Summary: Works fine with no problems
Review: This product is older and offers less tahn amny newer MP3 players, but it will get the job done. Here are 3 pieces of advice for owning this player.

1. Upgrade the firmware to the lateset 1.62 version
2. DO NOT use the included software, use Windows Media Player and install the plug-in.
3. Search online to find a couple of spare belt clips, they will break.

All things said, this is a good player for a good price.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Get something else
Review: This product isn't all that it advertises to be. First, I agree with a couple other reviews regarding the software: it is awful. To upload songs onto the player you first have to enter them in the software's database. If you have a lot of songs you would like to choose from, this poses two problems; first you must load EVERY song into the database, and second the database is a flat file system, there is no heirarchy between folders so all your songs just get listed in the order they were entered.

Additionally, this unit is upgradable to 128 MB with an additional 64 MB chip, but what they don't tell you is that they are having problems with the SanDisk and Lixar brands. So if you do purchase this item and wish to upgrade to 128 MB, avoid those brands or you will be stuck with an extra chip like me. Their techinical support says that they are currently working on a fix but have no ETA (surprise).

This unit also eats batteries like crazy. For such a small unit with few moving parts you would expect batteries to last a while, but they do not.

My overall advice would be to avoid this item.

Summary: Didn't last long
Review: When I first got this product, it was wonderful. Clear sound quality, convenient arm band for running and lifting, and easy transfer from Windows Media Player.

HOWEVER, I didn't have it but a couple of months before it flatlined. Just stopped playing one day while I was out running. Tried to resuscitate it with a new battery (it eats plenty of those), but that didn't work either. Even XP can no longer find it. It's dead.

My advice--avoid this product and get something more reliable! I would recommend another product, but I myself am shopping for something new.
