Waterproof MP3 Player 1GB

I used this for lap swimming and was very careful to close it exactly how they tell you to, but it only worked for about 2 weeks before water leaked in and the mp3 player wouldn't turn on anymore. While it did work, I loved it, but for the money, I would have liked to use my new mp3 player for more than a few weeks.

I purchased this product because I cycle and kayak and wanted a mp3 player that would hold up under adverse conditions, which this product seems to do. However, it has several major disadvantages.
1. Can only charge the battery with a USB cable and computer, thus making it difficult to carry on weekend camping trips and recharging.
2. I have used 3 different laptops all fairly new with windows 2000 or XPpro, and all computers have problems recognizing the player when you plug in the USB cable.
3. There is no play list manager, so you have to scroll through all songs to find the ones you wnat, with a 1 gig memory that is a lot of looking for a song, on a screen you can barely see.

Shuffle setting isn't random, plays different order but that same diferent order every time, the headphones stink!
