Creative MuVo TX FM 128 MB MP3 Player Order Now

I own a Creative MuVo TX FM 1GB MP3 Player that is great! But, I paid the same for it as this 128MB player is currently listed for. You can get a much larger capacity player than this for the same price. Unfortunately the newer 2GB MuVo V100 has some significant issues with download speed and folder/track navigation so I can't recommend it.Get more detail about Creative MuVo TX FM 128 MB MP3 Player.

RCA M4308 8GB Digital Media Player Right now

Pros: Wal*Mart didn't hassle me about bringing it back.

Cons: This piece of doo-doo locked up and failed to boot three times in 48 hours. Also, I can't say anything BAD enough about Audiovox's "Customer Service."

Summary: Don't waste you time, money and good nature.

A year or so ago I bought a new car with a nice factory stereo, which in addition to playing MP3 and WMA formatted CDs, had an 'AUX' input for portable stereo devices. One can plug in, for example, a portable cassette player, 8-Track (no, I never owned one) or MP3 player. For a while, I used the MP3 player in my camera/cellular phone, but it does not keep your place in the music if you use another function, and its playlist editing capability is, well, limited. I wanted a dedicated MP3 player primarily for use in the car (those Public Radio beg-a-thons can be SO tedious) and on the commuter bus.

Wal*Mart had a selection of MP3s available right after Christmas, ranging in price from about $30 to $230, not including the Fruit Machine EyePods. There were a few Sony machines in my price range, but the screens were on the small side. They also offered a handful of Philips MP3 players, but many of the reviews I had read were negative. There were also a couple of RCA players, including the 8GB 'Opal' series model M4308. It had a 2" screen (minimal, with my aging eyes) and didn't require an indentured servitude to the Company iStore to load my own files. I brought it home for $50, and left it connected to my computer for the required four hours before starting it, while I loaded music and videos onto it per the manual.

When I had loaded less than 2GB into the flash RAM and finished the charging cycle, I disconnected the unit and turned it on. It told me it was creating the library, and that it could take a few minutes. I went and made dinner and took care of other chores, I checked the player, and found it was still creating the library - an hour and ten minutes later. I had a $50 brick on my hands.

I tried to find help on the RCA consumer service website, but it's a hopeless case. I finally called their 800- line and talked to the AudioVox (surprise!) Customer Support desk. They sent me an eMail, which told me to go to the AudioVox website and click something from the front page. Guess what? Their front page is a Flash animation with loud music and four selections: "Find a Product | Product Registration | Corporate Information | Branded Sites," none of which lead directly to the Consumer Support area. I called the Customer Support desk back, and the RUDE S.O.B. called me an IDIOT (his word) and told me what I needed was right there in front of me! Gee, I'm sorry, but I'm only a professional Computer Scientist, and I can't navigate a website that their CSRs obviously haven't seen since the last update.

I hung up on the @$$ and downloaded the firmware update I needed from the RCA Audio-Video website. The good news was that it de-bricked the unit. The bad news is that a firmware upgrade requires formatting the flash RAM - bye, bye tunes and movies. One can still backup the contents to the computer, but what a pain. Without loading any files to the machine, it booted okay. I loaded up some music and short videos (see NOTE, below). Again, it booted, and played fine. As I filled the RAM with files, I discovered that the device had bricked again. Repeat after me: "Wipe, reload, repeat." Progressing slowly, I found that the Opal hung once I had loaded more than 1.5 gigabytes of files onto it, even using their own software. I have also discovered that it hangs when you use the 'drag and drop' method to load any unsupported file formats (MPEG-4, for example).

In less than 48 hours, this little nightmare had hung three times, requiring major brain surgery (a lobotomy) to correct. I took it back to Wal*Mart, where the Service Desk attendant told me that she had personally processed three returns over two weeks. I traded it in on the new Sony Walkman NWZ-S540 (16GB with built-in speakers) for twice the price, but I haven't had a single problem with that one.

Do not even consider the RCA 'Opal' 4300 series. You will face nothing but heartbreak (or heartburn) and disappointment.

NOTE: The M4308's press claims it supports the AVI, MPEG-4 and WMV video formats. Only conditionally - you have to use their "RCA EasyRip" software to convert it to Sigmatel's proprietary SMV format. That conversion takes longer than the video's runtime for anything longer than a few minutes.Get more detail about RCA M4308 8GB Digital Media Player.

