4.0 out of 5 stars Good for on-the-go!, November 24, 2007

By	Ryan Simmons - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this item with low expectations but overall I am very pleased with my purchase. I wanted a small and affordable MP3 player that I could take with me to work out at the Gym. I have a Ipod Nano but I didn't want to risk it at the Gym. This player clips to my shirt when I am working out, or walking, jogging, etc. You have to be careful with the clip on feature because as you can see from the picture the surface is very smooth. The inside of the clip is smooth as well with the exception of a male/female dimple. If you do a lot of jumping causing the player to bounce on your shirt then the smooth surface of the inside of the clip allows the clip to slide off. This doesn't seem to affect the clip while running but jumping jacks or jump rope may cause the player to un-clip itself. Since the player is light weight if it does fall off the headphones will prevent it from falling too far usually. The player is very simple featuring continuous playback or random. It supports MP3 and WMA but not AAC or Apple's Format.

5.0 out of 5 stars son loves it, December 28, 2007

By	S. Campbell (Delaware) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I finally gave in and bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas. It was advertised to hold 500 songs which I thought was more than enough. At first I was a little concerned because of its size (resembles a binder clip) and was very afraid that my son would lose it after a week. I was also very concerned that I would have a problem loading songs (friends have shared horror stories of having to load special software-- complete with trojan viruses-- and running into all sorts of problems loading songs.) Well, the clip is certainly a nice feature for my son since sometimes he wears sweatpants and the clip nicely secures the player to his waistband. And I do not consider myself a techological wizard, so I was pleasantly surprised that adding songs was as easy as saving files to a flashstick. The directions were fairly clear and concise. The package came with everything I needed to set it up. Keep in mind, this is a bare-bones, no frills mp3 player. It doesnt tell you how many songs you have loaded (unless you hook it back up to the computer and view the files) and we're still trying to figure out how long the battery will actually hold a charge (we noticed that when the player is powered off, we have had a few issues turning it back on and have had to 'plug it into the computer' to recharge it again.) I'm sure its operator error and we'll figure it out. Anyway, it's a good excuse to remove it from my son's hands for a while. Overall, we are very happy with the player, and intend on getting another for my husband for his birthday.

3.0 out of 5 stars lacking, January 17, 2009

By	Peggy McCormack (Anchorage, Alaska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't believe Amazon is selling this for almost $70 when I bought one from Wal-Mart a little more than a year ago for less than $30 and others just like it on Amazon (although different colors) are also going for less than $30. What makes blue so special?
Comparing it to another mp3 player my other daughter received for Christmas, this model is inferior. For starters, it doesn't have an external display. The other drawback is its 2.5mm headphone jack. Apparently standard size is 3.5mm. If ours came with an adapter, I didn't know...or we lost it. If you find yourself needing new headphones and have lost your adapter (or didn't get one to begin with), you'll be hard pressed to find 2.5mm headphones or you'll have to go to Radio Shack and buy a new adapter like we did.
If I knew then (when I bought it) what I know now, I'd buy an mp3 player with an external display and a standard 3.5mm headphone input.
