General Comments
As were many others I was drawn to this by some relatively good reviews, and its apparently good value for money. But I have had no end of trouble with it since. The cumbersome 2*AA batteries make it very heavy and bulky, the strange whining noise it emits, (which Frontier Labs claims is unintrusive) is quite the reverse and is very noticeable. The lack of any sort of functions such as searching by artist, genre, album, etc makes the product very basic and hard to use. The flimsy outer case is tacky and breaks given half a chance.

I must admit, this was my first MP3 player, so at first I was oblivious to these blatant faults, but over time I have realised that this is not a good quality player, and is not even particularly good value for money. I would not recommend this player to anybody, and even if you are looking for a cheap MP3 player, this is not the one to go for and you undoubtedly would regret your purchase.
