Problematic [Posted on 2007-01-17]
This things sucks literally--- the life out of any battery. The battery it came with died in 1.5 hours. I have tried three other batteries of different brands (one cheap Big Lots brand, an Energizer and a Duracell) and they get sucked dry quickly. Sometimes, right after you insert a new battery, it will already show that it has been depleted on the Mp3's battery meter. It has other good qualities but if you listen to it on the move a lot like me, consider something with better battery life.
Not good for Podcasting [Posted on 2007-02-22]
This MP3 player is good for listening to music but not for books or podcasts. It says that it uses usb 2.0 but the upload times are much longer than for other mp3 players I've used. My main problem is that if you listen to large mp3 files (over 40 mins) and then shut off the player it resets and takes you back to the begining of the file. Then if you try to use the fast forward it moves very slow. You might have to hold the ff button down for 10 minutes to move ahead 30. It also seems to burn through batteries much faster than other mp3 players.
wish i coud enjoy it more often... [Posted on 2007-06-13]
I cannot use it for longer than a half hour without having to replace the battery! There's no way to rearrange the playlist so I have to scroll through all the songs to find the one i want. The sound quality is good but it's not convenient.
Eats Batteries [Posted on 2007-12-28]
Works fine, sounds fine (although like most cheap players it's not loud enough), but eats batteries like crazy. I honestly can't believe they even put this thing on the market. If you won a lifetime supply of free batteries on a game show at some point, this might be the player for you. Otherwise, try something else. I just replaced this with a Sony that gets 35 hours of playing time from a full charge.
Do Not Waste Your Money [Posted on 2008-01-11]
I gave this product to my 15 year old son for Christmas. Last week, he loaded his music onto it. He used it for 3 days. Yes, it goes through batteries quickly. However, the biggest problem was that on day 3, as he was putting it into his pocket, the display cracked. I was watching him and he was not being rough with it. It just cracked and can no longer be read. The menu is worthless. He was so upset. This seems to be a serious design flaw. I don't think putting it into a pocket is a misuse which a product can not be expected to withstand. This was a total waste of money.
