Summary: Not what we expected...!
Review: Disappointed, this is just a toy for small children. The quality of the sound is not that good at all. It eats up the beginning of the songs sometimes. Bought a D-link MP3 player and What a difference!!!You dont get what you pay with this one. Get a D-Link DMP instead,they are higher quality engineering, and look Cool!!! ...or even a Rio is little better!

Summary: JamP3 Player
Review: Everythihng they say on here is true but I can handle the OK sound quality and volume, because I bout extra memory and everything but let me WARN YOU! Do NOT under any circumstances upgrade your MUSICMATCH software. The website says MUSICMATCH doesn't even support your JAMP3 player, and I've been listening to the same 11 songs for over 3 years. This unit was given to me as a gift, but it was $100 and I hate that my aunt spent that much money for a deficient product. :(

Summary: Please don't buy this!
Review: For your own good, do not buy this! if i could have given it 0 stars i would have! It drains batteries very quickly, i could only put about 3 songs on it at "cd quality" (which it wasn't) and the songs got messed up and interchanged. I have a mac, so i couldn't upgrade it because "it currently does not support macs". it doesn't come with mac software, that u had to download from their site. i tried to download it many times, but it didn't work! the quality was horrible, i had to turn the earphones a certain way to hear anything at all. i desperately wanted an iPod, but couldn't really justify spending [amt] for it. I should have after all. This mp3 player...!

Summary: Look elsewhere for an MP3 player
Review: I bought a JaMP3 and it is a very poor product. First it has only 16 MB of memory which is not enough to store any appreciable amount of songs. So you have to buy an MMC card which is no big deal. Unfortunately, KB Gear's jamonline.com web page states SanDisk 16, 32, and 64 MB MMC memory cards work in the JaMP3. Well....they don't. I bought a 64 MB MMC card and the JaMP3 only formatted it to 16 MB. I called the tech support and they had heard of the problem, didn't know what to do to fix it, and said they had no intention of seeking a solution. Finally, the JaMP3 takes TWO batteries. The battery life in the JaMP3 is VERY short. When I transfer MP3 files from the PC to the JaMP3 via USB, it takes forever. I'm loading 16 MB plus 16 MB in the MMC card (not 64 MB like it should) and it is so s.l.o.w. it is nearly painful. Anyway, it is draining battery life. So a set of batteries has to last through loading 32 MB of songs, then playing the songs. The batteries bearly last through playing the songs two time through.

Summary: Great, but needs to be louder.
Review: I bought a silver one, but it's built the exact same way the blue one is, and it isn't specifically for kids like it says under "features". I bought this because I just didn't want to spend $130 or more on an MP3 player. It does everything it should flawlessly, but I wish it were just a little louder. Which is a small detail considering it's amazingly low price. I don't use the earphones it came with because I had better ones from a portable CD player. The software isn't bad, I can use it easily. It has USB connection which is also something I didn't expect from an MP3 player this inexpensive. I'd say it's a pretty good buy, the only thing is the volume could stand to go higher. Of course this one draw back is tolerable for this item, you shouldn't expect to get a Cadillac at a Chevy price. If you want a top of the line MP3 player get it, if you want affordable quality, get this one.

Summary: Solid cheap MP3 Player w. MMC expansion
Review: I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this MP3 player on clearance at [a local retailer] the other night for under $20.00. I was most impressed that it's memory is expandable. Fortunately I hadn't read some of the other reviews here or I might not have purchased it. First I must tell you that I am afflicted with ETF(Electronic Trinket Fever), so it was hard to justify another MP3 player. This is number three. I told my wife I bought this one because I am a firefighter and I paid too much for the others to drag them around with me at work. Sounded good. I'm running Windows 2000; when I plugged the standard USB cable into my computer, I thought I'd have to use the CD to get a driver. Windows recognized it immediately, the add new device wizard did it's thing for about 30 seconds and the unit showed up in Windows Explorer as a removable drive. I didn't have to do a thing. I dragged 16MBs of MP3s from one of my directories onto the new drive and about a minute later I was playing music. The first thing I noticed before I hit the play button was a soft hiss. When the music started playing the hiss became almost imperceptible. I'm not really sure why some people have had so much difficulty with this unit. I'm using two alkaline batteries from a $10 Costco 48 pack and they've been going strong at 80% volume for at least three hours now with 3/4 left still showing on the built in meter. I'm using 128kbs files instead of the 32kbs files recommended in the manual; they probably take less power to decode. I don't like ear bud headphones, so I'm using a standard set from a portable CD Player. The volume is plenty loud for me. Some people are saying that it takes a long time to load the memory; I'm going to guess they are ripping from CD using the included software instead of dragging MP3s into the unit using Windows Explorer. Either that or there is a problem with their system setup. For me it loaded in less than a minute; which MB for MB is about what you'd expect from a USB1 device. Don't use the included software and drivers if you don't have to. When you see the unit as a removable drive in Windows Explorer, make a copy of the .bin file you find in case you accidentally erase it later. The unit won't function without that .bin file. In conclusion:
The unit is slightly larger than I expected. There is a slight hiss. The play/stop button sticks out a little so when you put it in your pocket it sometimes starts and stops when you don't intend for it to. I don't know about the customer support, but I believe it's probably bad... How many cheap off brand Chinese devices have you bought lately that had good customer support? Buy it from a place with a good return policy in case you have problems. Overall I like the unit a lot. It's cheap, tough, expandable, and despite a slight hiss the sound quality is very good; it even has several equalization settings.
