Rating: Summary: Great 1st MP3 player for the price! Review: Although the Kaser YoFun-100 isn't quite as compact and data spacious as some other models, I don't know if you can beat it for the price and quality. Initially I had some problems with the formatting instructions, but a quick email and immediate response from Kaser pointed me in the right direction (impressive customer service-a big plus in my book). Make sure that when you first format the drive (it prompts you when you first plug it in) that you choose the "FAT" format. You will also have to reformat if you change the preset equilizer "modes" but fortunately it's a quick painless process. Here is my pro-con list: Pro 1. Inexpensive 2. lightweight 3. Easy to install and transfer files 4. Expandable smart media card slot Cons: 1. No strap or clips to attach it to your body (I plan to attach some velcro for running) 2. No low-battery warning 3. USB1 cable is a little slow for file transfer (other models use the newer, faster USB2) 4. Only expandable up to 128 Mb

Rating: Summary: Brings new meaning to SIMPLE and EASY TO USE! Review: I had shopped around before deciding to give this one a try. I found this very easy to use... no special programs (especially that obnoxious MusicMatch program). If you have Win2K or newer you need nothing else, the driver is built into the player. If you have Win98 you will need to install the driver (included). After that, it's drag and drop into the new "drive". Fast loadingp, good sound, easy to use. Has next and last song buttons, four preset EQ to choose from, and volume control. Does not have backlit or straps, but I didn't need them. I'm very pleased.
Rating: Summary: Good value Review: I just got mine last night. So far I'm very pleased with the value I expected. Pros: Cheap, compact, light, has dc input, and SmartMedia slot (this is a big plus). Data transfering works great. 4 equalizer settings. 3 playback modes. Very nice display. Cons: Can only play MP3 format (not WMA). AA battery died right after 6 straight hrs of playing MP3. No battery indicator. So so sound quality. You definitely will need a good headphone with mega bass and a 128 MB memory card.
Rating: Summary: Good price/ Bad player Review: I purchased this unit and i was not impressed.I took it home and it worked for about one month,then one day it stoped working.Connected to the USB PORT in the back of the computer,i noticed that it was not downloading right,so i found that the internal chip had been fried,and when i tryed to exchange it,it took forever to get good sevice for the technical support team.I also found that the E.Q. had no good sound, very little bass and the treble was to high. So anyone looking for their frist time digital portable mP3 player,My advice do not purchase this one, and don't let the price fool you. You get what you pay for.Look around for a Rio,or one like it for the same price,you will be happy you did!!!
Rating: Summary: What a horrible piece of garbage. Review: I wouldn't give this to someone unless I absolutely hated them. Even then, I would think of something worse to give them that was free, like herpes or setting their house on fire. Stear clear of this "MP3" player. Don't be a tightwad, get an Iriver or Ipod.
Rating: Summary: piece of junk with no support Review: Purchased the player and it worked fine for two months of low use. Then it stopped playing music. Can move files back and forth just fine. FAQ's at their site are pitiful so I wrote tech support- no answer in a month. I just wrote again. If you want to roll dice and hope it works then go ahead but if it doesn't you are up the creek with no paddle and no place to turn for help.
Rating: Summary: piece of junk Review: The yo fun is a piece of junk. The UI for the downloading software is terrible. It eats batteries.
