Lowest Price ibiza Rhapsody HV18A-4G MP4 Player with Long Playback

Bought this looking for an inexpensive MP3 player that works with the Rhapsody service.

1) this player works well enough with Rhapsody-To-Go -- putting an album on the player is as simple as dragging the album link over to the player icon in the Rhapsody interface.

2) the player's menu structure and overall interface is pretty damned clunky. I could fully spec out a 10x better interface for Haier on a whiteboard in about an hour. But, ultimately, you put your music on it, it plays it, it works.

3) the biggest flaw: IT PLAYS ALBUM TRACKS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, not in the order they appear on the album. There is no way to change this -- you pick an album, it plays the songs alphabetically, that's it. I don't see any way to give it playlists or anything useful along those lines either (if there is, it probably won't work with Rhapsody albums).

4) it has an FM radio, which works reasonably well, I guess. I've seen reviews of the unit on the web that suggest it has a built-in FM transmitter for playback via your car radio. This is false -- it doesn't. It's a radio, not a transmitter.

Again, I repeat: IT PLAYS ALBUMS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, NOT IN THE TRACK ORDER ON THE ALBUM. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!

Because of the monumental stupidity of #3, along with the overall terrible interface, I give this player one star. I really regret buying it.

EDIT: Correction -- you can also listen to every single track on the unit in alphabetical order, everything from a given year in alphabetical order, or everything in a specific genre in alphabetical order. Have I mentioned that this player loves to do stuff in alphabetical order?Get more detail about ibiza Rhapsody HV18A-4G MP4 Player with Long Playback.
