Firt off I must say I started not to purchase the VP-02 because it looks rather cheap. But I took a chance and I'm glad I did. I was pleased with the features it has, FM tuner, voice recording, 4 EQ settings, case with belt clip, ease of operation, the display is really esay to read and the ability to expand the memory was a big plus. You don't find that on most players.

The software is great also, but I perfer to use Music Match to download my songs because I can select the song straight from my playlist without have to remember which songs I wanted to hear.

The player software works great on XP too! no problem there. The Pulse 02 is a great little player.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this thing!, December 23, 2003

I bought this as a present for myself and I love it. I don't use a Mac Computer, so I have had no trouble with this device and my windows xp machine. The mp3 player radio has 25 presets. The radio tuner works so well, I can even pick up local colleges weak radio stations. The battery life is really good compared to how many batteries I was using for my portable cd player.

The virgin software that comes with this thing is so easy to use. It also came with nice real one software that takes seconds to turn your CD's into MP3's.

The mp3 player is so light, yet seems well made. It came with a wrist strap, a clip for your belt and a leather case. The earbuds are a good size and sound great. The blue backlight screen is cool looking.

The sound on this thing is awesome. Depending on what you want your music to sound like, you can fit alot on this thing - I compressed my mp3's to 96k and I was able to fit 50 on it. I have made file folders for all the different artists. I have not used the sd/mmc memory slot yet. I think anyone who buys this player will love it!

I was considering getting an MP3 player, particularly and iPod for a long time. While an iPod is the best way to go if you want a 1,000+ song archive and a rechargeable battery is important, this thing is only as big as a zippo and easily will fit in the smallest of pockets. Another great feature is the built in microphone and radio recorder. It's easy to use and I have yet to have a problem in practical use. I heard one user saying he was having trouble with the Macintosh, but i use a mac and called customer service and now it works fine. I recommend this player to anyone looking for a 128 MB player especially if a microphone feature is important. A+ virgin, good job.
