Nice for the first 3 months. From then on, hell.

It looks like the best player ever made. Until, of course, the warranty expires.

And then we find out everything wrong with it...

It scratches more easily than you would believe.
Every new album I've put on it has blanked out the entire player and made me have to format it and resync my entire library.
It holds nothing like 1GB of songs. More like 900 MB.
It records so quietly you can hardly hear it.
The earbuds hardly work.

I would not buy this again, given 70 bucks. I would go for a completely different brand, different model. And next time I won't be fooled by 4 glowing reviews.

"Does not" IPOD

As with most folks that are new to MP3 players we tend to go with what's
well advertized and, well "Hot". So we look towards IPOD. After looking at the price tag of the IPOD and hearing of the difficulties with I-Tunes. I
did some research and found this product to be superior in every way. It has many sound options that IPOD does not, it is more compact, it works
with many on-line music store programs, it has an FM radio, (IPOD does not)
It is cheaper! Why IPOD? Go with this little beauty, you'll be much happier.

Nice player but not flawless

The good:
Line-in encoding.
Voice recording.
Equalizer.
Long battery life.
Small.
Lightweight.
Easy-to-use.
Portable.

The bad:
Skips between songs-there is about a 1-second pause between songs.
Cuts off the first second of every song-it will start at 00:01 and not 00:00; this can be circumvented, however.
The "Favorites" playlist will re-order itself by album name if you turn the player off and back on again. Quite annoying, actually.
Shuffle and Repeat One modes take up tons of battery.
Does not seem to be compatible with any format of playlist. Also quite annoying.
The clock is always two minutes off. You can only set the hour, not the minute.
The earbuds short out quickly.
Sometimes it freezes; a quick punch of the reset button fixes this, however.
Scratches easily. The back, at least. As in if you put it on too hard a table and whisk it off, it will have a new scratch.

I like my player, but, as my library grows, I'm going to be looking at new models with more space, more compatibility, and a more durable design.
