My OPAL is Great,

This review is from: Rca M4002 Opal Series Mp3 Player With 1.5-Inch Oled (2 Gb) (Electronics)
OK, this little MP3 player has a lot of pro's and con's. Bad news first...
In order for this device to work properly for you, the user must be someone who "takes good care of their things". Its firmware is rather delicate and prone to several different types of failures. RCA does however have a website where you can download for free a good firmware update. When you load the new firmware though, it essentially formats the OPAL which will allow you to reload the player with music, pictures, videos or soundbytes. If you did the update correctly, the OPAL will perform like a champion. Loading up songs and videos is SSSLLLOOOWWW with this device, but once their in there, the sound quality goes toe to toe with the best players on the market. The battery system is probably the biggest issue I have with the OPAL. SSSLLLOOOWWW charging through the USB port (8 hours minimum charge time) that gives you about 6 hours of playback time. To add to the battery issue, it's internal to the...Read more

The RCA Opal in MY eyes!,
July 24, 2007 Russell Stevens "Russell's Daughter!" (tellicoplains, tn United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rca M4002 Opal Series Mp3 Player With 1.5-Inch Oled (2 Gb) (Electronics)
I love it because it's my favorite color, blue! Plus it holds uber lots of songs. The ear buds fit perfectly in my small ears. The tips fell of easily and I lost one, though. I like how it shows the artist, song and even the album cover. My old Mp3 player couldn't do that. I really like how you can change the color settings for the screen. I wasn't to happy that it didn't come with many accesories, or any accesories at that. I would rather have the Nano, but this is a great alternative for anyone on a budget. I still haven't got the picture and video to work though, since downloading the converter messed up our computer and deleted temporary files. I give it 2 thumbs up and 4 stars though!

Have had mine for 4 yrs!!!,

This review is from: Rca M4002 Opal Series Mp3 Player With 1.5-Inch Oled (2 Gb) (Electronics)
Ok I have had this mp3 player for four years and am surprised at the neg. feed back. Mine is still working and I have not been gentle with it by any means. I have dropped it, left it on the charger way too long, even got it wet once...and it is as dependable today as when I first bought it. That being said the battery after the third year only holds a charge for about four hours. I imagin batteries don't last forever so this seems fair to me...I would buy another one...and am happy amazon carries it, because the store I bought the last one from...no longer has this model. If you want an MP3 player that can take a beating...and keep playing, this is the one...no fancy bells and whistles...just music!
Thank you RCA...your still dependable!!!!
