Do not purchase

 

Player was used moderately over a period of 9 months. One day it just stopped working. Would not charge, would not turn on. Not recognized by windows. Spend a little more money and by a known and trusted brand of MP3 player.

Epic Fail

 

The battery lasts inconsistently. It may last 3 hours or just 20 minutes. Even when allowed to charge overnight, it will cut off at 30 - 45 minutes.

Product is a disater

 

User interface is terrible. I couldn't make it work and called tech support. They gave me instructions which resulted in the irreversible erasure of the product firmware then said my only recourse is to return the product.
