Summary: Do NOT buy this
Review: I bought this NIKE player right when it came out.
I went from tape player to CD player to mini-disc player
to finally the NIKE mp3 player.
I use portable audio products when i go running or when
i workout at the gym lifting weights.
When I first bought the NIKE player, I thought it was
awesome...
1. Doesn't skip (like all my previous portable audio
players)
2. Comes with a belt strap for my arm for running and
a belt clip when i go lift weights.
3. Easy software for mp3 and cd songs
etc, etc...
However, there are some major problems:
1. the port where the remote control/headphone/and
USB connector plugs into broke within several months
2. the plastic casing also broke after 6 months
3. And the damn entire mp3 player is now on the
fritz and doesn't play sometimes when i turn the
thing onI say buy a more durable, reliable mp3 player.
I recommend the Panasonic sdsv80....it's been
awesome so far.

Summary: Kick ass MP3 player
Review: I have been wanting one of these for a long time and looked everywhere for it. Every webiste and store that I went to was completely out. I thought that I would have to settle for something eles, but then the obssive complussive dissorder kicked in and I was determined to find it and I am glad that I did. The day it arrived I couldn't get the box open fast enough. And in a few mins of having to load the software and getting use to the interface, I was downlaoding my peronalized playlist and heading to the gym. I was worried after reading some reviews, but I guess that there has to be a few bad apples in the bunch. I reccommend this product to anyone that is looking for something to take to the gym or anywhere really. The sound is great, course I'm not fond of the headset, but gee you can get a new pair, just about anywhere. The controls are easy to use and learn. in closeing I would like to say..get this product as soon as you can.

Summary: I like it, but the software is.....
Review: I like the player very much. I use it when I go walking. I didn't find the headphones comfortable, so I did change those out. Also, the software they give you with it is just awful! Not intuitive at all. I recommend downloading the free one from MusicMatch. They have a free plug in that handles downloads to the MP3 player - works quite nicely.

Summary: Love it
Review: I love this thing. Its so lightweight and perfectly designed for running with, unlike most other mp3 players. Some tips for others to note with this device, and some for all such devices: although mp3 is the most widely used format, wma offers the same qualty for less space thus giving you more music. Also, and this is important to know for this device, the sandisk cards are the only ones guaranteed to work all the time with the nike players, the other brands have been found(by the sonicblue development team) to work only part of the time. Make sure you get a sandisk card so you dont end up getting burned and then taking it out on the good folks who made this wonderful device.

Summary: Great when it works!!
Review: I loved this PSA player, and then it stopped working two weeks after I received it. The computer software could not recognize the player and made changing the music impossible. Also, the player stopped working. I found out, dealing with Sonic Blue customer service is a NIGHTMARE. It looks as if I MAY get a new player 1 to 1.5 months after I returned it due to lack of stock on their part. The player itself was sleek, and easy to use, but
eats batteries fast. Rechargeables are needed to make it cost effective. All in all, the player is a good design, Sonis Blue and their warranty/customer service get a zero for their help and support.

Summary: mixed bag
Review: I loved this thing. It was perfect size and had great sound quality. The armband was excellent for running. Then it stopped working and the nightmare began. Customer service was HORRENDOUS and I cannot get the thing to work by following the FAQ. The software that comes with it isn't very good either. Go with the Intel models they are much safer and don't break.

Summary: DealCat.com
Review: I ordered a refurbished mp3 player from dealcat.com with the assurance that I couold return it if it did not work. However, I have found that dealcat.com will not answer their phones, call back, ir respond to e-mails. I would strongly suggest avoiding this company for anything product one might be interested in.

Summary: Great idea, but not the one to choose.
Review: I purchased this player with full intentions of getting a 'workout' player. Something that didn't have commercials, didn't skip and could withstand a few bumps. The player itself is nice but lacks an FM radio and is a battery killer if used with the remote. I've had the player for about 2 months and it is no longer functional. The software that comes with the player needs to be updated and the Nike site is HORRIBLE for obtaining this. After multiple attempts to register my player and get the software, I have given up. I've attempted to contact the support group but it is via auto response e-mail only. I'm still attempting to get the software, use Media player (recommended by the manufacturer but still doesn't work) or anything to get the songs to record. My hands are in the air in frustration. I'm giving this player a 3 based on the limited usage I had. The headphones are useless but the player was everything I had hoped for. If I could only get the software....

--I.PC/Mac software for transfering tracks to player
---1.I don't use this software I prefere Windows Media Player Pros
-Rugged, good for exercise, doesn't feel like it will break easily
-Intuitive Control design
-Can opt not to use the remote control
-Secure connections so you don't worry about it slipping
-Good velcro strap for the arm band
-Headphones fold up for easy transportation
Cons
-Arm band is a bit to snug for my arm and leaves a small mark if worn for a long time
-Lack of features such as repeat and shuffle play
-Head phone buds which are designed to be inserted into your ears are very oversized and hurt when crammed in ears for a while.
-Battery can't be changed when belt clip or armband are attatched Overall: The weakist link is easily the headphones but you can just use a different pair of headphones. Since head phones are about 5 bucks they don't detract a whole star from a 200 dollar product. Other than that none of the other problems are that annoying, the lack of features is made up for by the remote control which makes it so easy to change tracks that you can listen to whatever you want. Not being able to change the battery when the belt clip or arm band are attatched is ok because chances are when you are running you don't have a battery any way and isf you do you can always just unscrew the thumb screw and change it. The last slight con is the arm band being a bit snug, this was unavoidable because if the band wasn't a bit snug the player would not be secure to your arm and it is no where near tight enough that it will ever cause any damage to your arm. I find that be putting the band over my shirt sleeve feel barely anything. Overall this is a great product and should be considered if you are shopping for a player even if you aren't an athlete.