Lowest Price Skullcandy Men's MacGyver 1GB MP3 Player Watch # McG-B1024

I bought this watch because it was on sale for $35 and I figured it would be nice to have to sneak music in almost anywhere.

Pros:
1) included headphones are nice, enough slack
2) watch serves as voice recorder, mp3 player, and flash drive
3) sound recorded is good quality
4) good sound quality
5) included pod cast software, even though I haven't used it, nice to know I can
6) glow in the dark dials and time tick marks are nice addition in absence of built in button light
7) steal at 35 bucks

cons:
1) not waterproof, for someone like me that woulda easily bumped the price up to 150
2) a lil bulky on the wrist, but not uncomfortable
3) controls are a bit confusing, after skimming through the instructions, I've yet to learn how to work the shuffle and master the sound recorder
4) for a unit so small I know it wouldn't have an organized way of picking songs besides moving forward and backwards through the tracks 1 by 1, but man is 1 gb a lot of music to go through to find that one song you want.Get more detail about Skullcandy Men's MacGyver 1GB MP3 Player Watch # McG-B1024.

Low Price Centon Craze 4GB MP3 Player (Blue)

I bought 2 of these MP3 players. Result after 3 months of very moderate use:

One was only playing for 1hr before the cheap, plastic on/off switch broke and rendered the unit useless
The second one only plays for 1hr and only immediately after being charged. If you wait a couple days after charging there is not even enough power to start up the unit.

Discount Tricod iQfm Extreme fm-iqfmexbl - Digital player with RF modulator

I drive a Toyota RAV4 and wanted some way to play the music I want, since the radio station selection where I live is pretty poor. I've been doing music downloads, CD ripping and burning for a while, and I was pleasantly surprised to find these FM modulators that would allow me to take my digital music with me in the car.

Pros:
1. Plays WMA format.
2. Simple to use (once you figure out a couple of small things)
3. Decent sound (but what do you expect from an OEM stereo system, in a vehicle that has quite a bit of wind/road noise?..the RAV4 is NO concert hall!)

Cons:
1. If you're a true audiophile, this device probably won't do it for you.
2. Very skimpy instructions...when I first set it up, I had no idea what to look for to see that my car "recognized" the device. When it powered up through the cigarette lighter, the display instantly showed a bunch of icons in the VERY tiny display window. I did see some words that read "No Device." When nothing else happened for a while, I went ahead and inserted my SD card in the slot. Nothing changed, and nothing played. I knew I was on a clear FM station, so I figured the Tricod just didn't work and wasn't transmitting a signal to the stereo system. When I had more time later, and took a close look at the display, I could see that the "No Device" message referred to the SD card (there was a vague outline of an SD card next to the words.) Turns out I had inserted the SD card upside down. So please note that you need to insert the card label side DOWN. Once I turned the card over and re-inserted it, the device started working as advertised. However, this lack of information in the instructions is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

A surprising thing..once the device started working on the totally clear FM channel, I found that I had to turn the stereo's volume to the max to hear the music above a faint level. I was still ready to return the thing, when I decided to try tuning in to some of the other FM stations. When I tuned in to another one of the Tricod's designated frequencies (a station that was clearly in use), the Tricod's signal was actually stronger, and I could hear the music just fine at a more normal volume level. Strange...

I've never used any of the other FM modulators, so I can't compare the Tricod with them.

Cheapest Cowon D2 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black)

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and find the D2 an excellent device for that purpose, in particular the bookmarks feature. The Cowon works with NetLibrary,Overdrive and Audible. The display is large and clear, which I appreciate. The battery seems to last forever, much longer than other MP3s I have owned.

I have Vista Home Premium, 64-bit on my computer, and had no compatibility problems.

The manual and customer support pages are terrible. The manual doesn't cover all of the functions, at least that I could find, like how to delete bookmarks. That took a lot of trial and error. [On the bookmarks page, click "settings" at the bottom of the page, and choose to delete one or all bookmarks from the menu.]

My other complaint is that the display, while large and clear, is very busy, and it's not possible to delete unwanted information. I've read that the new version, the D2+, has an improved display. When I purchased the D2 I didn't think the improved display was worth an additional $30, but now I'm not so sure.

