1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM, EVER! Locks up, can't update firmware, no response from PNY, June 3, 2006

Sadly, though I liked this when I first got it, I must report that PNY doesn't give a flying freak about customer service. the "Update firmware" sends the software into an endless search on my computer for "attached devices."

Ironic that I can move files to and from the player, reformat the player, play files from the player on my computer, but when I try to play files WITH the Vibe, it goes for about 45 seconds then just locks. No user input makes any difference. Until you pull out the battery, which you better leave out until all internal power gone, several minutes later. Only to do the same thing AGAIN after you put the battery back in. Dumb.

I have given up on RMAing it and will be returning it for a refund. PNY can go jump in the lake.

1.0 out of 5 stars Battery Low, July 20, 2007

If you run the battery down. The battery low indicator will stay on until you delete all the files from it. I have deleted the "setting file" and that helped but not all the time. It makes the setting file when you change settings( like random order songs ). I updated the firmware and it still the same problem. The radio and sound quality is very good. It does last for a day on 1 battery.

3.0 out of 5 stars UI is horrible, March 15, 2006

I got this because it was on sale (elsewhere) for $120, which

was a good price for 2GB. But the user interface is horrible.

I still have trouble getting it to start playing after using

it for 3 months. The friendly button on the front: dont

hit it! It will starting recording voice or FM radio.

Once I get it to start playing, I'm happy with it. (ahh,

that is, after I replaced the earbuds with better ones.)
