Summary: Love the features 2007-07-30
Comment: Having an USB recharge is wonderful - no batteries to replace regularly. Can easily switch modes, and it will remember reliably what your last setting was for. You will love this little gem and 512 mb is more music that you really need to carry around.

Summary: very very sturdy 2007-02-27
Comment: I forgot to take this player out of my pants pocket before it went through the wash. I was crushed when I pulled it out of the washing machine. I let it dry out and plugged it into my computer to recharge. I surprised when it began to charge and I could see my files on the screen. I was delighted when an hour later it booted up and played my songs!
What a gadget!!

Summary: mp3 player for people with tiny fingers, huge ears and a lot of patience 2006-11-16
Comment: I have bought this MP3 player a month ago and I have been using it daily while driving to work,
This player is a pain to use even without driving a car at the same time.
These are the design flaws that I found:
1. Very small wheel used to change volume and advance through the songs
This kind of input device would be very good (see the wheel on the iPod) if only it were not so small.
My fingers are long and relatively thin, yet this wheel is completely covered by my thumb with some room to spare.
This wheel is hard to use.
2.The headphone ear plugs are big (think elephant ears big)
The plugs keep falling from my ears although I have normal ears.
3. The shuffle feature is broken
Once you turn off your player and turn it back on you will keep hearing the same songs again. In other words this player does not store the names of the songs already listened to.
You have to shuffle your songs in some way before you get them onto the player.
In conclusion, buy this player if you have tiny fingers, huge ears and lots of patience.

Summary: Awesome Player!! 2006-08-27
Comment: I bought my player from Costco a few months ago. I love the thing to death. Couple things to improve on... a protective skin would be a nice option, and an expandable memory. I love this player for it's compactness, however the memory is just okay. When I bought this product I thought it would be perfect for me, small and lightweight, but only room for approx. 120 songs. It fit a reasonable amount of songs on there, but not all of my collection. One of my only complaints is that mine wouldn't do a playlist, which is fine for me, it would have been a nice feature. I love the "on the fly" radio recording and the voice recording, for notes, ideas and thoughts. All in all, this is a great beginning product.

Summary: Don't buy this product 2006-08-07
Comment: I bought 4 units of this product as Christmas gifts for myself, my wife and teenage kids. Three of them died within the first two months of very light use. I was successful in returning two of the units for a full refund, however, I'm stuck with one dead unit, and waiting for the fourth to die any day now. I got replacement iPod shuffles for the kids. The iPods have performed flawlessly for a number of months.