I have not found the JetAudio software very useful and don't have it on my computer, but perhaps that's because I don't listen to music that much on the Cowon.Get more detail about Cowon D2 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black).

Cheap Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player with FM Tuner (Red)

I own an Ipod Nano (5th generation) and I keep that docked in my stereo as when it comes to using an MP3 player when running or at my desk, I prefer the Sony Walkman. Hands down!! Just easier to use, better sound (once I got different headphones) and less accidental menu selections.

Also, my Walkman (same model shown here) doesn't rely on I-tunes. I LIKE that as I use Rhapsody to buy my songs. You can use Windows Media Player to manage/transfer play-lists.

Again, my only one complaint was I didn't like the headphones so I bought a set I prefer and all is well now.

Buying Archos 105 2 GB Flash Video MP3 Player (Gray)

I saw this Archo105 [under forty bucks] on Amazon and bought it for fun. It is smaller than a credit card, very thin and weighs nothing. Put it in your shirt pocket and you'll forget it's there.
The sound is great. The video player is not so great but watchable. The interface is sorta clunky, not pretty. It does have shuffle.
No removable battery/no sd card slot/no external lock(hold) button.

Archos105 interfaces with Windows media player 10, which will sync and easily convert many file types including AVI to mp3 or wmv. It will not convert mp4 files.(I don't know about Mac interface.) Since this player will only play mp3 and wmv files, other files will need to be converted to play in the windows media player v10.

I am surprised how much video this 2gb player holds. When converted to wmv files, a 250mb avi file shrinks to about 57 megabytes. I have a whole season of The Simpsons on my player with lots of room to spare.
For the money it is a good deal and I'm happy with this player.
A far better item is a Meizu player which has more EQ options and a much bigger and better screen and is just as small.Get more detail about Archos 105 2 GB Flash Video MP3 Player (Gray).

Buy Philips SA1110/37 1 GB Flash MP3 Player (Black)

I agree with most of the negatives/CONS posted already. (e.g. the packaging IS DECEPTIVE, i.e. it APPEARS you are getting a unit the exact size and SHAPE of a 7-stick gum pack, but it's really quite a bit thicker, and triangular in cross-section.)

Also, I can see the *potential* for the USB cap to become loose-fitting, but after 24 months, mine's still snug. Knock on plastic.

OTOH, karma swung my way: i.e. agreed to pay $75 (incl. tax, May 2007) only because $40 mail-in rebate included from Office ____. Months go by, no rebate, visit customer website, clickety-click-click... then TWO $40 rebate checks show up! So they PAID ME $5 to take it off their hands, nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

Later on, I would need that fiver to buy new Philips-Magnavox (ChiCom) earbuds, as the wire for first one channel, then the other, eventually broke inside the original plug's strain-relief. No violent bending involved, just normal use. Perhaps a right-angle plug would prove more durable?

PROS: 1) EASY (albeit slow) to load files on--it's ALPHABETICAL! (Wish my bloody Nokia phone were so straightforward!) If you want the folder called 'Xray Death Metal' to be first, just prefix a zero or 'a' to the title. For what you wish to be last, place a small 'z' in front of the name. Similarly inside the folders, simply prefix numerals to change the "natural" order to the desired sequence. Duh-simple. I like it.

2) Nice nuanced assortment of equalizers.

3) Handles several NON-MP3 formats, including some very compact versions of WMA. Kudos.

4) Voice memo function handy, voice quality very good, even in vehicle; more than adequate for dictation. (Have NOT tested it in high-din situation, e.g. lecture hall.)

5) Fits securely in the excellent and affordable Tunebelt AB3 armband.

6) Accurate and linear battery meter.

Pro/con: *does* remember exactly where you were in which file during battery swapout, but ONLY IF: a) you manually shutdown before battery dies completely; and b) you swap the battery quickly, say less than 20 secs. empty-bay time... as if it uses a small capacitor to keep "pointers" alive in a volatile memory...? Anyway, that's how it behaves.

