friendly layout and it's not easy to find the button you need. There is no carrying case or strap to make it easy to carry around...it [isnt good] if you want to use it to work out. Downloading music to it is not easy at all, especially for computer novices...and the worst thing, is that one day, it just stopped working completely...and we can't figure out how to fix it. I would recommend the [something else]...

Summary: Good, with some shortcomings...
Review: On the whole a well-engineered piece of personal electronics, charming and useful in many ways - would repurchase, but irritated by the following (more-or-less minor) shortcomings: * No real mega-bass, effect of 4 on-board EQ settings unsatisfying.
* Poorly produced manual supplied only electronically.
* On-board software crashes and locks up easily. Have upgraded from frimware version 0.021 to 0.201, the very latest (what do those numbers tell you?!). :) Have had one total lock-up where even removing the battery did nothing: *RELOADING THE FIRMWARE FIXED*.
* Screen difficult to see, slow to draw, no backlight.
* Resolution of voice recordings unadjustable, low-bandwidth (4-bit) IMA-ADPCM (.wav) encoding only.
* Weakly made battery-compartment door doesn't stay firmly shut, cheap plastic case construction in general, metalic paint quickly wears off.
* Tricky to power-on and power-off, sluggish to navigate.
* MP3 Files without ID3 tags display in 8.3 designation.
* Despite reports to the contrary, will not play anything but mp3's and IMA-ADPCM wav's. (although very-low-bitrate mp3's do play.)
* On-board 'Auto-Shut-Off' function works only when play is stopped. Also not when connected to computer USB which will RUN DOWN THE BATTERY if left plugged in. I have wasted 3 batteries like this.
* No 'Shuffle' Mode.
* Playlist resets to song #1 after shutoff.
* Included earbuds of moderate quality. Best feature: Memory-Card expandable (mine has 192 megs now, and dispite reports works fine with a 128meg card.) Would most like to see in future firmware upgrades: Play for WMA and other formats, true MegaBass, better auto-shutoff, fix for any of the above stated weeknesses and, most importantly, option for FULL-16bit PCM RECORDING!!!!!!!

Summary: All Around Great Product
Review: This MP3 player is a steal for the price! For once, the earphones are excellent!! The quality of the sound is fantastic, considering that the earphones came with the player. I hear no static when I play my music at high volumes. I suggest getting a memory card to boost the player to more than 64mb, because longer songs fill the player to capacity very quickly. The LCD screen is very clear, and the buttons are very nicely laid out. Most importantly, the player's MP3 software was a breeze to load onto my computer. My player was up and running in 2 minutes or less. I definitely suggest this player to anyone wants to get the most for their money.

Summary: Great player for the price
Review: This MP3 player is awesome! For the price you get many features you would'nt find without forking over another $50. The main features you would'nt get otherwise are: Display screen that shows the song title and artist(Others just have "Track 1"), a voice recording feature, and a sound equalizer. Cons:
Doesn't allow memory cards over 64 megs.
You have to navigate a menu to get to the recording feature rather than a simple press of the record button.
The software doesn't seem to work with Windows XP( Though it functions fine with Windows 98).

Review: This stupid thing does not even upload the freaking voice saved data. How freaking WORTHLESS is that? I'm sorry, but I can buy a 2 cent voice recorder to just record something if that's what just I want to do. Don't put a freakin recording feature on the stupid thing if you won't let the user upload the data. WORTHLESS.

The olny draw back is that it only holds 2 hrs of music but can be upgraded.
This is a great mp3 player!

Summary: Great Player
Review: When I was searching the net for good mp3 players I saw this one. When I saw the price I didn't think that it would be that good. But after ordering and receiving this player I prooved myself wrong. This player is very small and light. It is the only player that I know of that has display for the price. Occasionaly the sound will skip but not often enough to be annoying. The interface is relatively easy to learn and the bouttons are not too small (in my opinion). It has 64MB internal memory and has a SmartMedia Card slot that takes 8,16,32 and 64MB cards. Getting is to work at the start took about 15 minutes to figure out what to do but after it was installed putting music onto the player was as easy as copying and pasting. The computer sees the player as a removable drive. Overall this player is the best you'll find for the price.
