Consumer review (newegg.com)
There are GREAT things to be said for this player. First off, it holds so much music for it's price range. You get roughly the same space as a DVD (about 125mb of that 5gb is used for system). Sound quality is great, you can customize the equalizer if...

I found the player to be of extemely high quality. The joy stick worked all the time for me and was extremely easy to get used to. Holds alot of music and the play quality is quite good. Only thing I would like changed is a bigger lcd. Other than that...

I have wanted an mp3 player for awhile and was waiting for the right one to pop up and this one is it. This player is a great deal and comes with everything one needs. The joystick isn't as difficult as some say and the battery life is great. You will...

I just got this thing today, and let me tell you, it's great. I got it two days eariler then when it was suppose to get here, which made me really happy. It's smaller than an iPod, cheaper than an iPod, and for me is better then an iPod. For the price...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
The player over-all is good. The joystick-style navigator is okay, it's easy to press a button you didn't mean to. The only other downside I've seen to this player is you can't browse music by the folder you've copied it over as. You only have options...
