1.0 out of 5 stars eGo is a NoGo, July 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: i2Go eGo 64MB MP3 Player (Blue) (Electronics)

I bought one of these cute little players because of the recommendations off another MP3 site. When it arrived, the first thing I found out was that it wasn't that little or that cute. it looked more like a pager from 1982. After 6 attempt at installing the software on my desktop computer I gave up and managed to install it on the laptop instead. That didn't help much in downloading songs to the player, it hung on the second song download every time. I had to buy an adapter for the CF card so that I could download songs directly to the card. Once I did get a few songs on the player its sound was OK, but no better than he Genoa MP3 CD I bought laster year. The last straw happened a few days later. I had attached the eGo to my belt while out running errands. I tuned the player off while I picking up a few items in a drugstore. On leaving the store I went to start the eGo but it wouldn't play. Due to a moronic design flaw, the Ego's card slot is open and on the bottom of the player so when it was attached to the belt clip the CF card had fallen out and was lost. I gave the player one last shot and tried 2 of the 128mb cards I use for my digital camera but neither would play in the eGo. Apparently, the devise only support a very limited number of cards on the market. The only help I got from the company in response to several email about the software problems was, "Did you read our web site?"

My advise to you is find a player with a little more thought behind it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't Rate it because I can't get it to work, September 3, 2000

The reviews I have read made me confident in purchasing this MP3. However, I cannot get it to work and it may even be my fault. The problem is 3 fold.

1st it does not even come with a manual to tell you how to use it.

2nd customer service has regular business hours EST. I am on the West Coast and have never talk to anyone. (I have had it for 2 weeks)

3rd online help is not much better.

I am sure this MP3 is great when you get it running, but if you ever have a problem.....you are on your own.
