I travel a lot by bus and train. Doing this I need something to listen to while I commute. I looked into an ipod and I want to wait till the price comes down, which they will. In the mean time, I needed a player of some sort so I bought this one here. this is so easy to use my nine year old can do it. It plays MP3's and WMA only, which is great because I use Windows Media Player at home. I saw the review on the MA833A and I'm sure those people just are clueless to computers and peripherals. Anyway, I checked there resource library for support and they had a how to transfer files to your MP3 player wich was great. I must admit that the Instruction Manual was not so helpful, but I'm rating the product. People just need to experiment, just as they did when they first used a computer. Very Cool!!

Read the technical information on this player carefully before buying. We liked this product until we tried to buy and download music online, and found that it does not support music downloads with DRM (digital rights management) software, which is used by every trustworthy online music source we checked. Don't buy this player if you plan to buy and download music from the Internet.

It doesn't surprise me that this mp3 player is now being offered at a significant discount. I purchased one a month or so ago and was very disappointed with the player. File transfers were often unsuccessful, despite following the instructions to the letter, and the player had an incredibly annoying tendency to restart whenever I opened the file menu. I contacted MacVision customer service by e-mail--to this date, they haven't responded.

Now it's possible that I received a dud, and that other players work fine--but this doesn't explain the company's failure to respond to my inquiry.

For what it's worth, I will never purchase a MacVision product again.

I am a big fan of macvision mp3 players. Last christmas I bought 3 different color ones for my neices and nephews. They love it. This year I
bought one for my brother, his wife and myself. It volume is loud, easy to
work and use and can fit almost anywhere, I highly recommend this product for people that dont like carrying cd's as well as cd players around.

The only things that I can say is good about this item is: it is small and light as a feather. Once you fumble around and manage to download music to it, it works fine. However, this took me hours because the manaual is worthless, even if you can read the tiny print. I wish that I had spent a little more and gotten a MP3 that was more user friendly.

The MP3 Player is not a bad deal for about $53. It is everything I expected it to be, except it drains batteries like there is no tomorrow. A Triple A Duracell will only last approximately 3 1/2 hours.

This MP3 player is poorly designed and difficult to operate. We were so frustrated with it that we returned it to Amazon. We gave up trying to get it to work.

It's a good product. To be a perfect product just need to improve the sound's quality. The functionality, the size and the price are o.k.

Great price, lots of functions, broke in a few days. Sent it back to Amazon about a month ago, and they havn't even acknowledged receiving it yet.

One of the little bottom that just fell off...
