I have 135 songs on mine. The one AAA battery lasted 9 hours. Either everyone else got a lemon or they don't know how to use it.Oh yea, I bought mine for $29.00 on clearance at Target, that includes the speakers and amplifier. Mine has never had a problem when it was bumbed either.

4.0 out of 5 stars good little player, April 6, 2005

I knew very little about mp3 players when I bought this product but when I saw it at Target for $77, I decided to go for it. I have no complaints considering what I paid. The sound quality is good and even at its regular price, the player comes with speakers which you would have to pay extra for if you bought an Ipod or other player.

The player does go thru batteries relatively quickly but no more so if you were using batteries for a Walkman. My solution to that was to purchase AAA rechargable batteries along with a recharger. The total investment for both batteries and the recharger is probably about $20. Considering how much one pays for a pack on non-rechargable batteries, it's a good deal.

The player works also works well with my workouts. The main problem is approximately 60 songs on the player is not enough after awhile. It becomes tiresome switching changing the songs. I ended up buying a Creative Zen a few weeks ago which provides room for more songs. But if you have no experience with mp3 players, this may be a nice start for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for those who don't need all the memory., January 8, 2005

I purchased this on sale in my local Target and it's the neatest thing since sliced bread. The USB storage device is simple to use (you don't even have to install any software if you're running Windows 2000/ME or higher) and it stores enough for a good run (52 mp3s has been the max I've been able to put on it so far). This thing eats batteries like candy, so I only give it a 4 star rating. If you do buy this, use lithium AAA batteries, not alkaline- they're more expensive, but they'll last a lot longer.
