The price is right but I had to acquire a AMV Video Format converter from an internet search because the AMV Converter that came with the software did not work for me. It is difficult to use because the instructions are not very clear and very small. My player does not retain them and I have to put the keys in again every time I start it for example placing it for USB drag and drop of the converted AMV Youtube Videos into the Player - the memory for some reason does not keep the keys pushed other than the default settings. Once I figure it out the stored videos on the player played well but it is not very user friendly. The screen is small so the video pictures do not capture everything but that is to be expected for the price and acceptable for me. The Player seems to hold a lot of videos in it for its price and being 2 GB. I mainly bought it for watching videos because I have another MP3 player I use for music and audio books and radio that was reasonable price bought at my local food store. So overall I give it three (3) stars for the video storing playing and viewing. I cannot rate it for anything else for I don't use it for the other features.Get more detail about Sylvania 2GB Video MP3 Player with Full Color Screen (Black).

Save Muvo V100 1GB White/blk
I've owned this product for 3 years. I use it everyday almost all day and it's 100% reliable. I use rechargeable AAA's and carry a spare with me, but when the battery life is nearly 25 hours on an Energizer NiMh 1000mAh battery, it's not really critical. Because it uses widely available AAA format batteries, there's no hard to find $40, $80, whatever price internal lithium-ion battery to replace after 6 months-1.5 years only by sending it to the factory. The MuVo rocks because of this!
When I'm not using it at the office, I'm using it while working on my vehicles, woodworking, or exercising. I've touched this thing with water, grease, oil, rust, paint, metal dust, saw dust covered hands and it has never let me down. The plastic case cleans up very easily as well.
Over 3 years I can't even tell you how many times I've dropped it onto a concrete garage floor from several feet in the air. It's a tough little piece of electronics!
My girlfriend had an Ipod and then an Ipod shuffle (the clippy one) and they have BOTH failed in the first 2 years I owned my far cheaper MuVo. I bought her a MuVo for Christmas in 2007 and she absolutely loves it and uses it everyday as well.
It doesn't transfer files as quickly, but it doesn't need clunky software to operate either. It functions just as a flash drive so you can put music, spreadsheets, movies, whatever you like! No syncing some stupid library or waiting for file formats to convert, just drag and drop!
I'm an enormous fan of simple to operate, versatile, unlocked electronics. This is a fantastic example.Get more detail about Muvo V100 1GB White/blk.

Discount Sylvania 4GB Video MP3 Player with Full Color Screen (Black)
This thing didn't last a month. I had hooked it up to my laptop usb to recharge the battery. A couple minutes later I smelled something burning, when I rushed to my laptop, I saw the batter case at the back of this MP3 player melting. The battery overheated and melted the plastic. Didn't do any damage to my laptop as I caught it just in time. Very dangerous. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS UNIT TO ANYONE. UNSAFE.Get more detail about Sylvania 4GB Video MP3 Player with Full Color Screen (Black).

Cheap Apple iPod Video 80 GB White MA448LL/A (5.5 Generation) OLD MODEL
Okay, so you're thinking of buying an iPod. You've seen the iPod Touch and you've been blown away. Who wouldn't be? It's a great little gizmo. You can do a lot with it, surf the web, play Tetris, learn Japanese, do e-mail, play music and so much more, but if you're like me and have more music than you can shake a stick and you want to carry it with you wherever you go, then the iPod Touch just might not cut the mustard, storage wise.
If it's just music or videos you want an iPod for. Or if you have an iPhone and you need a second device to carry around your music, then I'd heartedly recommend a 5th Gen iPod. Read on and see why.
I was cruising Amazon, checking out small hard drives, as I wanted to carry all my music around with me. I somehow wound up the page for the Apricorn Bio Hard Drive, a beautiful little beauty, to be sure, but I don't really need to protect my music from prying eyes, or ears for that matter. However, I clicked on over to their website and I found something much better than an external drive. I found their upgrade kit for the 5th Generation iPods and I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.
If you've got either the 5th Generation 30GB, the 60GB or the 80GB you are in luck, because not only do you have one great machine, but you can make it outstanding. Apple's current iPod Classic carries 160GB of storage, with the upgrade from Apricorn you can turn your 5th Gen 30GB iPod into a 120GB beauty and Apricorn throws in a new 580mAH battery with the hard drive along with all the direction and the tools you'll need to do the job yourself. Yeah, you don't have to send your machine to Apple to replace that battery. It's not that hard.
But what if you've got a 5th Gen 60 or 80GB iPod. Well for over half a C note less than what a new iPod Classic costs, you can upgrade the iPod you have with 240GB of storage, yeah, 240 gigs, that's a lot of music. And you get a new battery with this upgrade, too. So, how hard is the upgrade to do. It took me twenty minutes, it's easier than you'd think. Once finished, hook the iPod up to you're computer and let iTunes do it's magic and you're good to go.
The 5th Gen iPod is a solid music player even without upgrading. It's easy enough to sink it with iTunes and change the music on it. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone, but if you want more, well you can have it.Get more detail about Apple iPod Video 80 GB White MA448LL/A (5.5 Generation) OLD MODEL.