CONS: 1) Agonizingly SLOW FF/REW function! This is the only REAL DEAL KILLER: It's only 4x normal speed! So to jump (crawl) to minute 30 of an hour-long podcast/language lesson/lecture, you're holding down the FF button for 7.5 minutes! Holy thumb-cramp, Batman! And with NO audio feedback (you know, that screechy accelerated sample-stream), so now you have to WATCH the timer to avoid overshoot... on an AUDIO device... oh, the cruel IRONY... Bloody HELL!

This could easily be remedied in firmware, but Philips has NEVER issued a single firmware update for this product, AFAICT. You know, like maybe after holding the FF/REW down for more than 30 seconds, it *accelerates* to perhaps 10x, or better yet, 16x!... HELLO Dutch persons!!!... ;')

2) Awkward ergonomics. Whereas w/ iPod you can activate anything/everything with a single hand/thumb, this SA1110 unit requires 2 thumbs plus 2 index fingers! I call it the "crab-pincer" interface, LOL.

3) Klugey, stilted menu navigation. e.g. the FF/REW button doubles as the folder-skip button, but there's WAY too many pushes of THREE separate buttons required to make this function-swap! Ridiculous. Annoying, actually. Not to mention AVOIDABLE... a little thinkin' and designin' next time 'round, eh?

RE: Battery life--I get about 4 hrs. per hybrid re-chargeable AAA. Since I rarely use it more than 2 hrs./day, no problem keeping it ready by rotating a pair of batteries dedicated for this purpose.Get more detail about Philips SA1110/37 1 GB Flash MP3 Player (Black).

Order Apple iPod Photo 60 GB White M9586LL/A (4th Generation) OLD MODEL

If there's one thing Apple knows how to do, it's to create hype and not a quality product. This is the second iPod I have owned and this is also junk. Every six months or so, I have to have it repaired. The first time was under warranty, so that was no big deal. Afterward, I bought a 1-year extended warranty for $60 just to protect myself and good thing I did. This iPod broke down again twice during the extended warranty period. Now that the warranty has expired, the battery died and cost $60 to replace. Two weeks after replacing the battery, the whole unit won't start up. I tried connecting the iPod to the computer to troubleshoot, but it doesn't even connect.

Unfortunately, my kids have to have an iPod because their friends have one. So now I've bought them the next generation iPod which also has video. I won't be surprised if the new one breaks down as well. I've already told my kids this is the last iPod I am ever buying and they will have to get jobs (no pun intended) if they ever want another one.

Bottom line:
==> When the iPod is working, it's good.
==> If you must buy an iPod, budget for the extended warranty because you will surely need it.
==> Consider other items, like the Creative Labs "Zen" series. I have owned two different Zens, and I have not had any problems at all.
==> I will not buy any other Apple iPod. I'm hoping a competitor will come out with something similar to the iPhone.Get more detail about Apple iPod Photo 60 GB White M9586LL/A (4th Generation) OLD MODEL.

iriver H10 6 GB Digital MP3 Player Grey Top Quality

This device had problems almost from the very beginning. It would often freeze after syncing music or pictures to it. After just a few months it completely stopped working. A clock icon with the message "System initializing, Please wait" would remain on the screen and would not turn off unless the battery was removed, which it would continue doing after the battery was reinserted. The only way to undo this was to completely reformat and delete the memory. This issue would repeat every few months. The customer service on the iRiver site did not provide any helpful information. I finally called their number and the representative was very rude and ill-tempered, all with heavy background noise. He apparently knew nothing about the problem, insisting that it could be fixed by once again resetting the device.

I strongly recommend steering clear of all iRiver merchandise.Get more detail about iriver H10 6 GB Digital MP3 Player Grey.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8 GB MP3 Player (Silver) + Accessory Kit Get it now!

I LOVE my Fuze. I chose it because I wanted more flexibility than I Pod gives for the types of files I can download. I wanted to be able to download audiobooks from the library and I love how easy that is. I did have some trouble figuring out how to download videos, but Sansa Tech help was great. You can download from ITunes (podcasts... etc) and they will transfer to your windows media player seemlessly. Videos require a conversion.

