1.0 out of 5 stars Worked only for 6 months - tech support very unhelpful, September 20, 2009

By	Marco (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

While I was satisfied with the device while it worked, it unfortunately stopped working after only 6 months: when I plug it into the computer, it doesn't get detected. Both on the Mac where I normally use it, and on a PC where I also tried it to make sure it was not problem with the computer. It's not a matter of just a faulty connector cable because the device does light up when connected to the computer.

I emailed tech support and even though in their website they claim that this product works on a Mac (that's why I bought this mp3 player in the first place), they only had troubleshooting directions for a PC. (Nonetheless, I tried their instructions on the PC and didn't solve the problem.) I inquired about what other options I had and about the warranty and they didn't even reply back.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Little Dissapointed!!, May 9, 2009

By	Philip Willcoxon (Fort Worth, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TrekStor i.Beat sweez 4 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio (Red) (Electronics)

I thought this would be just like my old iaudio U2. In a lot of ways it is but more cheaply designed. It's a great little MP3 player. The only and main complaint I have is the shuffle feature. It won't allow you to shuffle only one folder. It shuffles the ENTIRE drive!! If you are far sided you'll want to stay away all together. The text and symbols are VERY small. I was really hoping to give this thing a good review. Honestly. I was even willing to give Trekstor the benefit of the doubt and upgrade firmware from their site BUT THERE IS NO FIRMWARE UPDATE!!! My advice is to stay away and pay a little more for a nice Cowon product. This is gonna be packed up and shipped back. Sorry Trekstor I tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice little unit, August 18, 2008

This review is from: TrekStor i.Beat sweez 2 GB MP3 Player with FM Radio (Red) (Electronics)

I bought this because I wanted something with radio and clock capabilities. The radio works much better than I had expected. The earbud earphones put out unexpectly good bass. Its easy to load with Windows Media Player. It is very light, it weighs less than my shuffle.

A few drawbacks... I would rather the thing had a cap and a normal USB plug rather than having to use a cable to connect it, the font on the display is pretty small but not unreadable, the menus can be kind of byzantine but you get used to them pretty quickly.

I gave it five stars but it is really a 4.5ish (mainly because of the tiny font)... but for $50 it is a very nice little player with lots of extra features.
