This is your basic MP3 player --- I have an iPod mini - but wanted a smaller one for my jogs, one that is simple to use (very important).

A couple of observations:
1) very easy to load music - unlike the iPod, you can just copy and paste the music you want onto the player and you're ready to go. I love that!
2) sound quality is noticeably worse than my iPod... perhaps that's the headphones, I'm not sure. It's not bad, just not as good.
3) the player is a little annoying to use, to flip between songs, navigate, etc. It just doesn't seem to do what I want sometimes. Kinda confusing and sometimes annoying.

In short, it did what I wanted it to and would recommend it for someone looking for the simplest player.

For the $ I was really impressed with the sound-I take it jogging walking mowing anywhere-fits in a purse easily-and 1 little AAA battery! It was my 1st mp3 player so I didn't want to invest alot till I knew which features I wanted-GREAT for the Cost-sound is great-and easy to load songs-etc-also got a rebate with mine

This is the secondMacvision MP3 player that I've purchased. I loved mine so much I got one for my 11 year old. He loves it. It's small and holds more than enough songs (he's got over 50). It also has a voice recording feature that he loves - something his brothers I-pod shuffle doesn't have.

The great thing is with the price - I'm not as concerned about him loosing it.

The glass screen broke when my son had this in his pocket. I asked him if he had banged it or fell down or anything like that and he didn't think so. He was happy with it until that happened. Normally I would think that glass was better than plastic, but in this case I think plastic would be better or thicker stronger glass. It still works, but it is almost impossible to read the screen.

This product came with an installation cd that didn't work in my gift reciepent's computer and didn't fit in either of my laptops. The web page was a joke with absolutely no guidance either. I have since returned it and I am awaiting my credit because at least six people attempted and could not easily get this thing to successfully work.

This MP3 player was a waste of time and money (fortunately only a little money). The control buttons are too small and the "three lines" of text require a magnifying glass to read. Worst of all, while the voice recording function did work, it would not store or playback any music files.

The instruction booklet was written in very poor English and the instructions provided were so brief that even when the poor English could be deciphered they were useless. Online "help" is nonexistent. The only saving grace of this MP3 was that it cost very little.

This "MP3 player" is not recommended at any price; even if another was offered to me for free I would not accept it.

I got this MP3 Player a couple of monts ago and I absolutly love it!! It has superb sound quality and plenty of space for music (you could also upgrade that space). It is small, tiny and compatable which makes it great! If you want an MP3player that is easy to use and is still great definatly get this one! I couldn't find anything at all that I don't like about it. I highly recommend it.
