Summary: Good buy if you like electronic junk!
Review: I used this product 5 hours before the batteries died. Pathetic in my opinion my Sony cassette player with moving parts lasts 25 hours with continuous use. The DSP modes are pathetic, the sound quality is terrible. The only way I could listen to any of the music was in the Classic DSP mode. There's not enough amplification to make some songs loud enough. The downloads were pretty fast, about 32 seconds for a 4mb song with ECP enabled. The player's mp3 internal software froze 3 times when I was listening to the player. Making all buttons stop functioning and I finally had to remove the batteries to reboot it. When it the software froze it got stuck on the same song. Very anonying. I think most will be unhappy with this item. Although the price and rebate offer isn't to bad for a 64mb player. However if your going to spend 10 bucks a month in batteries it ain't really worth it. Not to mention if it freezes everytime you use it. There wasn't much documentation with it, the uploading and downloading software for the player wasn't that great. Pretty pathetic actually. In short I was very unhappy with this player and I'd recemmend people look for a better more reliable item, because this player is pretty much a piece of junk.

Summary: Good Player - Rotten Documentation and Support
Review: I just received this product today and I am listening to it now. My experience is as follows: 1) Installed software and connected unit. Software would not recognize the player. 2) Reconfigured parallel port for ECP. Followed documentation exactly. Unit still not recognized. Tested port - port OK. 3) Called BestData support and after being disconnected several times I was told it would cost ... to find out why it wasn't working. Paid ... to have tech read the manual to me and tell me to download the latest software. 4) Downloaded software - didn't help. Went to BestData site ... to find my answer buried in a FAQ. A step not in the documentation and unknown to the tech support person, "You must click on the File menu and choose Connect And List before you can transfer files to the Cabo. " Also, make sure the "HOLD" button is off when attempting to activate the unit. 5) Finally got unit to download files. Surprisingly quick for a parallel connection. Once I got it working, I was impressed with it overall. I've been listening for several hours and the battery indicator still shows fully charged. Holds 12 songs and sounds excellent to me. Highest volume hurts my ears! Very light and somewhat cheap feel to the case but for ... with the rebate, it appears to be the best deal around on a 64MB unit. Don't bother calling tech support, just muddle through the inept documentation as best you can.

Summary: Parallel Port connections ...
Review: The player is great. Just great, especially if you use rechargeable batteries. The parallel port connection is the worst though. I've had the unit for over a year and for the past 4 months I've been unable to upload mp3s to it. Go for a unit with a USB connection instead and save your money.

Summary: Brilliant, AND HELP FOR OTHERS
Review: Right, I only need 96 mb I have a spare card i also use for my camera, when i first bought it i kept getting errors, do you know why, nothing with the product its actually very simple DONT GET A REFUND You need to ctrl+alt+del and get rid of any programs you dont need, all you need for the cabo is explorer, loadqm and systray, everything else can go, apart from this page ;) Then you open CABO DESK and connect and list, drag and drop what you want and its perfect, no skips and the headphones and sound is great, the only downpart is the body, which explains the 4*, be careful with the body because ive already broken the hold button and somehow broken the battery cover. ... Hope ive helped you.

Summary: Many problems
Review: The Cabo MP3 player is NOT what I expected. The company that produces the player (Best Data) has no help or troubleshooting on their sight. I bought a 64 mb memory card for it, and It wouldn't work. This puzzled me, and I looked all over to find the answer. I finally found it. It only supports up to 32 mb memory! This site told me that 64 would work with it. Apparently not. Also, it skips when I listen to recordings. (Not good quality one's either.) The cover for it, isn't very durable. I now have to be careful where the batteries go because a little tab broke off of it. All together, I think that an MP3 player is a good buy, but not this brand.

Summary: Great player
Review: I've had the player for a little over a year. I've had no problems other the instructions don't eplain much in detail. The batteries probably last about 8 hours, maybe even a little less. I bought rechargable batteries and that problem is taken care of. I use it for jogging and cycling, the sound is great although changing the dsp (rock, pop...sounds) didn't really make a difference. I fooled around with the recorder a couple of times but don't really have a use for it. I just use it for the music. With all the issues I've heard on other players, I'm completely satisfied with mine.

Summary: What a crappy MP3 player
Review: Don't waste your money[...]. Slow download, barely able to hold 12 songs, uses a batteries like it is free.[...]

Summary: It's an Ok maching
Review: This mp3 player works pretty well. It's easy to use but there are some minor problems. First of all you have to download the music through the printer port so you have to change cables often, and it doesn't support wma so you can only hold about 20 songs. There is no way to use an adapter with it so the batteries don't last to long. It's a good buy if you don't plan to use it for more then an hour.

Summary: Great player for a small price
Review: The Cabo has been our introduction to MP3 players and for the price and the ease of use I have to say it was a great buy. We gave the player to our teenage daughter as a gift and she loves it and everywhere she takes it the people who see want one too.
We had some help getting started from another site that rated the player and gave some info. because they felt that the manual left out some important details. Such as the player has to be on before connecting the parallel cable from the computer to the player. I was concerned that the parallel would be a slow download but it is quite fast. Overall we are very pleased with the Cabo and highly recommend it.
