Fantastic!!! I bought this MP3 player about a month ago after weeks of consideration im now im sure i made the right choice. I hate having to read reviews that arent particularly helpful so im determined to make mine better.Pros-
Small
Sleek
Easy to use
Reasonably clear manual
Transfer music from computer to player in seconds
Clear sound (true it whistles slightly but only when backlight is on)
Customisation- Text scroll speed
Backlight lentgh
LOGO EDITOR- V. COOL!!!!
Useful Neck Strap
Voise recorder (surprisingly good sound quality when kept still)
256MB stores just under 70 songs, downloaded at 128 Mb quality
Repeat, A-B repeat and shuffle
EQ customisation (bass, treble)
High definition LCD screen
Battery lasts surprisingly long time for its size (1x AAA) Cons-
When low battery warning appears you cant record or use backlight.
Low battery warning shows up uneccessarily early (lasts about 3 hours after)
Could do with battery recharge facility.
Shuffle function seems to bring up a lot of the same songs repeatedly.
No hold button though buttons are fairly solid
Previous model has facility to change song tempo, this is also mentioned on box but does not actually exist.
Radio would be good but for the price and the memory supplied WHO CARES!!!
Hope this was useful for all those considering this MP3 player. It definitely gets my thumbs up! Best bargain on the market!

I was starting to wonder where it was because it was getting close to christmas but when it finally arived i was not disapointed.
This product is fantastic and so easy to use even a child could use it no need to read the detaled booklet that it comes with because its that easy just plut it into your usb port or use the cable it comes with and drag music or pictures or well any thing into the folder and your away the battery lasts ages though it can not be recharged but thats the only bad thing about this mp3 well worth it

Small. Good Value |
I have now been using this for a month and it more or less does exactly what I wanted, i.e give me a means of having music to play without lugging a full size player around. It is the size and weight of a cigarette lighter. It comes with a neck strap and if you wear it around your neck it is so light you are quickly unaware its there.For me the choice was i-pod with loads of capacity or something like this player which won on size but lost on capacity. I am happy with my choice. The 256mb player holds about 8 CDs worth of music and transfer is easy: if like me you have windows media player it is simply a case of plugging the MP3 player into the computer with the USB cable provided and then highlighting the tracks you want to transfer (in the my computer / my music explorer section) and then copying them to the player ~ takes about a minute a CD. It is also easy to add and remove extra tracks / CDs to keep the selection fresh. Batteries last about 8 hours I think, but I suggest you get the rechargeable ones and therefore not worry about this. (Also good because it takes such small batteries that you can carry a spare around without any trouble) Couple of minor moans: the manual supplied is very thin on detail and you have to work out some operations by trial and error, (e.g. for the equalizer it says "User can set the equalizer with User choice"..doesnt tell you how) and secondly the engraved symbols on the (small) buttons arent picked out in another colour so when you want to use the buttons I find myself having to pull the unit up to within a few inches of my face to work out what to do next. If you want a small player, decent enough sound and to carry 8 CDs worth of music I would give it a go; (spend the extra on getting the 256mb)
