Summary: pretty good
Review: this player is very well worth the price. it sounds very nice if you buy better headphones. i had no problems at all installing the software and drivers. i think all in all, i was able to begin listening to my player with 10 songs (@ 96 kbps) in it within 5-10 minutes. although the player is truly small, i think the picture here is slightly deceiving. the part where the batteries are inserted in the back potrudes slightly outwards such that the player isn't flat. if you look very carefully at the picture, you'll see that it curves in the back. also, besides the not so hot headphones, the case that they give you is pretty ugly. it's all clear with two buttons (like metal buttons on a jacket). but since the case is all clear and the player so small, the buttons are comparably big, obvious, and ugly. that's why i don't even bother using it. the player has all the basic features and the following:
dsp (flat, bass, pop, rock, jazz)
mode (shuffle, repeat, both)
lock
expansion slot (up to 128 mb = 128 + 32 internal = 160 mb)there is no resume feature nor a backlit lcd (just a regular one). i use this player for running, walking to class, and when i'm doing chores around the house. the battery life is very good. with 2 AAA batteries, i usually get about 8-10 hours of life. i haven't really dropped it much, except in the house where there's carpet, but so far no problems whatsoever. for the price, this player is a pretty good buy. i would recommend getting a cooler case if you want to go running and strap it to your arm. else, just slip it in your pocket and you barely feel that it's there.

Summary: GET THIS ONE - PRICE AND QUALITY
Review: I wanted an MP3 Player for running and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Also, I know the ones with the built-in FM will get cheaper as time goes by, so after reading many user ratings and since there was a [$$$] rebate, ... I decided to get this one. It is sooooo awesome! The sound and size of this player are great! It blew me away from what I was expecting at this price. The thing with Windows XP - The MusicMatch software (ver 7.1) from the CD it came with did not work. Instead ... download the newer version 7.5 for free. Also, it is a 32mb, but you can buy a card and pop in more memory. I am very happy with this player and highly highly recommend getting it, it is definitely more bang for your buck! ...
