"Buyer Beware"
Pros: Large Memory
Cons: Heavy; Poor Quality; Durability
Summary: This was my first MP3 player so naturally I was excited to give it a go. That excitement quickly faded...
My Gateway had a host of problems. First of all, I was annoyed at the fact that the player doesn't store songs in order. It's mighty annoying not being able to listen to an album in sequential order. Isn't that what "shuffle" is for??
Secondly, the player comes with a case that you HAVE to remove in order to do simple things such as charge the player, turn it on/off and to transfer music.
Third, the display screen started to fade on me.
Fourth, it's a pretty hefty player compared to say an iPod.
Fifth, the headphone jack had a short. I had to always fiddle with my headphones to get proper sound. Very, very annoying...
And finally, it froze CONSTANTLY. As a metter of fact, it froze on me a week ago and has never come back to life. I never dropped it, got it wet, or abused it any other way.
So please, stay far from this Gateway product!
