General Comments

I bought this player a month ago.

I wanted to cut down the price by excluding features I wouldn't use (like voice recorder, direct encoding, etc) and this turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. The only things it has are a radio, your music and data.

Lots of disc space, plus wma support; so that stretches the memory.

It looks nice and simple and is not too big.

I haven't fully tested its battery life but it serves my purpose, recharging every couple of days.

The sound quality is excellent. But theres no "line out" feature. Bass and equilizer effects make it sound a lot better.

The software stinks but you can get good, free 3rd party software called "sveta portable audio".

The pouch that came with it isn't very good since you have to keep taking the player out to press buttons (its a pouch, not a cover).

It acts as a removeable drive for the PC so you can easily store data on it.

Scrolling is easy. The player arranges songs alphabetically according to artist, title, album or genre. You can make playlists on it with a PC.

It has a hard disk drive and not a compact flash drive so it won't take too much shock although I haven't jolted it enough yet to know how much it can take.
