General Comments

I've had this Kiiro ca-128s portable MP3 player for about 3 weeks now, I bought it (99 quid from a retailer on Ebay) to use in the gym as a normal walkman or cd player would look ridiculous, so i wanted something unobtrusive. I bought this after looking at all the alternatives on offer and it seemed to be everything i was looking for, it was the right size (basically tiny), 128 meg capacity (which means about 2 hours worth or 2 average 126kbps albums) and has great sound quality. First thing I done was to bin the headphones as I must have weird ears. I CANNOT get away with those style of phones as they just keep falling out, so I bought some Sony Clipons which don't fit right in and consequently lack a bit of bass, but that's the phones not the player. Unfortunately I had to return the player because it kept locking up on me. Speaking to the retailer he has only had one other like that, so I'm thinking it's maybe a spurious thing. The USB is only the USB1 standard and it's SLOOOOOOOWWWWWWW to upload to, but hey i'm not bothered - for the money it's great. People cannot believe it when I show them it and that in itself's cool without the rest.

    I've just bought a Kiiro from e-bay(bargain at £23!) for running. However, after I have downloaded music onto it, I can't seem to get it to play. I'm hoping that I'm just doing something wrong, rather than there actually being a fault with the player. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice? The instruction manual is v. basic and offers no help for this problem.
