4.0 out of 5 stars great as portable speakers, April 26, 2007

I bought this to use as portable speakers for my other portable players when I go out of town,or on cruses. It is small and plays loud!and is rechargeable,no batteries to buy.I knew it did not have much storage for mp3 files.
I also use it in the shower. Works great in there.You can hear it over the running water.
I don't think the radio works so great,at least where I live.It worked better out of town.It should have a bulit in antenna,like any portable radio does,not that dum plug in cord,that you can loose.
I knew what I was buying,works great for me.For a refurbised item you would'nt know it,looks new.(4 stars because of cord antenna)

4.0 out of 5 stars New or Used?, March 8, 2007

Although this little radio/MP3 system is pretty decent, the capacity isn't what I'd hoped for music storage. The radio, however, was my main impetus for purchasing it, and it does the job excellently. I am dissappointed, though, to discover that it was refurbished when I deliberately chose to purchase the only one offered on Amazon as New in Box, paid a little more for it for that reason, and when it came it was obviously used with a limited warranty. Not so cool Amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars mixed bag, February 27, 2009

This little Twinkie-shaped device sounds pretty good for having such small speakers. However, there are some drawbacks, mostly with the software that operates it. My biggest complaint is that you can't just drag and drop mp3 or WMA files into it like you can with other mp3 players. You have to use the completely worthless Musicmatch Jukebox which should win an award for most cofusing software. I spent about six hours trying to get a few songs loaded onto this thing, but finally just gave up. The software said my Jukebox and Twinkie-shaped device were synced-up, loaded, and ready to go, but when I tried to access the files from the Twinkie-shaped device, there was nothing there. I tried all sorts of things, but no matter what I tried, no files show on the device. I tried using different computers, with the same result. Finally, I just ended up using it as powered speakers for my other mp3 player and it works good that way. But it's pretty disappointing that it doesn't seem to work as advertized. I'm giving three stars for sound quality and zero stars for the firmware.
