4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Stylish, and Easy to Use, June 3, 2009

By	Eena "mom of 3 monsters" (South Kakalaki) - See all my reviews

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my pink! It's so cute and the girliest prettiest shade of pink ever. The buttons are super sensitive, super touchy and you press everything you don't mean to at first until you get the hang of it. Very easy to put mp3 songs on- either drag and drop from a folder on your computer or sync using Windows Media Player or Realplayer. Can only make one playlist on the player unless you rearrange all your music on the computer and even then some songs don't go to the right artists or genre but I think this happens with some other players too. Picture quality isn't awesome and to be perfectly honest, with only 2GB on this thing, I don't mess with it because it's a waste of precious song space. Can't comment on video quality but you need to use included CD to convert videos to smv format. Again, a waste of space for me, so I don't utilize this feature. The voice recorder works well, playback is loud and clear. Included Sennheiser headphones are comfortable and sound quality is great, far better than the ones that came with my husband's Sandisk Sansa or any of the other cheap ones we have laying around the house, certainly not Bose but better than adequate. FM radio has been great, reception for me has been very good, but my friend whom I also gave this same player to complains that she can't pick up a couple of her favorite stations, so maybe it depends where you are when using it. It charges pretty quickly, within just a few hours, 3-4 and battery has lasted pretty long for me too, but I don't try to listen for 12 hours straight or anything. Had a hard time finding a case for it, but I am also leaving the link for the one I finally did find which is a perfect fit.

It's the Case Logic UNP-1 Universal Neoprene Pocket - Small (PINK/WHITE). Comes in silver and other colors too and cost about 7 bucks from J&R music.

I got a great deal on this player for about 23 bucks including shipping from J&R Music here on Amazon (Amazon was selling it for 50 at the time). It is my first mp3 player, and so far the only problem I'm having is that I think I might need one with more storage space on it. This holds supposedly 500 mp3 songs. I currently have 433 on mine and just a tiny bit more space to go. Wish it had an SD expansion slot like my husband's Sansa does. Oh yeah, please note- the headphone jack is also where the USB charger goes into and you can't listen to it while it's charging. I tried to get one of those wall chargers for it but haven't figured out yet if it charges it or not. Will let you know when I do. All in all, pretty happy with it for a 1st player but will eventually need to upgrade myself. 4 stars for quality, looks, simplicity, and most of all price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not user friendly, April 22, 2009

By	Michelle S (real name too revealing) "boot ju... - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I would say I hate this device but I don't know if I do or not. I can't figure out how to work it. It has the WORST directions of anything I've ever used. The device is cute and small and that's what I was looking for when I had to reluctantly replace the one I've used for several years. If I ever figure out what I'm doing with it I will change to a kinder review but I don't have a lot of hope for that. Reading the (deplorable) directions I see that one can only make playlists using the buttons on the device and do it individually for every song through a process- there seems to be no ability to do so on the computer. I will lose patience with that very quickly. Presuming I ever get that far.

I think it's probably not a well thought out/user friendly device to begin with but the directions make a bad situation terrible. I'm off to beg my son to figure it out...and probably to look at other mp3 players.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love my Pink , April 10, 2008

By	JoJo32 "JoJo32" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

Just got the Pink in pink color, (available in black color also)
The size and design of this MP3/MP4 player is so nice -smaller and thinner then other brands (great for commuting).
Easy to use (touch buttons) for songs, pictures and videos
Great video quality and excellent sound (Sennheiser earphones).
Good for working out.
With more built-in features than most competitive devices (built-in FM radio tuner, voice recorder). I would definitely recommend this product.
