The product works sometimes and at other times it just doesn't
To tell you the truth I was a bit skeptical about buying a portable MP3 player with such a large amount of memory for such a small amount of money. The first day of having the MP3 player was pleasurable when I could lounge around and not have to worry about anyone having to listen to my music. After the first day the jukebox screen wouldn't work correctly. Part of the display would show up and the other part wouldn't. All in all I could listen to the music but I had no way of choosing my play lists and music files because I just couldn't see them on the screen. When I plug the player back into the wall it worked fine. So I figured that I would give tech support a call to see what they thought may be the problem. The technician was not helpful what-so-ever. He told me that the batteries needed to be charged and perhaps if they were already charged then the batteries may be defective. Once again I plugged the unit into the wall and it worked fine once it was plugged in but then after I took it out the unit just wouldn't show everything on the screen. I decided to return the MP3 player and get a new one in hopes that the new one would work properly. I had no such luck. Within the first day the product was doing the exact same thing as the first unit. I eventually decided that I was getting too upset over it and I would be much happier if I didn't have to look at it anymore so I returned it and got my money back.
If you are looking for an MP3 player which has a lot of memory then my suggestion is to not waste your money on this item. If you are looking for a portable hard drive so that you can transfer some large files from your home to your office then I still wouldn't buy this item. I would invest in a zip drive or something worth while. I was very unsatisfied with this product and I don't want anyone else to have the same problems that I have had.
