Summary: I have owned this product for 3 months and have used it every day. The sound quality is awesome. I wanted to get an ipod but was turned off because you need to buy expensive attachments to record live music and listen to the radio. The nano plus runs on one AAA battery so you don't have to worry about buying expensive lithium ion batteries. Most of the lithium batteries have to be special ordered and cost as much as the players themselves. The microphone on this is awesome. I went to a concert and recorded the whole show on this player. It sounded fantastic. Also the nano plus can take a beating. I have dropped it on cement, sat on it by accident, kept it in my pocket next to my car key, house keys, and loose change. Since this player is flash memory not hard drive memory there is no moving mechanical parts. You can also store upto 500 songs. The transfer rate is fast from cd player / computer to mp3 player so if you wanna change your song list around or add / delete tracks its really easy. I hardly ever give good reviews because I am plegued buying terrible items so buying this mp3 player was one of the best purchases I have ever made.
