"Indestructible..."
Pros: Now cheap, battery life, sound quality, capacity, easy of use
Cons: Large, kinda ugly
Summary: Ive owned this thing since it came out. Wasnt cheap then, but was a better deal than an Ipod. Over the years I have updated firmware and software, which has only gotten better and easier. The sound is amazing. I only run 192 kbps mp3s, but even through my home stereo system I can detect much noise, or loss of quality.
On top of this, two stores come to mind. First, when climbing into my car one day, I dropped the player out of my sweatshirt pocket. Well it fell onto the parking lot hard from about 4ft up, and only suffered a few gouges in the plastic and a battery flying out. Started right up and sounded great.
Also, one day I left the sunroof open in my car and it happened to rain pretty well. The player got quite wet, so Iet it dry for 8 hours or so. Now, I forgot to take the battery out and test it for wetness. Well I started it up and it sizzled and stuff. So I turned it off. I let the battery dry out some more, and tried later. It would run for a bit then shutdown because it was overheating. Good self control. Luckily, drying a little more and it works just as new.
All of this on the original battery. This thing is awesome!!!
