Easy to use but some serious flaws

 

Easy to use but some serious flaws

This is my 2nd Mp3 player. My first is a San Disk Mp3 Companion which worked fine but has some of the same problems as this one. First this unit does sound good and the addition of the FM tuner and the Voice recorder is a nice touch. If you buy this...

Extremely inconvenient & horrible!!!

I had no problem getting songs on this player. Just used drag & drop in Windows Explorer. I never even installed the software they included. It even shows the extra memory as a separate drive, so it was no problem to divide the music up. My problems...

It has its good points...

 

I have had this little player for about 6 months now, and have found some good things and some frustrating things about it. It is a solid state memory player, with 128mb onboard, and was supplied with an extra 128mb Secure Digital SD memory card. ...

Replaceable AAA battery, SD memory card, neck strap and arm band included.

Connectivity problems with USB, difficult to navigate within a track.

Surprising performance

 

Surprising performance

This unit has surprisingly good features for the discounted price that I paid (sub-$100). Decent audio, light weight, acceptable supplied earbuds, and handy neckstrap + armband made a good package. Pluses are that it can be used to hold data files as...

Good, durable MP3 player. Center button is easy to use, makes things very simple to move through. Nice display as well. Great for those workouts.

I do not like this one at all

 

I do not like this one at all

I had this music player before, and I have to admit, it's pathetic. The "256MB" it supposedly has on the player is only 128MB. The reason I do not like it is because it had erased all of my music when I didn't even do anything to it.

Not so good....

 

Not so good....

The button in the middle annoys me. In order to use the back (or up) button, you must push it in just the right spot. It takes me, on average, about three or four tries to get that button to do what I want it to do. It either pauses the song or goes...

Simple to use, works like they say

Purchased for use @ healthclub. Upgraded the drivers and works like a charm. Allows me to download unlike other users and plays exactly the songs I want. If people actually READ instructions, bad reviews on good products would not happen. I have used...
