1.0 out of 5 stars Sadly disappointing, May 24, 2011

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I truly hate to give bad reviews, especially to products with such promise. At first, I was excited to see that this Mp3 player not only would play my music but would allow me to listen to the radio, too. It's something I kind of missed when listening to my iPod. But, unfortunately, not much worked well.

Of course, I tried out the radio first. No go. I couldn't get any of the stations in town to turn in without static. For many of the stations, I couldn't get it to stop on the exact station number, though that may have been due to the touch screen. Or not.

Then I tried out some of my music. Maybe I'm spoiled but as I listened to the player, I felt like I was back in the 80's, listening to my portable cassette player with its not-so-clear headphones or the cheap radio in my parents' Pinto (yes, we had a Pinto. Don't judge.). No matter what I did or what headphones I used, the sound quality remained subpar.

Trying to use the touchscreen controls was just...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This little MP3 is perfect for someone like me. I don't really care if the picture quality is good, clear, crisp etc. What I wanted was something I could use when I go running. Just some tunes to make the time pass! And this little easy to use MP3 was perfect! Very easy to upload songs onto, the thing basically runs itself.

Very lightweight so I don't feel like I have an old walkman with me. I haven't had many problems as written in the other reviews about having troubles with the screen. I am sure if you are an avid user you will know more of what they should and shouldn't do. However for someone like me who really just wanted to have something to run with -- it is perfect! I know most at the stores run $80 to $100, so I think the price for this MP3 is very fair!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Do not expect an Apple product, and you might like this. It will be frustrating to people who are used to everything instant and the quickest of connections. On opening and examining it, it seems a bit light, so I would be careful not to drop it. After charging, it seemed to me that the features were fairly easy to access. As I said, it is not for someone who gets frustrated easy, you can't whizz around with a fingertip. I like all the multi-use features, so if that's your priority, this will be fine for a careful user.
