Mach Speed 3" MP3 / MP4 Player TRIO-V430

Holds my papers down

The player arrived broken. The first time it was plugged into a USB port, the screen washed red. After that it refused to do anything. When plugged into a USB port again, the computer offers to find drivers for it, which it never does

decent but not the best Ipod substitute out there

if I could choose again, I probably would have gone with the refurb 8gb sandisc for $45 instead of the mach. You get what you pay for. if you can adjust to it's quirks, then the mach speed 3 will be perfectly suitable but it's not the best substitute...

good for the price, easy to navigate through the menus, good size, has an external speaker which doesn't have great sound quality but it doesn't necessitate earphones (like if you want someone to listen to a song but don't want their wax on your...

feels pretty cheap/not sturdy, only comes with 4GB internal memory, it's not great at interfacing with a micro SD card- you have to choose to play your music either on the card or from the internal memory. i don't think it saves your preferences when...

Horrible

Granted all the pieces are here but out of the box, full charge yielded five minutes of play time. Literally, it was timed. My advice, spend the extra coin for the Zune or a iTouch. Or buy something else please do, dont waste ur time, money and a...

It's great, but it broke!!!!

I want to return it for a replacement, but I'm past my 30 days. This sucks because she opened it yesterday (lol!). Now I'm hoping the company actually stand behind their warranty.

Plays video, plays music, drag and drop content. It's small and my daughter whom I bought it for simply loved it for the 1 day it worked

Headset jack stopped working. She opened it Christmas Day and it stopped working today! Hello. The other isssue is with the EBook Reader. I took an HTML file to Notepad and saved it as an ANSI file. Only the first 5 pages show up on this. The file...

Bought two for the kids this Christmas. Both worked for less than a hour. Won't hold a charge. One dud I can handle, but two!? Neither works unless plugged in to the charger, and after several hours of charging, neither will turn on.I will be returning...

Better Than Expected

I have been using this in a sauna at 130 deg F. I think it is rated for a high temp of about 104 deg F. Too hot to hold in bare hands, it has performed flawlessly and as advertised. I use it for podcast books (mp3) and videos.

Okay

It does it's job, altough at this price you might just get a better one that has more options

It doesn't really have much to offer, feels really cheap, and it just died after a few months on me, I only used it when I ran! You gotta make play lists in your PC, can't make them in the mp3
