3.0 out of 5 stars Not the most intuitive, but it works, February 15, 2009

My daughter, 8, received this player for Christmas. Fortunately, she also received a card you insert into the device with songs to play on it, since it doesn't come preloaded as you might expect from a simple Disney product. Her model does hold 1Gb worth of songs internally. It is not that well constructed, so I wonder how long it will last. She is more than happy with it, though, and hasn't had problems. Inserting a Disney pre-loaded sound card works well. The instructions were not that intuitive, however, about how to download music to it. Here is what worked for us. We installed the software on our PC and when the Disney Mix Central icon is clicked it you will see the Disney player rather than your Windows Media Player. It does this through a plug-in, so Windows Media Player is still operating, you just don't see it. Clicking one of the icons in the Disney player will revert back to the Windows Player. The instructions said you need Windows Media Player 11; we had v10, so upgrading it to v11 helped tremendously. You also need to install a security patch to v11, but the Player walks you through it and it's a 1-click upgrade. We purchased songs on the Disney Mix site and downloaded them successfully to the player using the Windows Player sync function. So, if you are purchasing it for a child and buying a preloaded card, it works fine; if you want to download music to it, you may need someone who is familiar with purchasing music online to make it easy. For the price, it's about what you might expect. I figure you pay 1/3rd the price for the Disney brand, so compare a lesser price to other non-name brand models for a fair comparison.

1.0 out of 5 stars junk, December 26, 2009

Absolute junk! Bought for my 6-year old daughter for Christmas, and even though this was inexpensive, it totally wasn't worth the few dollars I paid for it.

First of all... the earbuds are HUGE, they are almost too big for MY ears, let alone a child's.

Next, this device is extremely cheaply made - very flimsy. The on/off switch sticks and the play button wouldn't work until I pushed it several times.

Finally, there's some indeterminate piece of plastic in the mix stick loading area that will just not come out. It was there when we opened the box and I have no clue how to remove it.

Two thumbs WAY down. Quite possibly the most disappointing purchase I made this year. I bought a mix stick max plus for my son - Pirates of the Caribbean - this device is miles ahead of the junk I'm reviewing here.

AVOID this useless thing like the plague!!

I experienced the same problems with the players as others have. I bought the Disney Mix Stick for my daughter for Christmas and the battery doesn't appear to hold a charge and the music player doesn't play. They seem to be very cheaply made, but what can you expect for under $10.
