This is the best MP3 I have ever owned. I got one in 2004. It still works. It still holds a charge. It's still way easier to operate than that stupid touch sensitive wheel on the iPod. I set this thing in a cupholder filled with raspberry tea and tea got inside of it through the place where you plug the charger. It still smells like raspberry tea inside there but it still charges and I never had to replace anything on it. I really wish they were still making these. They are far superior to anything Apple can come up with.

Dell DJ 20/30 sofware works using Win XP or Win 2000 only. Forget using Vista or Win 7. If using Leonx system, 3rd software is available for free. It is possible to get a "virtual" Wind xp when using Win 7, but way to much hassle just for this HEAVY weight mp3 player.

I've owned this mp3 player since 2005 and it has been my very favorite one I've had! This was the first mp3 player I got and I became so spoiled! I got a new computer that had vista and then another that had Win 7 and the software for the DJ does not work with those systems! I have tried everything. :( It's extremely unfortunate. I still have the player and it works perfectly. It charges well and plays without a hitch. I'm just not able to update it. Since 2008, I have purchased a 120g Zune, 160g iPod, 64g Zen, and a 16g Sony mp3 player and I have returned them all. I just can't find one to match the DJ! It has a VERY unique shuffle mode. That's what I love most about it! Instead of shuffling all songs into one playlist, it selects different songs from every album but if it shuffles to a song you don't want to hear, you can just scroll up or down and select a song from the same album because they are still listed in order, all you have to do is play it!!! For me, that's the most important and AWESOME shuffle function ever created. I own thousands of CDs and that is just such a great way to have a shuffle function operate, in my opinion.

I bought one of these and I felt scammed, this huge gadget works only with windows 95 or older versions. So I gave it to my nephew for him to disassemble it in to parts and play with them.

Was a terrific player when it first came out - I had a 15 GB 1st gen (basically the same except for software). Mono screen is small and dull by ANY measure compared to newer players that sports a larger, brighter, color displays. Cannot play video, does not have radio, DO NOT work with newer operating systems, Vista or Win 7. Why anyone would pay more than $15 for these obsolete units when you can have larger capacity, more functional players now is beyond me. By the way - good luck if the battery runs out!