Purchase Visual Land V-Stick 4 GB MP3/WMA/Pen Drive/FM Radio/Voice Recorder (Black)
This product is awesome! It's light but durable. I love that it connects directly to my usb port...no cords to deal with. I love the ease of dragging and dropping my music. That saves a few steps. I like that it can function as both my mp3 player and my flash drive. Now if I find myself at the library, I know I'll have my flash drive on hand if I need it. It's also pretty user friendly once you get the hang of it. I really like this for the most part. The part I don't like is that it makes these noises when the music is stopped or just quiet. It sounds like I can hear the inner workings. That's pretty much my only complaint though.
p.s. the headphones that came with it are awesome too. I have really small ears and they fit them just fine.Get more detail about Visual Land V-Stick 4 GB MP3/WMA/Pen Drive/FM Radio/Voice Recorder (Black).

Order Archos 605 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player (160 GB)
I wish I had taken heed of the negative reviews...but being stubborn and stupid might I add, I ignored them all the went ahead and poured my money down the drain buying this piece of electronic junk! It is the MOST temperamental gadget I have EVER had the misfortune of owning or using! It freezes for no apparent reason other than a freeze is overdue since the last one about 15 mins ago!! I have at least heeded the advice about Archos's call center and I have not bothered to call or send it back. Life is too short. A lesson has been learnt though. I will NEVER purchase another Archos piece of junk again. A word of advice to anyone still foolish enough to ignore the negative feedback...make sure you carry a paper clip with you everywhere as part of the accessory kit...you will need it for all the constant resets!!!!Get more detail about Archos 605 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player (160 GB).

Where To Buy RCA Lyra Slider 8GB Digital Media Player (Black)
This player is AWESOME in several regards.
1. The ease of use is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. It is a plug and play device. Plug it into Windows XP, Vista, or higher PC and the computer knows how to deal with it, and gets the software needed from the ROM in the slider itself. No CD to misplace or lose. Would be PERFECT for someone like me that uses a Netbook without a CD or DVD drive
2. Porting MP3s over to the device could not be easier. Go to My Computer Log into the hard drive, directory. or thumb drive and select one or multiple directories click on the option "Send to" feature and choose the Lyra Slider as the destination, sit back and relax while the directories, files in those directories, and sub-directories are copied into the Lyra verbatim. I copied at least 90 hours of audio into the slider (14 hours of music, and five unabridged audio books. In other words I threw every MP3 file I had into it and only had it half full. the 2000 songs is a low estimate in my opinion.
3. The sound was amazing. The slider has the best and most comfortable ear buds I have ever used
4. The other reviewer is absolutely correct about the Lyra DESPERATELY needing the option to have multiple play lists. because when it starts it always starts playing the first song (unless you choose some files as favorites) If you turn off the player it goes back to the file you were playing. but multiple play lists would be VERY helpful.
5. Ease of use is a peach. If you want to delete a file for some reason you can do it from the player without the need to plug the player into the computer.
6 battery life is great! I have used it more than 2o hours in the last four days and have not seen a low battery indicator yet.
This player has three real down sides (the reason I only gave it four stars.
1. No multiple play lists.
2. I have not seen a randomiser or shuffle option in the four days I have used it.
3. The biggest downer for me is that every time you turn the devicce on it takes time you want to be listening to something to generate the current tracks in the device. They should only do this AFTER the player has been plugged into the computer.Get more detail about RCA Lyra Slider 8GB Digital Media Player (Black).

Shop For gr8er1 8GB Touch Screen MP3/MP4 Media Device
Be careful when deciding what kind of video player to buy. On here there are many different vendors. They use many of the same pictures as each others, but the kicker is that they put words on their websites. The photos show a nice set up but after you order you see that the pictures weren't what you were getting. The accessories you see in the photos don't come like you seen. Some don't come with the product at all. This exact media/video player is not worth the money. I mean yeah it works kinda and is affordable but you are better off going with a real brand. The touchscreen should be called a push screen because this is not a fingertip slid kind of screen it is a break a nail or the screen itself before it registers the touch. I recommend going to kmart or somewhere with a layaway if you can't afford to get the one you want right now before you settle with this garbage in a box.