Rca Th1101 Pearl Series Thumbdrive Mp3 Player (1 Gb) Buy Now

This is the perfect MP3 player for me and my needs. I sometimes take 25-100 mile bike rides and that's why I chose this MP3 player. The majority of MP3 players don't take batteries (they're charged by your computer when you connect them to the USB port). The problem with all the MP3 players on the market today (excluding the Pearl) is when you're on the "x"th mile of a bike ride or in the middle of the wilderness, and the batteries run out, you can't just hook it up to some USB port (which is unnecessary with this MP3 player because it takes a battery). It's as if all the other MP3 players on the market expect you to have a computer with you so you listen to music for hours (or days) on end. The PEARL mp3 player is perfect FOR ME because: it take a battery, it's small, it's durable, it's cheap and has the ability to hold plenty of mp3s to keep me "charged up" when I'm half way through a long bike ride.

I've owned two of these MP3 players so far and I've had no problems with either of them. The only reason I bought a 2nd one is because I accidentally dropped my first mp3 player into the ocean. And although I expected it to be broke from being dipped in the ocean, it still worked. The display was messed up a little from the salty water. This is an outstanding MP3 player all around. If you take long trips AND can't hook up to some USB port, THIS IS THE MP3 PLAYER YOU WANT. I highly recommend it, 5 stars!Get more detail about Rca Th1101 Pearl Series Thumbdrive Mp3 Player (1 Gb).

RCA TH1802 2 GB Pearl MP3 Player With FM Radio Right now

The only plus for this MP3 player is the size, it's very small and can fit in a pocket. It does have a clip, but the clip is so cheaply made and comes off very easily so that you would not want to use it because you could lose the MP3 player. I do like the direct USB connectivity however. I do not like the battery, it should have a rechargable battery, instead you must constantly change batteries. Also you cannot add memory. I would not recommend this item. For the price, buy a Sansa Fuze, which is very comparable to an Ipod. Get more detail about RCA TH1802 2 GB Pearl MP3 Player With FM Radio.

Low Price Apple iPod nano 8 GB AAC/MP3 Player Red (Product) RED (2nd Generation)

I believe that the Nano peaked with the 2nd Generation model. Generation 2 increased maximum capacity from 4GB to 8GB. The 3rd, 4th and 5th Generation models of course all have video capability. While the picture is crystal clear the screen is so small that it is impossible to seriously enjoy watching a movie on this device. I have watched a few on my G3 and G4 Nanos and realize that the video capability is more of a gimmick than a real selling point. Anyone who wants to watch movies on their ipod would be better served to get an ipod video or ipod touch. Of course you don't have to use your Gen 3+ nano to view video, you can use it to listen to music and it will display the album artwork on a beautiful, larger screen than the Gen 2 nano. Here is my problem with that - if you are like me, and you skip from song to song on your ipod either in shuffle mode or picking the song, the Gen 3+ nano goes through the battery charge very quickly because of the large bright screen. Unless you keep the nano in your pocket with the display off you will get nowhere near the published battery life. So for anyone who wants to use the nano for music only and doesn't want to constantly charge it the 2nd generation nano was the best model. Of course Apple doesn't sell them anymore (even refurbished) and one is forced to go the ebay route. Each subsequent nano release has more bells and whistles which don't really do much for me. If you want the small size of the nano and are just interested in the music you have to go back a few generations.Get more detail about Apple iPod nano 8 GB AAC/MP3 Player Red (Product) RED (2nd Generation).

Discount Creative Zen Micro 5 GB MP3 Player Black

This player is great!! I have had mine for several years. I mostly listen to it on the bus on the way to and from school (about 2 hours a day). The only problem that I have had was when i left the player in the car over night when it got down to 5 degrees last year. The player wouldn't turn on so I contacted Cutomer Care. They replied quickly and said that the battery was probably fried as it had gotton so cold. With a new battery, the player works perfectly. I would highly recomend this product and Creative as well. The player's interface is kind of like the iPod although it includes FM Radio, and you don't have to pay the outragious price to get the apple mark on the player.

Cheapest Emerson Radio Barbie BAR901 MP3 Player (Pink)

This was a Christmas gift for my wife who is a barbie collector. she enjoys how well it works and enjoys the quality of workmanship. it does not have bookmarking capabilities, so when you turn it off, it starts back up at the beginning.

she has only a few songs on it, but the size will allow us to put many more songs on it.

i found the price at amazon to be the best and it was shipped two days before it was supposed to be here. Get more detail about Emerson Radio Barbie BAR901 MP3 Player (Pink).

