"Fails to perform the basics"
Pros: Basic but value for money
Cons: Unresponsive,
Summary: Having owned an Ipod I wanted to get out of the Itunes/Ipod issue. Just wanted to get a basic MP3 player to play music when I was working out and travelling. Nothing fancy and 4GB was the perfect size.
Not immpressed with it, color screen is a waste, not big enought to view pictures and the list of music. But my major issue is it just does not respond to the controls, it consistanly ignores me as I push the FF or REW buttons and sometimes I can not even turn it off.
I am currently reloading my music on it just to see if files are causing the issue but these mp3's were fine on my Ipod.
If you are looking for an alternative to the Ipod do not look here.Updated
Now that I have had this product for a few months I have come to the conclusion it is worthless. While it does its job its just so painful.
3 examples
I can use WMedia playlists to to put songs onto the MP3 player but then have to recreate as them music goes across but the actual playlist does not??????????????????
To view your music you do it through a folder structure that forces you to use albums. So everytime I want to play a group of songs from the same band I have to enter 3 or four folder structures.
IT IS COMPLETELY UNINTUITIVE. I have spent so much time looking at the insturctions that I have created a shortcut on my desktop to them. Badly thought out. I can in no way recommend this product.
