Buyer beware
I was so excited when I intially received this mp3 player; I just could not wait to use it. The downloading was slightly complexed but caught on to it quickly. Once I plug in my headset however, I soon realized the true meaning of re-furbished. I down loaded about 70 songs and I could never get it to play passed #20. Even if I have it random; it still gets stuck. This thing is a piece of junk. You have to take the battery out to turn it off and when I tried to return this item. The company wanted to charge me basically telling me tough luck. So therefore I do not recommend this especially if you by refurbished. IT SUCKS!
good value for the money
I purchased this MP3 player for my 10-year-old son [who is autistic] as an experiment to see if he could tolerate wearing earphones while listening to music. I am please to say that it was 100% successful -- he not only was accepting of the earphones, but the technology is very user-friendly and he was able to figure out how to use this MP3 player very quickly. Now he regularly asks to have new music downloaded into it. It is very easy to sync the device with Windows Media Player and swap files in and out of it. I recommend this for any person looking for an entry-level MP3 player for themselves or for their children. The unit is made very well, and is sturdy and simple to use.
Sandisc 256K mp3 player
I love it. The only things I would suggest would be earplug
type earphones instead. I wish it had an EQ built in to adjust
the bass but for $20 it fulfills my needs and the overall
sound quality is pretty good.
Decent, but not for Big Hands
I bought my player about two years ago and it's still playing. So here are some observations:
The Good:
Lightweight - I wear it on my arm for working out with the included arm strap.
Somewhat easy to use - Just read the directions, install some software and away you go.
Durable - I have dropped it a few times and it still runs.
The Bad:
Musicmatch Software - Not one of my favorite music programs. I also cannot change the order of the songlist.
Small Buttons - Like I said in the title, this one is not for big hands. My hands are average size and the buttons are sometimes a chore to use.
Limited file options - Not compatable with stuff from i-Tunes or WAV files.
Freezing up - Sometimes the player tends to freeze up and the only way to solve the situation is to erase the file I store the music on and start again.
Overall, I can overlook the flaws and use this until it becomes broken and/or obselete.
good product n service
I was a little sceptical when I read other reviews regarding the battery life,but the product works just fine.Even the sound quality is pretty decent.The service is very fast,got it within a few days ! All in all,I think its a good return for the money.
