3.0 out of 5 stars Nice for kids - few annoyances., December 25, 2006

Overall, I think it's a good idea. Nice concept for kids. My boys are 6 and 7, and they each got one for Christmas.

Two annoying things about the players:

1 - the detachable caps. In order to charge or download music, the cap must be removed. There's no way to keep it attached to the player. This is a fairly critical flaw for something made for *kids*.

2 - so far - play time is NOT 8 hours. Maybe we have a defective "charger" (the disney speaker stand was purchased also, and it seems defective). The MP3 player only played for 3 hours total - mostly on the stand, and only about 10 minutes off the stand before the player stopped working.

Invest in a USB wall charger.

I'm also NOT a fan of Disney's Mix Clips. So I won't waste my money on those. The player holds enough music for kids, and I find our Veggie Tales collection enough to keep the boys happy.

Think about it before you buy it. It's "Okay".

This review is from: Disney Mix Stick Chrome MP3 Player (Toy)

Do yourself a favor and don't buy one of these. The support is poor and worst of all our Mix Stick in the "chrome blue" stopped playing about 4 months after we bought it. My 8 yr old son got it for a Xmas gift and loved it then it just died. You could plug it into your computer and it wouldn't recognize it so there was just nothing you could do. I researched it quite a bit trying to fine some answers but to no avail.

If you are going to get an MP3 player I suggest that you get an MP3 player with better support, longer warranty and has a battery you can replace. For the same price my Philips SA1110 1GB has all these things and it's now my son's.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, December 25, 2006

I purchased this mp3 player for 2 of my sons christmas presents. After charging them like it says, I loaded the songs....and nothing. I can't get either player to even start. I carefully followed the directions and can't even turn it on now. I have been trying to figure out this player almost all day.

I thought a Disney mp3 player would be great for a young child, but it is lacking in some basics that I would expect on any mp3 player. Even if I could turn it on, there is no no menu. There is no way to sort your music (except to hit the MIX IT button)or even see what you are listening too. I thought the tiny square window on the player was a display area, but it is ONLY a window that you can see "clip cards" or an sd card in. The other thing it needs is a better on/off switch. It flashed red/green while it is charging. When I unplugged it from my computer and turned it on no light came on, is it on or off? I am guessing off because we can't get any music to play. Of course I would know this for sure if there were some kind of display!!!

I am returning these 2 units and purchasing ones I know will work the way I want them to.