Cheap Rca M4002 Opal Series Mp3 Player With 1.5-Inch Oled (2 Gb)

By the way, I bought this at Walmart and I see on Amazon here that's it's not being marketed as a video player. On the official website and store packaging it is. Must not be a point to make on here, since it's false. I wanted to affirm what some others said. It takes FOREVER to put music on it and I can't do it with their software, only through Windows Media Player. It must just not be very compatible with Vista.

For a regular mp3 player, this item is very good. Graphically is cool and plays music fine. My main concern is the problem I went through in trying to get the thing to play video. First you have to install converter software to make your videos compatible with the player, which wasn't a problem with me. But I couldn't get the software to recognize the player. I sent an email to their support and was told to update the firmware. On the page for my item, the firmware update was a dead link, so I got another link and proceeded to download the update. As it was installing, it needed to connect with the device to finish the process but it couldn't detect the player once again. The also gave me a link to another update on firmware for a player that was not mine and therefor useless.

On a second attempt to fix the problem, they emailed me and told me I would have to prove my item was bought within the last year with receipt and they would send me a replacement for the item with some ungodly shipping fee. Or, they informed me, I would have to buy a new one. I was upset by this because I didn't see my player as defective as it has never given me any trouble and the problem is they refuse to update their software. After their response, I have come to wonder if the thing ever was made to or able to play video in the first place or if that was some sort of trick marketing to get me to buy it.

I've never left a review on here before but the run-around they gave me prompted me to write.Get more detail about Rca M4002 Opal Series Mp3 Player With 1.5-Inch Oled (2 Gb).

Buying Archos 5 160 GB Internet Media Tablet

I love my Archos, it is wonderful. I work alot with the Deaf this is an amazing tool to assit them. However, my brother purchased a product that is simular. But this doesn't not have the nice screen or a quality like that Archos. He is so sorry that he spend so much on a different product with much LESS quality then the Archos. Now he is going to get an Archos. By the way the Archos cost quite a bit less then the product that he purchased with not as much quality. I LOVE MY ARCHOS! ! ! !

Buy Sony 4 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (Black)

I bought this MP3 player more than a year and a half ago and I have been using it quite a bit ever since. It has exceeded all my expectations, and I am very happy with it. I even bought an extra two-year warranty thinking that any piece of portable electronics is likely to have some kind of problem within two years, and then I will be provided a new one after it breaks. Well, it looks like I'm going to be out that extra money, because it still works perfectly despite falling a few times from tables and chairs, etc.

I have looked at videos and photos on this player, but the screen is a little small to really enjoy. The quality is pretty darn good for a 2-inch screen, but it's still a 2-inch screen. So I use it almost exclusively for audio -- mainly for listening while commuting, walking or jogging. It is perfect for that.

The sync function works great with Windows Media Player 11. The battery life is good for at least eight hours of audio even after 1.5 years of steady use. The sound is really wonderful, although playback is so sensitive that the defects in low bitrate MP3s are more obvious than on other players I've used.

The only big downside is the proprietary cable. Sony loves proprietary formats that no other companies use (they won't even put firewire on their computers -- they use a lame powerless version of it instead). So if you lose the cable, you have to go find a replacement and pay a premium. I wish Sony would just use a mini USB cable, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

But I haven't lost or damaged my cable yet, so my experience has been entirely pleasant. I can highly recommend this player, and when I go to buy my next one, Sony will be high on the list of the products I consider.

Purchase 2GB WMA/MP3 Digital Audio Player

The first one of these kept telling me to insert a card. The replacement seems to play the same song over and over, but that may be due to how I set it up. The display doesn't stay on, so if I am not familiar with the song & artist, I have a problem knowing what artist it is, or what the title of the song is. To be fair, I need to study the manual and go back to using it again. Maybe I can figure out how to make it go to the next song.Get more detail about 2GB WMA/MP3 Digital Audio Player.

