A very good mp3 player

Doesn't get five stars because of the lack of radio and it I'd like it to have come with something I could put it in to go jogging. That being said. Its an excellent mp3 player small but with a AA battery instead of AAA. Excellent long playing time. No...

Great sounding but Windows Media Player 11 killed it.

We have owned this device since it came out. Recently, it stopped working as we remembered it. \n \nWhen you hook it up via USB cable, it would appear with the green icon in the lower right corner, and was recognized as a "Mass Storage Device." If you...

Robust!

I've had one of these for two and half years. I've dropped it, stepped on it, and yesterday it fell into a glass of water and sat there for about 2 minutes before I noticed. It still works! Battery life is as advertised. I love this thing.

Very durable mp3 player

I have put this mp3 through demanding use for well over a year, and am impressed enough that I'm considering buying another one and setting it aside for the day the one I have finally dies. No need to chime in with the other reviewers, as they explain...

Amazingly good sound for lower priced MP3 Player

I got one of these for my brother. Not only does it come with the best sounding ear buds of any player I have ever seen (Creative, iPod, iriver, etc.), the unit itself puts out a very high quality sound. I'm mostly an iriver fan, big time, but I was...

Product Specifications

At less than 3" wide, Panasonic MP3 players can be conveniently worn around your neck or easily stored inside just about any pocket, and houses 2GB of built-in memory. This ultra-compact player can store about 1000 MP3 files (64kbps).All it takes is just one AA alkaline battery (included) for you to enjoy up to 75 hours of music playback. Great for long trips or vigorous workouts. Just don't hurt yourself trying to outlast that battery.Advanced D.sound technology is comprised of four components that work together to elevate your audio experience to the next level. A Digital Amplifier helps reduce distortion and also helps you achieve crystal-clear sound even at higher volume levels. The S-XBS and Digital Audio Gain Control help to improve bass response at higher volume levels and MP3 Re-Master technology allows the listener to receive outstanding sound quality from compressed music files, such as MP3 and WMA.Microsoft PlaysForSure is a marketing certification given by Microsoft to media players that have been verified to work with Microsoft Windows, specifically Windows XP and newer releases. It is intended to inform consumers about what types of video and audio formats the digital audio player or video player will be able to play. This MP3 player also supports Windows Media Player (Version 10) Sync download function.
