Customer Review: Great little gizmo
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought 7 of these to give as gifts for the male coworkers of my husband. I always have a harder time choosing gifts for young men than I do for women. Anyways, they were thrilled with this item (beats a crappy coffee mug anyday!). I ordered one too many and thus it went to my daughter...so I got to use it, too. I liked it so much I am here to buy 2 more for myself and my son. I agree that the instructions are pretty much useless. I just plugged it in an pasted mp3 files into it from my files in windows explorer. Windows recognized it right away and automatically installed it (there is also a cd for drivers on win 98). No biggie. I am certainly not whatcha call a techie. I guess if you have no program at all to change .wav files from your cds into mp3s then you would have a problem, but you can get these free shareware type programs on the internet. I did notice it "skipped" a tiny bit here and there. I am not sure if that was from my files, from the flash based media, or this player in particular.

It is about 3 inches long and one inch wide. It is a little thick for only 128 mb, but that is likely because of the battery compartment (it takes one AAA) The big button on the front of the thing is fake, it doesn't do anything. The 3 "real" buttons are on top. The first is a step back/volume up button, second is a step forward/volume down button, and the third is a pause/stop button. Click the button to do the first thing (e.g., step back, step forward, pause) and push and hold the button to do the other function. Hold the stop button to turn it off. It plugs directly into your usb port. They also include a wire, too if you want, and some little in-your-ear earphones. That's it.

No, it doesn't display titles/artists, have any bass/treble stuff, bookmarks, etc. I realize it only holds about 30 songs, but it is cheap and simple. We old people used to make cassette tapes of our favorite songs so we could take them on the fly. This is the same sort of thing.

It is simple to plug in and put on a few songs for the car ride to work (you'll of course need some device to plug it into your car..corded cassette, fm transmitter, you know the items) or for a workout, walk, take to the beach, or keep your kids occupied for a little while. Simple to change songs when you want..it is just like putting them in a file on your computer. Then if you drop it in the ocean or your kid drops it in his milkshake or whatever, you wont go crazy that they ruined it. I don't even like carrying my ipod too many places, scared I might drop it or get sand in it. The battery is a regular old battery, no waiting for recharges. This is no 300 dollar item, but it is a great little take along you won't be afraid to actually bang around.