Order Samsonic Snapbox 1 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)

I bought 5 MP3 players to give as presents, the one I kept for me was defective. I called Isonic for weeks until they answed the phone, seems like it is a residence with a answering machine for the business. So I sent the MP3 player to Isonic for replacement along with $10, as instructed, after 4 months and multiples attemps to contact them I received the replacement back on the mail, and when I connected it to charge it didnt work, the charger cable that came with it was extremelly rusted so I assumed that was the problem, called them again and they said to send it back, so I did, I tested the usb charger later with a different device and It was not working either, so I called again to explain and to my surprised the owner o person in charged was very unprofessional and argumentative. I will wait for the cable and charger and hope it works because I dont want to call back again, and if it doenst work, im goint to have to eat it and forget about it, I feel bad for the other 4 mp3 that I gave as presents I havent heard if they work or not. my personal experience was not the best with customer support, and I still have not been able to try the mp3 player after all this time.... Its been more than two months since I sent the cables, have called a couple of times but nothing has happened.Get more detail about Samsonic Snapbox 1 GB Video MP3 Player (Black).

Where To Buy Archos 504 160GB Portable Digital Media Player and Recorder (500896)

I bought an archos for travel. It performed well and doesn't have the downloading limitations of the Ipod. Plus the size. 160 gb is plenty and some. I could keep a hundred shows and movies on it with room to spare for music and pics. I don't like the necessity of purchasing plugins. The menus can be time consuming when compared to the Ipod. The rolly thing on the Ipod is so much faster. To me the pros outweigh the cons. Get one today. The 05s look pretty cool. They have wifi unlike the 04s.Get more detail about Archos 504 160GB Portable Digital Media Player and Recorder (500896).

Shop For Zune 4 GB Digital Media Player (Green)

I first had a 4GB ipod nano (2nd generation) and I really loved it. It was great just for listening to music. My fiance decided to get a zune, and once he got it I was jealous :) it was alot cooler than my ipod, it could play videos, and had better games. I found a zune that was 8gb for the same price I had paid for my ipod. The zune is definietly better than the ipod, and even the zune software is pretty cool. It works with WMP, which I liked better than iTunes. The ONLY thing that I miss about my ipod was the ability to search for a song. With zune I cant search but because it is a touch pad it is quicker. Overall, I love it. Get more detail about Zune 4 GB Digital Media Player (Green).

ZTOUCH 8GB Touch MP4 Player With Camera, E-Book, Voice Recorder, AM FM Radio, 2.8 QVGA Screen.

Purchased it for my younger son, because his older brother was getting an IPhone and I was trying to avoid possible jealousy. Also didn't realize that they're now selling the refurb ITouch for a very low price now (2G of course),

If judged by appearances only, the ZTouch looks much like an ITouch. Here's where they differ:

2.8-inch color TouchScreen is not sensitive to touch, so it took multiple firm presses on an icon to open the program and using the Stylus pen would cause scratches and possible cracks because of how firm you have to press it in order for it to work.
MP4 video player is fine
MP3 audio player FM Radio worked fine
Camera DV Camera: very poor quality..dark and fuzzy
Built-in Speaker wasn't very loud, but it worked
Battery Life is VERY short..

I contacted customer service regarding the issue and they accepted the return and process my refund quickly. Get more detail about ZTOUCH 8GB Touch MP4 Player With Camera, E-Book, Voice Recorder, AM FM Radio, 2.8 QVGA Screen..

Sony NW-E507 Network Walkman 1 GB Digital Music Player with FM Tuner Top Quality

I loved this little mp3 player! It took me forever to figure out how to use it, with the software being Sony, but eventually I figured it all out and wow.

As soon as the Sony software for the player was discontinued, I purchased a different player. I have yet to find an mp3 player with equal sound quality and a way to adjust bass. Cute and easy to read. If Sony decided to bring back their music program, I'd start using this mp3 player again! (The only thing I really hated was all of the Sony copy write BS. That made life difficult with this player.)Get more detail about Sony NW-E507 Network Walkman 1 GB Digital Music Player with FM Tuner.

I bought 2 of these MP3 players. Result after 3 months of very moderate use:

One was only playing for 1hr before the cheap, plastic on/off switch broke and rendered the unit useless
The second one only plays for 1hr and only immediately after being charged. If you wait a couple days after charging there is not even enough power to start up the unit.

