You have a _great_ product here. I loved having it. The sound is good, and rechargeable batteries make it so convenient.

You need to do two things with this product:

1) Allow music to come from a SD card

2) Use USB 2.0

Then you will have a winner and I'd definitely get one.

I returned mine.

Good sound quality for the size, very portable, long battery life. I store 40 songs, had it playing in my office the whole day until such time i want new songs.... then sync for other songs.

I dont advise this to be a carry-on item (ex. jogging, biking, etc.) It's heavier and much more bulkier that any other MP3 players. This product is good for desktop, at the patio, for camping, as an alarm clock... just dont hang it on your neck or place it in your pocket (if it will fit).

But I still rate this 5 stars because it really serves my purpose. I'm not an MP3 downloading addict, I dont like having things hanging on my ears, but i do want to listen to music anytime i want to. This item is great for me.

I love the concept, the sound, and the size of this player. I particularly love the rechargable batteries. However, I give it only four stars because of the software to add songs to it... it does not have a Mac version and it is difficult to install. Another reason is that every time you want to listen to the radio you have to scan the airwaves with the antenna plugged in.

We used it to play lullabies for my granddaughter in her incubator in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We connected an iShuffle to it-- It was just the right size!

This thing is great its like having a party anywhere... I take it to the beach, to work, and just any random place to have some fun. You can put lecture notes in it or audio books and listen in the car and then while you shower, and then in the backyard and the sound has a clear bass and treble to it it reminds me of the Bose system. People it is great and I love mine I hope you guy have this much fun with it.

Due to battery discharge to the point of being died... You have to press the reset button on back while the unit is plugged in. Then it came right up & works wonderfully. If you would read the instuctions, it does state that this might happen. Easy to overcome & the unit is one very tough unit. I love the alarm clock feature & the fact it works after it is unplugged & turned off. As long as you have the alarm set, even if unplugged from the charger & not in use the Unit "wakes itself & Wakes you with Music of your Choise. Very cool & wonderful unit. Just bought 2 more for Gifts. Hope this helps all of you. No Worries, Really.

I just recieved my shoqbox. The sound is great and I had no problem with getting the system started. My biggest problem was the Music Matchbox program. That programs is difficult to use. Extremely user unfriendly. I spent about four hours trying to figure it out (the amount it takes to fully charge the system). It's extremely slow to transfer music onto it, once you figure it out. After that, its a cool little system. Phillip should figure out how to get a better program than Matchbox and now yahoo music.

I've had this shoqbox 24 hours.

Extremely pleased with everything about it. Please enjoy.
