Summary: Unethical Company 2005-01-04
Comment: Mine broke withing 5 minutes of use. It took me several days and three emails to get in touch with somebody from JetAudio. Finally I got a RMA and sent the unit back to them. They sent it back to me unrepaired with no explaination. They will not refund my money or fix the unit. What a rip off company. Don't be a sucker like I was.

Summary: Doesn't work 14 months later 2004-07-21
Comment: It worked great up to a few weeks ago. The warranty is only good for a year and 14 months after I purchased the CW200, I can only listen to the radio. I can't add any songs to the player. I'm waiting to see if the company can/will suggest anything other than throwing the unit away.

Summary: Not bad, not great 2004-01-19
Comment: I need to listen to music at the gym while doing aerobics. For a long time I used a portable CD player to accomplish this. However, developments in technology have brought us the more practical MP3 players. After reading reviews on several of these, I opted to buy this one. For the most part I really enjoy it. The sound quality is great and I like the album feature as sometimes I want to listen to a completely different kind of music. It is amazingly lightweight, so much so that I don't even bother with the armband. I just put it in my pocket or attach it to my waistband.The reasons I could not give this player a higher rating are the following:
1) Setting the preset FM stations was a lesson in frustration.
2) The display is pretty small and can be difficult to read.
3) The download software does not allow one to arrange the tunes other than the order (alphabetical) that they are in when you open the folder. In other words, if you want to download a CD's tunes in the same order as they are on the CD, you have to first download them to the player, then arrange them in the preferred order. For me, this is a significant drawback.
4) As another reviewer mentioned, the USB port on the player is not accessible with the cover on. So, everytime you want to download new tunes you have to unplug the earphones and take it out of the case then, reverse the procedure to get up and running again. As long as you don't mind these inconveniences, this is a good little, player. It is particularly better than lugging around a CD player.

Summary: Cannot convert encrypted WMA files 2003-12-31
Comment: Most music websites download files in an encrypted WMA format. The software that accompanies this product cannot convert these files to an MP3 format. Unless you want to just convert your CDs to mp3, this product is useless.

Summary: Hard drive or Flash memory MP3 players.. a review 2003-12-19
Comment: Okay. Here is a write up, that I did, on the comparisons/contrasts on MP3 players. Mainly, the Harddrive versions (I.E. Rio Riot/Apple IPOD -both of which I own) and the flash memory type... (I.E. Memorex 3642 Mp3 Player, of which I own as well).
What prompted this little jaunt (of which you may send to as many people as you like) My (expensive) Apple IPOD died during a sync last month. Just me copying files over to it, and the battery ran out of juice. I would have not attempted to copy music had I known the battery was low, but the battery read FULL STRENGTH. Anyhoo, I called Apple, they said return it for maintenance.
I did. Sent it back.
They returned it, still broke. To my suprise, there is only a TEN DAY return policy. TEN DAYS. I did not realize this at all... and will not ever buy another apple product. So, after a month or so of messing around trying to find another MP3 player... I decided to go with a flash memory MP3 player, the ones that use memory sticks. SO, here are the pro and cons of these devices. Pro's for the Memory Stick Mp3 players -Cheaper. WAY CHEAPER than Hard drive types. -If you go into music match and file convert to MP3 Pro and shrink the size of your MP3 to like, say 3o percent... you can really make a good Kompression. Example. My Memorex MP3 player has 32mbs of memory on board. It is expandable to 256mb. 32 mb will basically let you put one cd's worth of music. It is easy to put music on and off of them, due to your computer reading the USB as just another hard drive, so you drag and drop to put on, delete them to take them off. But, after you shrink your files to MP3 Pro 30 percent, you can put twice as many. So, basically a 256mb chip will allow me to put 208 songs on my little less than palm size MP3 player. And it wieghs like 3 ounces. - More on memory. These little chips are the size of the upper part of your thumb, at least my thumb anyway. They come in 128mb, 256mb, 512mb and even though there aren't any MP3 machines out there to handle them YET, you can even buy a 1.5gig thumb size chip thingy. Considering the size of the chips and the shrinking kompression I told you about earlier, I could shrink my whole KOLLEKTION down to 10 of those 1.5gig chips. At the current shrink rate I am at 5 DVD's, which are way bigger and more fragile than these little chips. - Not as fragile as hard drive type. You can drop one of these chips and not scratch it. I wouldn't stomp on one with my foot, nor get one in water, but they are encased in plastic. Ruggedish. - Batteries last for like two days. There isn't much going on here, no moving parts, no laser or hard drive to put power to. Most of these flash Memory types have a single AA battery. I use a rechargeable type, so we are talking very low cost here.
In comparison to the hard drive types, where you will get a solid 8 hours of playing, this really whupps up. - Size. Small. Very small. Mine is three inches by three inches. A square. But, you can get smaller ones. And the memory chips that go in them are the same ones you use for your camera. And you can put files on them. If you want to put a word doc on your memory chip, you can. Your Mp3 won't recognize it, but it is nifty storage. COMPARISON/CONTRAST - Size does matter. In the case of hard drive Mp3 players... lets face it, you can, if you so chose to, put a library of congress on these monsters. They are the caddilacs of the hand held devices, and guzzle batteries like gasoline. But when it comes down to it, size is the only thing they have going for them. I don't mean to downplay the hard drive types, but don't drop them, don't shake them, and after shelling out $499 to Apple you might consider insurance. Apple doesn't care about you or your apple after 10 days of ownership. - Price/Komparison. IPOD ran me $499 bucks. My memorex MP3 player ran me 45 dollars. The 128 memory chip runs you 50 bucks. Owch. There really isn't a comparison to the two. The memory stick Mp3 players just kick ? on this issue. And, you get MORE than a ten day return policy, since you buy these things at Target/Wal Mart etc... So, that is my review in a nutshell
