Used at the Gym [Posted on 2007-05-10]
I bought this to use at the gym. I'm glad I bought it. The most important thing is to use good headphones. I used it with some cheap headphones at first and it was nails on a chalkboard, then I plugged in my Audio Technica ATH-M30's into it and it was a completely different story. If you put songs on it for the gym and can hit play and just let them go this player will work well for you. If you need to adjust the volume or change the song every 4 minutes this probably isn't the best thing to get. Overall I think it's a really good value.

So Far, So Good [Posted on 2007-06-14]
This is my 1st MP3 player. It was the cheapest one with the best ratings I could find. I didn't want to pay for features I didn't need. I had an initial problem getting it to work...turned out to be my mistake...I hadn't noticed that the battery came in a shrink-wrapped sleeve that had to removed(duh). But after that, it was fine. I use it primarily for quick&easy data file transfer between our two PC's, but the sound is fine through my Etymotic head phones for music, too. It did freeze up once (couldn't get the buttons to respond). I removed the battery, put it right back and then everything worked fine again. If not for that, I would have given it 5 stars. I'm a little nervous about the few reviewers who say the thing broke down quickly, but if this thing lasts a year, it will be worth it.

I had it for about 3 months and it finally started skipping non stop so I got a new one but not the same brand. Dont drop it a lot and be careful where you put it

love it [Posted on 2007-07-21]
I bought this for my husband so he could listen to tunes while mowing lawns. It doesn't hold a lot, but enough for what he does. It was easy to use. He is pleased with it, and so am I.

Totally Fair for the Price [Posted on 2007-08-14]
I bought mine over a year ago. I've changed out the music three times, run through several battery changes and even dropped it once. It still works perfectly. I did throw away the really crappy earphones that come with it, replaced them with a better quality set, about $20, which I can always use in other ways if this gadget finally does die. The buttons all work, just the basic stuff: skip forward, skip back, +vol, -vol and off. What else do I really need? The sound is fine, too.
Like someone else, I took away one star for a temporary freeze-up, but like him, it started up again just fine with a battery change.
(Strange, though, because the first battery was new, and had plenty of juice.)
Overall it sounds like they have some quality control issues, as a lot of people are getting units that just plain don't work, BUT if you dodge that bullet, you get a very decent little mp3 player for an amazingly good price.