Sylvania 2GB MP3 Player with Video and Rubberized Finish (Pink)
I purchased this for my grand-daughter. She immediately fell in love with it. The dislay is more than adequate for the unit's functions, color is good also. Sound quality is excellent. The enclosed headphones are of a better quality than most "Bud Headphones", they insert into te ear canal and you dont get any outside distortion or noise. I plan on buying more because the other grandkids want them now.Get more detail about Sylvania 2GB MP3 Player with Video and Rubberized Finish (Pink).

Hello Kitty Digital Photo Frame/MP3 Player - Pink (KT4601SD) Review
This is an adorable mp3 player. Comes with a cute little pouch and a neck strap and sparkly pink ear buds. It's great when it works. But, that doesn't happen frequently enough.
It takes several minutes to read an SD card and start playing music. That's when it's working. Sometimes, it will decide to shut down before it finishes reading the SD card. Yesterday, I tried three times to have it play, each time it would try to boot up and then would shut down. Another time it went into record mode and wouldn't come out.
This thing has too many features for what it is. Why does a tiny device that can only handle 2gig SD cards try to play music, manage photos, AND record? And possibly other things, it has very elaborate menus. Besides, being Hello Kitty it should probably be simple since it's mostly aimed at children. It should have one button -> on/off, and when it is on, it should play the music and shuffle through the pics on the card. And it should not take ~2 minutes to boot up.Get more detail about Hello Kitty Digital Photo Frame/MP3 Player - Pink (KT4601SD).

Latte iVü 8 GB Video MP3 Player with Built-in Camera and FM Transmitter (Black) Top Quality
It has a great screen. I put an avi movie on it and it looked great. Music sounds very good also. You have 8 preset equalizer settings you can choose from or you can make one of your own. The earbuds are decent. The two internal speakers are just for convenience when your testing the thing. They don't put out much sound. You will want external speakers. It's treated as a usb device. You just create folders on the PMP and drag and drop, so it will work with a mac. There is a hold button and you can shuffle all of your music. The photos I put on it looked great after I turned up the brightness of the screen in the settings menu. It will not play when it is charging. Don't buy it for camera. What can you expect for two megapixels? It takes a little while to get used to the buttons but once you play with it it's a snap. If you expect an ipod I guess you better buy one. For the price this is a pretty good player. I almost forgot. It has FM radio and picks up stations pretty good. Other things it does that I don't care about: Text reader, calendar, stop watch, voice recorder, and video camera. I didn't bother with those. I also didn't bother with the cd that came with it.Get more detail about Latte iVü 8 GB Video MP3 Player with Built-in Camera and FM Transmitter (Black).

Dolphin Water Proof MP3 player 1GB Memory This instant
I bought this MP3 player to attach to my swim goggles over a year ago. I have used it dozens of times for hundreds of hours, and have had no problems at all. The earplugs are still water tight and the sound quality is still excellent. It has turned my rather boring lap swimming into a pleasure. When I first bought it, I had a small problem with the instructions and an accessory part. I called the vendor, spoke to a real person, and he resolved my issue quickly and to my satisfacton.

Mach Speed Trio 4GB MP3 and MP4 Video Player (Black) Best Quality
Been using this for about 2 months. Use it for both music and video.
For music - battery life is great at 6-8 hours. Sound quality is good (though I am not an audiophile) , and you can select from a half a dozen equalizer options including creating your own. (Sound quality is mainly dependent on earbud quality.)
For video - screen size is large enough to enjoy movies or TV. The battery life is about 2 hours with video. When the battery gets too low, it shuts off the player without warning. That is annoying.
Has a built speaker - not very good, but most people will never use it very much, so speaker quality is a non issue for me.
Player takes micro SD cards. I have used 2GB and 8GB cards without a problem. I suggest you get an 8GB card. The cost is minimal and increases the memory tremendously. When attached to your computer, the player and the SD card look like hard drives and you can add/delete files to the player and SD card directly. On the player, the SD card files are listed separately from the files on the internal drive, so you do have to find you music/video files on the SD card (Not a big deal).
I covered my screen with a screen protector as there are no cases around that will fit this player. The back side is shiny (chromed) metal and can also get scratched (I don't care).
Have not used other features much - Radio, Ebook, Stopwatch, Photo.
The Trio V430 is a great value. May get a 2nd one for my wife.Get more detail about Mach Speed Trio 4GB MP3 and MP4 Video Player (Black).
