I recently bought one of these mp3 players and have enjoyed it. The 256mb size holds enough music to fill all the boring spots in school, with enough space left over to transfer a few files. The sound quality out of this thing is great. While it doesn't have a random button, it does play songs in order of insertion so grouping by sound works.
The voice recorder works great, but only records at 64k quality, compared to the mp3s at minimum 128k quality. Also, while it is enough mic range to record little notes to yourself, it can not record lectures done by teachers.
My only real gripe with this product is the trouble I have had in making it transfer files in Mac OS 9.1. Every time I try, the whole computer hangs on the copying message. Other than that, it is a handy little thing to have.

This mp3 player sucks! Two weeks after I bought it the hardware broke and is unable to be fixed.The buslink support is non exsitent. So if it breaks there is nothing you can do. Stick to Sony, Phillips or Rio thoes are ligit.

I had intended to purchase the iPod until I saw the price <yikes> and also read several reviews that left me doubting whether that was the right player for me. This is my first MP3 player - I wanted something small I could take to the gym. My biggest concern was NOT that it hold hour after hour of music because I knew I could delete files and replace as I wanted. After reading the reviews on this player I decided to go for it. I'm not disappointed. I'm running Windows XP and the device was recognized immediately - all necessary drivers were automatically installed. Within 5 minutes I had transferred 20 MP3's into the unit and was playing with the various functions. Nice size - 256MB which is more than enough for me :) I'm glad I didn't spend the money on the iPod....this one suits me just fine. The ear buds actually stay in my ears, although I still find them annoying and will probably invest in a small set of headphones to replace them.
