Poor Design - Poor Battery Life - I returned it,
July 7, 2007 Randall Brandt (Rosemount, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memorex 2G MP3 Player with FM Radio (Electronics)
Briefly put:
1- The toggle switch was easily bumped, thus suddenly switching songs, etc... such as when carrying in pocket, or when running with it in the sport band. (I did not discover a way to lock these features when using)
2- The battery life (it takes 1 AA battery and is not rechargeable) lasts about 2 hours before needing replacement.
3- It does not remember where you were in a song, podcast, or playlist, so if you turn it off and come back, one searches to find where one was at.
4- The forward search is very slow.
5- The fm radio only pulls in the strongest stations in the area.
After 28 days I returned it, just in time (30 days window to the store I bought it from).

August 1, 2008 Speedy Electron "Burned-Out Techie" (Silicon Valley, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memorex 2G MP3 Player with FM Radio (Electronics)
This posting is to keep a promise to the Memorex Customer Service Represenative I delt with that I would post my awful experience every place I could on the Web.
******************************************************************
I bought an Memorex MMP8565 and had it just up an die and not power up for no obvious reason.
It would come back to life a few hours later, maybe but then die..some kind of intermittent or firmware glitch.
Still under Warranty, but had the worst experience I have had in sometime with Memorex Customer Service. Had no suggestions and said what was taking place couldn't and then said send unit and more money for Shipping and Handling.
I said I would consider if they would replace the unit. Couldn't guarantee that even though I told them it was an intermittent problem.
So spend more money and maybe get the same flaky piece of junk back if it chose that period to work for their tech.
So WARNING, if...Read more

Was ok, but...,
December 16, 2007 E. Willaims "EW" (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Memorex 2G MP3 Player with FM Radio (Electronics)
Well, this was my first experience with an MP3 player, I figured I'd try them before I go for the IPOD. Maybe I should have gone all out from the beginning.
I initially liked it's features. The fm tuner was nice, for when I wanted to listen to my favorite show. I also liked the stopwatch. The sound is pretty good, too.
Then, things started to break. First, the battery clip broke off, but I coould still force it closed. Then one day I turned it on and all of my songs had been erased, I had to reload them, I was very annoyed.
Lastly, I turned it on last week and it now reads "boot error" I have tried everything but nothing seems to work. I have this thing for less than three months, so this is a little frustrating.
Hope this helps,
EW
