5.0 out of 5 stars A great sports mp3 player, June 3, 2005

I bought this MP3 player to use while running and lifting weights, and it is perfect. Like most good players, it has great sound; you can change the mode (Jazz, Bass, Rock, etc.) while the music's still playing; and battery life is pretty good, too. The device comes with a sturdy removeable belt clip, and a great armband as well. In addition, the player has a very clever control/navigation design that allows you to quickly & easily play the music you want (by title, folder, genre, or artist). Finally, this device even has a finger sensor that measures your pulse (although I haven't read the manual yet on how to use this feature). For the price, this is a solid sport MP3 player that's worth getting.

If you have big hands-or fingers..look elsewhere. You need to have some nails to get the nubs of the controls to move. Soundwise, It's great! Looks are ok..orange backlite..blue would have been better I think. Comes with armband,battery,over the ear individual headphones. I know this is key, but read the manual! I didn't. Kinda of jumped in. I did not install any software that came with this item. Not a big fan of music match. Drag and drop. The player has a shuffle button--in the settings. Cool factor of 10 with the fm player AND recorder! It saves files as mp3 that you can upload anytime. comes with a free month of audible.com also. Very cool.

2.0 out of 5 stars NO RESUME!!!, September 8, 2006

The title says it all. If you bought this player for listening to audiobooks, which is what I did, you'll be extremely disappointed that you'll have to fast forward through the book every time you start it up since there is no resume feature. Considering audiobooks are anywhere from 3 to 8 hours long in most cases, or at least the pieces you get from audible are, it's totally inconvenient to start playing from the beginning each time you turn it on. Get used to the fast forward button and remembering exactly what time you were at because you're going to be doing a lot of it. Lame.
