Forty-Eight Hours of Failure,
January 23, 2010 Perfesser Bear "Perfesser" (Exeter, Confusion) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RCA AUDIOVOX MP3 PLAYER 8GB COLOR TFT DISPLAY - M4308 (Electronics)
Pros: Wal*Mart didn't hassle me about bringing it back.
Cons: This piece of doo-doo locked up and failed to boot three times in 48 hours. Also, I can't say anything BAD enough about Audiovox's "Customer Service."
Summary: Don't waste you time, money and good nature.
A year or so ago I bought a new car with a nice factory stereo, which in addition to playing MP3 and WMA formatted CDs, had an 'AUX' input for portable stereo devices. One can plug in, for example, a portable cassette player, 8-Track (no, I never owned one) or MP3 player. For a while, I used the MP3 player in my camera/cellular phone, but it does not keep your place in the music if you use another function, and its playlist editing capability is, well, limited. I wanted a dedicated MP3 player primarily for use in the car (those Public Radio beg-a-thons can be SO tedious) and on the commuter bus.
Wal*Mart had a selection of MP3s available right after Christmas, ranging in...Read more

Dont buy it!,
May 31, 2010 This review is from: RCA AUDIOVOX MP3 PLAYER 8GB COLOR TFT DISPLAY - M4308 (Electronics)
I was really dissappointed in this little player. It was nice and light, great for running, controls looked simple... but trying to put music on it is rediculous.
It is terrible... the system does not allow you to create playlists on your computer to then put them on the device. The device makes you copy music from your files onto a media player then you can put them onto your RCA computer library and then you can put them on the device. WHEW! way too much work for me and now my computer is all bogged down with the same music saved in three different places.
Pick something different, dont bother with this player ... it is simply too much work and hassle for the money!

Junk,

I bought one of these RCA M4308 and I had nothing but trouble with it. After loading my tunes on it it took forever to "build the database". It often froze up on me requiring another long startup process. Quite annoying if you're just about to start an exercise routine and it tells you it'll be a few minutes before you can get any music out of the darn thing. When it was working properly the controls and functions weren't very user friendly. I finally accidentally rid myself of the frustrations of owning this thing by sending it through the washing machine in the pocket of my pants. I was actually a little relieved to now be justified to go and buy another mp3 player. Good riddance RCA M4308!
