Summary: this is great
Review: I have been considering getting an mp3 player for a while, except i was never really impressed by the size of all of them out there. i think the first small ones I saw were the panasonic ones, but they were around 300 dollars. the size and the price impressed me as well as the ability to expand with mmc cards. The controls are simple but what else do i need besides play, stop, forward, back? it sounds great but I recommend getting different headphones, i found the ones it came with uncomfortable. The little plastic case could be better. I would prefer a leather one. There is support for windows xp, but everyone looks in the wrong place. Don't look at the RCA site but the MusicMatch site. This would be even better if I could download mp3 to the computer form the player itself. I would recommend this player to anyone who wants a small basic mp3 player for a small price.

Summary: Good, except for MusicMatch ...
Review: I don't think there's anything I can say about the player that hasn't been said already - it's great!
My only beef is that they include MusicMatch on the CD for uploading music to the player. As soon as I installed MM, it started nagging me for my personal info .. WTF? Not only that, but everytime I'd shut down the program, it would constantly nag me to update to the ... version which had a bunch of extras that I didn't need or want. I finally went and downloaded ... for the program just so it would leave me alone.

Summary: xp drivers
Review: We purchased a Kazoo for our daughter at Christmas because of it's size and memory size. The price was good as well. We are running xp and like other people foud out, the drivers were not compatible. I spent many days searching the internet for drivers and e-mailed rca. The response was that they are in the process of making/building drivers but did not know when they would be available. I then had a friend search for the drivers and he did find them. So, I am happy to say that we can run the Kazoo with windows xp. The only other comment I have is that the batteries do not seem to last long.

Summary: Love it!!!!!
Review: I was given this MP3 player by my teenage son for my birthday last week after hinting around that I wanted a walkman. When I first got it, I thought "how can anything this tiny be any good????". Well, I was quite pleasantly surprised! The software loaded swiftly and smoothly into our Windows 98 SE operating system, and it even came with MusicMatch 6.1. I immediately tried it out by popping a couple of cd's into the cd-rom drive, transferring what I wanted to MusicMatch's library and then selecting the tracks I wanted to download to the kazoo and...VOILA!...I had cd-quality music that sounded GREAT in no time!! With something this small, I can download all my favorite sounds and take it to work and keep it conspicuously out of sight of the boss! This is a powerful little gadget and I thank my son a hundred times over for giving one to me!

Summary: THIS PRODUCT NOW SUPPORTS XP!!!
Review: A lot of the reviews here knock this player because at the time it did not work on XP. There is now a plugin for musicmatch. ... . Anyway, I like the player a lot. It's size is very nice. My main reason for getting it is to have about 8 or 9 songs (at 128 bit rate) while jogging plus it is small enough to either slip into your pocket or put on the included neckstrap. The only reason I am writing this review is because so many people gave it a bad score because it didn't work on XP for them. The packaging does not say it supports XP!

Summary: Great Player
Review: I recently bought the Kazoo and I am thrilled with it. I bought a 32mb mmc and it doubled the amount of songs i was able to put on it. The software was very easy to use as well as the player itself. By reducing the kbps of each song to 64kbps I was able to put a little over 2 hours (30 songs) onto the player. It reduced the quality but it still sounds amazing. The only fault I can find is that it drains the batteries kind of quickly. I reccomend this player to any first time user.

Summary: For non-XPers, this little bugger is awesome.
Review: As I'm sure by now, you've heard that the k@zoo isn't XP compatible, so I'm not going to get into it. For those of us who don't have XP... it's great. It met all my requirements. It's small, small's not the word, it's tiny. Its memory is upgradable with equally small MMC's which are relatively cheap and available, unlike the Rio "backpacks" I just wish they came in 132MB. It uses commonly available AAA's. The battery life is pretty good. I haven't clocked it, but I can get about 6 hours out of a pair of AAA's. Best of all, you can have one for under a hundred bucks and batteries are even included. So, if you're not running XP, I say snap one up. Especially if you're looking for your first unit. Who knows, maybe RCA will get on the stick and come up with drivers for it.

Summary: RCA drops the ball on this one
Review: Run don't walk from this product. It was heavily hyped this Christmas but despite it's strong features it does not work with XP. Imagine getting a new computer loaded with XP and a cool MP3 player only to find that it doesn't even work with the O/S loaded on your machine. RCA drops the ball by saying it's not sure if it will support XP. What a cop-out. Run don't walk from RCA PC related products. They just don't get it...

Summary: Good Player but some faults
Review: Simply put, I have enjoyed this player. I have had problems finding a variety of software to support loading the player, so I've been stuck with the plugin for Real Jukebox. Not too bad, but not the one I use on a regular basis. Loading time was slow with Real J. but the player holds ample songs if you are willing to reduce quality to roughly FM quality. Which is fine for me for the money. The little plastic back it shoves in to attach to the armband is pressed plastic and is sharp on the edges. It's also a little touchy -- I ripped the snaps off within the first week. Ug. THERE IS ONE MAJOR WEEKNESS OF THIS PRODUCT: I upgraded to XP and could no longer load the player. After contacting RCA their response was: "we are not sure we are going to support XP". What a bad answer. I will NOT buy another PC related item from RCA after this. If they attribute so little importance to driver management, this can only be indicative of what they will do across the board. BE CAREFULL. I'm now shopping for another player because I can't load the Kazoo anymore. I suppose I'll ebay this Kazoo so go there and see if you can get one for 1/2 price first!
