"This mp3 is ok"
Pros: long battery life, waterproof, calorie counter, pulse rate meter
Cons: toggle switch navigation skips songs, not compatible with iTunes.
Summary: I purchased this for my 14 yr. old son for Christmas. The price was good, (about 65.00 at Target), and the amount of storage was better than those priced similarly. Its a fairly decent player, except for when trying to navigate through files, the single toggle button is clumsy. The bulky clip that covers the battery compartment is difficult to remove/install, and thus is now broken off, and the earphones that came with it are awkward, (they've been replaced), to say the least. One size definitely doesn't fit all. Upon installing the software thats included, the Lyra Jukebox doesn't appear to be compatible with iTunes. (At least I haven't been able to move songs from iTunes to it, so he's been using realplayer to upload his files). On the plus side, the sound quality is great, it only requires 1 AA battery that lasts for well over 50 hours, and the pulse meter/calorie counter/pedometer is a nice feature too. All in all, I agree with the first comment in saying that you get what you pay for. Its not a bad player if you have a lot of patience.