Sony 2 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (White) Buy Now

I wanted a small, light MP3 player with great sound, good design, and long battery life that is easy to navigate in a dark or bright place. I wasn't much concerned for viewing movies or photos. And I wanted a good value. After reading so many reviews like this, I settled on the Sony Walkman 2 GB. It's fabulous! Much better ergonomics than the iPod nano and you're not limited to iTunes. I tried converting my jazz & classical CDs at various bit rates and the sound is just as good at the lowest rates (40). I've now got about 30 albums on it with room to spare.Get more detail about Sony 2 GB Walkman Video MP3 Player (White).

Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB Multimedia Player (Aluminum/White) Order Now

I loved this MP3 player. The software for getting music on it is super fast and easy. It holds a ton of music and is in general a great MP3 player. I started out with a Creative Zen 8gb Microphoto and was having problems with it within a month. I returned it and upgraded to this one. About a year and a half later it crapped out and is no longer usable. I took very good care of it. I have a few friends that also have Creative Zens and theirs have started having weird problems as well.
So short term its great, especially for the price but keep in mind they don't seem to be built to last.Get more detail about Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20 GB Multimedia Player (Aluminum/White).

Low Price Iriver E30 4 GB Digital Media Player (Black)

First, I am travelling, so I haven't listened to this with decent headphones and compared it against anything else. That means that I can't really comment on sound quality, except that it seems fine (the supplied earbuds are just so-so (muddy treble) but I think that's normal with something at this price).

However, the player hardware is a little disappointing - it's very light, and the plastic has a matt finish that's practical but not very attractive. Also, the front face is "dished" (the edge of the player forms a kind of "rim"). Again, that's practical - saves the screen from being scratched so easily - but doesn't look so great.

All the criticisms in the other review here are on the money. The "buttons" are simply the surface of the player flexing. That gives a clean front panel, but feels like it's not going to last. And although there's a "click" feel to them, they're easy to mix up. Worse, if you don't get the "down volume" exact, the volume goes UP (despite the "volume up button" not being the next closest button....).

On a more positive note, however, the software is quite nice. It's clean and simple, and generally easy to use (although it's not obvious that pressing and holding the right button will give you an extra menu). The LCD display isn't that wonderful, and the choice of a grey colour scheme and small album image don't help, but the layout and fonts are pretty good - it has a definite "style" that's quite modern and tasteful (although I think some people could find it ugly or too "designerish").

I run Linux, and when I connect the player to my computer, it looks just like any other USB drive - it's easy to copy music across and the player reads the ID3 information OK. Playlists are a bit more complex however - instead of using the simple text-based m3u format, it uses a binary PLA format. Fortunately someone has reverse engineered this and there are scripts available to convert to the right format (if you google "m3utopla" you'll find them; if you add my name you'll find the Python script I wrote - based on others - which also handles accents on characters correctly).

So, all in all, this isn't a great product. But the software is quite nice and the sound seems OK (I'll update this when I am more sure about that). If you want a minimal, "stylish", but slightly different player, it's worth considering, but it's no great bargain or hidden diamond...

[Later] A few extra points after using for some time. The sound quality is pretty good, although it's a bit light in the bass (the EQ can correct this). Battery life is certainly long, although 50 hours seems a bit optimistic. Two pretty major frustrations with the playlist capability: first, when you have a large playlist (hundred or more items say) it pauses for a long time (minute or more?) before starting to play the list; second there's no way I can find to easily see what you listened to just before ("playing now" doesn't link to the playlist). It seems to have issues reading some MP3 tags.Get more detail about Iriver E30 4 GB Digital Media Player (Black).

Discount Memorex MMP8590-BLK - Digital player / radio - flash 2 GB - WMA, MP3, protected WMA (DRM 10) - display: 1.5" - black

This posting is to keep a promise to the Memorex Customer Service Represenative I delt with that I would post my awful experience every place I could on the Web.
******************************************************************
I bought an Memorex MMP8565 and had it just up an die and not power up for no obvious reason.

It would come back to life a few hours later, maybe but then die..some kind of intermittent or firmware glitch.

Still under Warranty, but had the worst experience I have had in sometime with Memorex Customer Service. Had no suggestions and said what was taking place couldn't and then said send unit and more money for Shipping and Handling.

I said I would consider if they would replace the unit. Couldn't guarantee that even though I told them it was an intermittent problem.

So spend more money and maybe get the same flaky piece of junk back if it chose that period to work for their tech.

So WARNING, if you think you could have a problem, Memorex Customer Service will not help you.
