Mach Speed Eclipse 180 (digital player)

The manual the came with this player says that it interacts with Windows Media Player. It wouldn't. The manual also said it would work as storage device. It won't. Package said it was a video player/radio/mp3 player/recording device. The only software it appears to contain is for audio mp3 use, but since I can't download any data to the device, it only plays nothing. Went to the website to see if I was doing something wrong, but anything listed under how to or help has been removed or was never put up in the first place. If I hadn't bought it at a chain store, I would think I had just been sold a fake item with a light up screen. As said above, you get what you pay for. I bought this to give to my 5 year old for in the car, so I wasn't looking all the advertised bells and whistles. I did expect it to work, though. Glad I tried it out before giving it to him.

How much you will like or hate this MP3 player will depend on how important an MP3 player is to you. For me I only use it for long commutes to work or if I ever need music on the fly.

If you are a hardcore MP3 person you will probably not like this one. It can only play one type of video format(AMV), doesn't support MP4 or flash either. It's nothing compared to an iPod.

If all you want is to be able to listen to music on the fly and want something affordable, this will probably be okay for you.
