This product doesn't come with the program needed for putting mp3's into it's memory. The web site where the program must be downloaded doesn't exist. The manufacturer is out of business. The seller sent me the program by email. It was an executable file which outlook wouldn't let me have until I went into the registry and disabled that part of outlook. But even then the program was corrupt. The seller then stopped returning my emails.
But wait, there's more. The little green clock comes with one song already on it. But there is no volume control. It always plays at maximum volume. The other night we watched 1408, the movie about a haunted hotel room. Pretty scary movie. About a half hour after it was over and we were asleep in bed, the green alarm clock went off playing the wierd song at full volume. I jumped up and turned it off. I said if that happens again I'm outa here. My wife said, you'd do that wouldn't you. You'd run and leave me here. That's right baby.
Also there is no snooze button. The cable which is supplied is some archaic monster from the early 90's with an RJ45 or something on one end and a parallel cable on the other. Not USB. Obviously the seller bought the lot of these from the bankrupt manufacturer probably for pennies and he's selling them for $30 plus shipping. The product doesn't work at all. It's useless. Don't buy it. You are being ripped off and Amazon is supporting very bad people. I used to respect Amazon. What's going on with them?
