Summary: Pretty Good Player
Review: I got this mp3 player for christmas and i have to say that it has served its purpose so far. At first i wanted to get the virgin player but once i found out that i wont need that much memory i opted out of for the biomorph. The 126mb was good enough for me because i listen to the same 20 songs for about a month untill i change them anyway. But, for others you can add addtional memory. The directions will fool for about a day but in all actuality it installs itself. Some down falls are the accesorries, the head-pieces are too big and it doesnt get that loud, the case is shabby and so is the armband. Also, after a day and a half you will find yourself changing the aaa battery. Overall, its a pretty good player.

Summary: Great....so far
Review: I had no problem loading music and setting this baby up. I use XP and it looks like any other removable drive. I plan to use it for running and I will see how it holds up under pressure. I will rewrite IF I have any problems.

Summary: Perfect MP3
Review: i loved this mp3 player. First of all, its compatible with WMA files which is a huge plus. Second, it uses plug-and-play, so you don't have to install a driver. It holds 128 MB worth of memory, which is actually a lot with WMA. It has a great battery life provided you don't leave the hold switch on. While the earphones do hurt if you leave them in too long, its only after about an hour, so if your going to listen to that much music at once, just invest in some better earphones that you can get at target for about $5.00. The joystick design is a lot easier to use than with other models. And since it's only about $100, it's a much better choice than a Rio which can start at $150-$200. It's the perfect MP3 if you just found out what an MP3 is or have every type of music storage there is!

Summary: Extremely satisfied...
Review: I rarely post reviews online but I will have to give this MP3 player a boost on its rating. I've been looking for a good MP3 player without having to dish out a lot of cash. I stumbled upon this one in Target and decided to purchase it for $99 during my Christmas shopping.Normally, before I buy any electronic goods, I always do some research on the internet to check for good ratings. When I bought this, I have not done any research on it so I was a bit worried. When I got home I checked out the reviews and was saddened to see it has an avg rating of 3 of 5 stars. I read the bad experiences people had with getting it started and how it was a known issue. I then decided to play with it (fingers crossed) and to my surprise it was so EASY to use and sound quality is pretty good. I just plugged in the USB cable it came with and did a "drag and drop" onto the drive it was represented as on my computer. THAT EASY!. Perhaps, for some people that may be hard to do, but that's user error and not product flaw.

Summary: Setup easy but poorly manufactured, lasted 3 weeks
Review: I read all of these reviews before purchasing the MMP8500 and thought that I could work through any install problems. Install was a breeze, no problems and the way it reads like an additional drive you can export playlists from Musicmatch. First problem was in reading the instructions it says if you put the battery in backwards you can total the unit, which is a problem because it could be an honest mistake. I used it working out for a little over two weeks and it worked well until one day the volume was not high enough and I tried to turn it up and it did not turn up, so I tried to turn it down to see if the toggle was bad and eventually it turned all the way down and I could not raise the volume to recover. After using it, it breaking and I returning it, I can say this unit is very lightweight and cheap. The controls are simple but being all plastic it will not last the average person more than a year or in my case 3 weeks. Stick with IRiver or MPIO units.

Summary: good if you like disposable players
Review: I read the reviews and decided to try this player since it was on sale for $88. At first it worked out fine, although I would have to agree that setting FM station presets is a pain. The sound was just as good as my previous Rio 600. However, I found that it had problems randomly playing WMA files--it seemed to choose about six songs and just play those. Once I switched to mp3's I had no problems. But that lasted only another 4 or 5 excercise sessions--the last two times I used it, it wouldn't turn off, and I had to release the battery to get it to shut off. Now it doesn't start at all (and yes, I did have fresh batteries). After trying Memorex's wonderful *cough, cough* tech support and nothing working, I'm going to return this hunk of junk and get another Rio.

Summary: Not a Good Buy
Review: I recently bought this product after I had two RCA Lyras die on me. I thought that this was a good purchese but two days after I got it i changed my mind when it died on me. I do not think that the tecnology is good enough to make this a good purchese.

Summary: Biomorph Bio-degrading.
Review: I wish I could say that for the money, the biomorph is a great mp3 player, but since I actually got it for free, I'm somewhat biased in that department. However, I can say that within the three weeks that I've owned it, the biomorph has simply fallen apart. Let me first qualify by saying I don't take it with me to the gym, I don't strap it to my arm when rollerblading- none of that. I use it for listening to mp3's while on the subway and that's all. a very low-impact kind of interface. Given that, it has still managed to fall apart at the seems. For starters, the case it comes with is counterintuitive. Aside from being thin and flimsy (and outright unusable) its design by nature requires for it to be looped through your belt. It also covers up the loop hole in which you are expected to slip the included arm band into, causing you to only be able to use one or the other. Secondly, the headphones are constructed rather shabily. The nexus point where the left and right ear buds split off from each other is toggled with a sub-standard plastic aglet that has already slid off, revealing the exposed wires. In an attempt to resecure it, (which involved simply sliding it back down) I cracked it. Now a lame-o piece of scotch tape is the only thing keeping me from feeling the current that runs through it. Again, let me say: LOW IMPACT INTERFACE. I'm not doing jumping jacks, I'm not treating it like a cheap toy. I'm very responsible with my electronics and this thing falls apart like a pressed daisy. Thirdly, the thin metal clip that serves as the AAA battery's contact point has already broken off. This from changing the battery twice. Luckily for me the segment of it that broke off does not effect the actual circuitry, just my ease in lifting it up again to replace batteries. But make no mistake- it's a major inconvenience as this unit tends to go through its single AAA battery rather quickly. All of the above I can pretty much handle. As completely humiliating as it is to have a brand new piece of electronics constantly failing me, like that CD player that always skips, all of the above are actually "deal-with-able." After all, we mustn't look gift horses in the mouth. What I do find to be increasingly irritating though, is the number of times the player shuts itself off when I use the "lock" switch to keep that flimsy "forward/backward/pause" switch from shuffling my songs. Without fail, every time I lock the unit, the unit shuts itself off. It's a shame it advertises itself as a lock switch and not a power off switch. otherwise I might be pretty happy with the functionality.
In short, as grateful as I was to receive it, this mp3 player really is more hassle than its worth and I look forward to the day (not far now, I'm sure) when it breaks completely apart of its own accord so I don't have to make up a lously lie as to why I bought a new and better player with better sound quality, more memory and a more intuitive interface.

Summary: Cheap, small, and not an I-Pod.
Review: I'm a junior in high school and I love this thing. Everyone at school always raves about I-Pods but most of them have MP3 players that are under $100. Go figure. Anyway, My mom bought this one for me for an overpriced $152. She could have done better for that money. But I am a Cher fan, and in case no one has noticed, whoever makes up the CD's has a thing for putting the same songs on 3 or 4 CD's. With this in mind, it's great so long as you have Windows Media Player because, quite frankly, if you are computer illiterate this is a brilliant MP3 player. And this way all my cher songs can be crammed onto one memory card instead of me carrying all my CD's.

Summary: I've had no problem!
Review: I'm not sure what people are complaning about.
Opening the plastic box (the difficult part) took 15 minutes!
Check battery: less than 1 minute.
Attached to my PC with included USB: less than 1 minute. I didn't need to install the software. Just plug and play.
Only complaint is that FM reception could be better.
