I bought this player to replace my old Sony mp3 disk player that I had previously lost. The set-up for this player was very simple. My desktop and laptop easily recognized the device when it was connected. The music and photo files flowed easily from using either WMP and RealPlayer. The sound through the earbuds was better than expected and the operation is so simple to figure out, even without the quick start guide. Yes, the screen is kind of small for photos, but absolutely great for scrolling through song files. A pretty good model for the price.

At first this product worked well for me. It was fairly simple to set up, and played well. But after a few months, it started to fall apart. The battery needs constant replacement, and the battery lasts only a couple hours at best. I like to listen to music during classes and at work, and also at the gym, but there is never enough battery life to get me through the day.

WITH THE HELP OF WINDOWS XP AND WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11.....DOWNLOADING WAS A BREEZE. WHEN I PLUG IT TO MY COMPUTER IT'S AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZED. DOWNLOADING QUITE SIMPLE. I TRULY WISH IT CAME WITH A USB PORT AND WALL CHARGER. I HAD TO PURCHASE A CHARGER FOR MY HOME WHEN MY COMPUTER WAS OUT OF SERVICE. AS WITH ANY MAN MADE ITEM IT WILL PROBABLY HAVE IT'S GLICHES. I'M NOT WORRIED I PURCHASED A PRODUCT REPLACEMENT PLAN FOR TWO YEARS. ALTHOUGH IT'S PERFORMANCE IS GREAT IT IS HARD TO FIND A CARRYING CASE FOR IT.

I bought this product on my birthday, i was so excited, but then after a couple of days i realized, that i needed a more batteries!..i didn't realize how important this feature was until then. So i grew accostumed to constantly buy ing new batteries. But when i took it along with me, on me trip to another country, it died on the ride to the airport. I went through maybe 30 batteries during the cousre of 4 days, until i finaly just gave up. This product is unrealibe, and freezes up, at least 5 a week. But i guess i got what i asked for, in terms of the price. Spend a little extra when it comes to mp3s, its worth the price and the time.

I am an avid "reader of reviews" prior to purchasing electronics, but I went with my gut and bought this for my daughter's 9th birthday...At that time, I was naive to the MP3 world and was suprised to learn that a wall charger was not included. It is easy to navigate and download onto,the screen is very bright and the sound was good...when it worked. I own this product for 9 months and now need to replace it as the sound no longer works correctly(it was never damaged in any way). It feeds with static into only 1 earphone.. plus the FM stero never had any type of reception. I don't feel it was worth the[$] I paid for it almost a yr ago[...]

This is a great player for me at work. I plug it into an FM transmitter, and I can listen to it throughout the shop without having to wear headphones. Very easy to use, and the battery lasts a couple of shifts before it needs to be recharged. I also like the microSD expansion slot.

With my mp3 player, I tried a few different pairs of headphones, and the right side was the only side that played. However, both sides worked for about 8 months. However, I still would definately recommend it to a friend.

I just got this today for my birthday, and so far it's working pretty well. At first, it confused me, but then I figured out how to rip songs off of my CDs, then transfer them to the player. I also used Napster and that was really easy. One thing that bothers me is that the screen isn't the best and the album art appears washed out, but I didn't buy it for the album art. I probably won't be transferring photos to the player because the screen is too small. Overall, it's a good player and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a small player for a reasonable price.

I never had any problems with this MP3 player. It never froze, very easy to put music on it, worked great with a FM transmitter for the car, and I could easily skip a song if I didn't want to hear it (which seems to be a big issue with most players. However I didn't actually realize that it was such a great player until it was stolen and I started looking to purchase another one. I would say that this player is definitely worth the money.

Bottom Line:

Received as a gift. This toy froze up when powered on and I had to remove and replace the battery to get it going. After downloading my mp3 files, there was a problem with output through the included ear buds. It would fade in and out and I had to pull the ear phone jack in and out to get one channel or the other, not both.
Otherwise easy to use. For the money it should perform well out of the box. I will try one more before moving on to another brand.

On the first try I installed the software and it worked fine. Then my laptop stopped recognizing it. So I attempted to install the software a second time. I was unable to install the software for the player. I called customer support and they told me that it was my laptop. I returned it. I will not buy a replacement from the same manufacturer.
