This review is from: Barbie Girls 1GB MP3 Player - Green - Store 240 Songs! (Toy)

Let me start off by saying that I cannot review the online aspects of this toy. I was looking for an mp3 player for my daughters (5 and 7 yso). And the only thing that we have used it for is as an mp3 player. At $30, it was only $5 more than the cheap ones that I was going to buy. They looked cute and so I took a chance and ordered two for Christmas.

Being the novelty that it is, I really didn't expect anything spectacular. I opened the package and started reading instructions. It comes with a rechargeable battery, which recharges hooked up to the usb port on the computer. So no buying a ton of batteries (Maybe that is a standard on mp3 players, but as I have had no experience with any mp3 player, it was a nice surprise for me). I am not very computer literate (I can type and I can shop), but the instructions made it very easy. After it had charged, in a couple of minutes, I was loading their music on it. I loaded 11 full albums on one of them and it is about 1/3 of the way full. I couldn't believe how many songs you can load on this. They have not put it down since. They had a friend stay over last night, and now she wants one!

It came with a clip, so they are not constantly dropping it, and the earphones. It has all of the clothes, shoes, and hair that you can clip on and off. Plus, when I bought these, it came with an extra set of fashions. So they have a lot of combinations they can make.
After they went to bed last night, I picked one up and started listening. As I said before, I have never listened to another mp3 player, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I thought that the sound was fantastic. Next year, I may have to ask Santa for a Barbie Girl!
As a cute little mp3 player, it definitely earns 5 stars from this family!

I bought this for my 5 year old sister. She's a bright kid and learned how to use the device quickly. Eventually she became quite attached to it and now likes to take it whenever she goes in the car.

However, I am only giving this product 3 stars because of the ENORMOUS price change since I purchased it last year. Last Christmas I bought this exact item for less than $10. Now it costs over $40. Why the change? Heck if I know.

The primary reason I bought this is because it was so cheap. I would never have purchased it if I had to spend more than $15, and it looks like you'll have to spend nearly three times that amount now. Do not buy at this price! Not worth it!
