DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM. This MP3 player does not work. I have tried to download the music on it all day. A Christmas present that my daughter was very eager to use and it just will NOT work. I have tried to sync the music and it appears to download but when we try to access it on the MP3 player it does not appear and we are unable to play it.

I read previous reviews, and assumed because I'm technically inclined that I would be able to figure this seemingly simple device out. NEGATIVE. I received a second player by accident, but I thought "Oh, hey... a back up!" Not only did the first one not work, but neither did the second one! It is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to get mp3's onto the device. And it was my daughters birthday present. She was SO heartbroken! Don't waste your time on this piece of crap.

Very disaappointing. It wouldn't charge fully then died after being used once. Looks pretty but it's a piece of garbage that I regret buying.

this mp3 player will not download songs. when i sync the songs, the player says it is copying the songs and then when i go to the music folder it says there are no songs. i have struggled for days trying to get this thing to copy songs for my 5 yr old sister. she got it as a christmas present and is really dissapointed she can't listen to her new "ipod". please do not buy!

I bought this item as a Christmas present for my daughter. I usually read the reviews first, but bought from another site. When I came to amazon to read the reviews I became very worried. However, I've had minimal problems with the player. I was easily able to download 3 different soundtracks on it. The only issue I see so far is it needs reset frequently. Not sure why...there's been 2 different occasions after downloading and charging that it wouldn't turn back on. I hit the reset and all is fine. Hopefully, the battery life will last for her. We'll see in a few weeks! Regardless, this is a nice starter player for a child!

I bought it as a christmas present for my 5 yr old. I loved that it had a strap for convenient carying. we were finally able to load it and it worked for 1 day. i dont know if it wasn't holding a charge or just died. We gave up on it. also i did not return it cause i really have never returned an item purchased online and thought it would be too much of a hassle. and they would find a reason not to grant the return. I am even more disappointed because it was her big present and so i purchased a stuffed animal speaker for it and some cute head phones, all which have since gone to waste. untill i buy her another. (which will not be the barbie petal) Dont waste you money on it.

I bought this (1GB version) so my 4 year old could listen to Disney soundtracks and I could listen to the news in the car on our 30 minute commute. It was easy to load songs from my Media Player Library (CD's I had ripped onto my computer) to the unit. I didn't like that it doesn't stick with the playlist order, but she doesn't care. It would be better for her if all it did was play music - she gets into the menu by mistake and I have to fix it for her because she can't navigate the menus. If she sticks to only the play button she can do it herself ("play" turns it on and advances through whatever menu it starts on - if you have it on the music menu and hit play several times it will start the music playing). It will be something she can grow into, but by then, may be obsolete. Works for us for now.

My daughter got this for her birthday and we had no problems putting music or photos on it (I have vista).I did however edit all the photos so they were square and under 50kb's (300x300 or less).
Instead of going through the Windows media player like they suggested in the manual, I just went through "My Computer" to find the mp3 device and opened the folder "voice" and did a drag and drop of her songs. Same with the photos (into the photo folder). I find it easier than the "sync"

THIS DIDN'T WORK FOR ME on Christmas Day like it said. It didn't hold a charge and it didn't take the music. I have a Mac with itunes and it is supposed to work. I mailed it back. I stayed on hold with customer service and they were no help. Looks great and looks like fun but it wouldn't work.
