Summary: Good buy at the time
Review: Got a good deal on this at the time. The player is good for WMA and MP3, but the FM radio is weak. The main station near me is so strong, the unit cannot differ between other stations.

The other issue is that you cannot set up a play list externally from the player. You must download the files to the player then set up the play list. Not that this is bad, but I want it all! You can name the file alphabetically to get the list in a good order.

Overall it seems to be a good unit. I still do not like having to tote around the USB cable, but 10 hours of music, well I don't change it that often.

Summary: great at first...
Review: I purchased this player because it was a good deal for a 256MB player with a radio. The player worked fantastic at first, the size of the player is definitely a plus. However, after the second time that I tried to change the songs on the player, the port that the computer cable plugs into broke. I was unable to change songs after this, when I exchanged the player the computer would not recognize the new player, despite reinstalling software, etc. I would recommend seeking out another player if you intend on using this player on a daily basis. (The headphones also broke after a week.)

Summary: Great MP3 for the price!
Review: I recently purchased this MP3 player to take with me on my daily runs. I had looked at the iPod and although I am sure it is a great MP3 player I just couldn't see spending all that $$ on one. So, I bought this one with the convenience of it fitting comfortably in my hand. It works perfectly, is easy to install and use, and the battery life lasts a long time. Also, it holds plenty of songs (my husband also takes it with him to the gym). The only bad thing about it is that the headphones that it comes with are a bit cheap and created a static-y sound after a few days so I recommend you buy better headphone. Enjoy it, I do!!! I couldn't have gotten a better deal or MP3 player. Thanks!

Summary: Bad Design
Review: This MP3 Player uses a AAA battery. This is a terrible design decision. It severely curtails play life (by 1/3 to 1/2 compared to a AA) while the batteries themselves are not significantly cheaper than AA's. I have also had a hard time finding rechargeable AAA's compared to AA's. And while it sounds trivial, it is NOT minor that AAA batteries disappear much more easily that AA batteries at almost 3x the size. I bought 4 rechargeables shortly after getting this. A month later, 2 have disappeared. Did I mention AAA batteries are not notably cheaper than AA's?<br /> Dont buy this.
