"Basic, Whith some really nice features, Only needs a 1 AA batterie" on August 11, 2006 by listensTOmusic

Pros: Good quality sound, Sports stuff( Pulse Rate, Stop Watch), Lots of Battery LIFE!

Cons: Moving around on it can be hard for people who have larger fingers,

Summary: I got this for a gift from my father, who only paid about $30 for it on Ubid.com. It holds a lot of songs, and has a really long battery life( 50 hours!). Very basic, but does have a sports mode where you have a stop watch, pluse rate. If your in a dimly lit area it may be hard to menuver to different areas of the mp3, since it's all black it blends in easily. The little toggle thing, is hard for people with larger hands, and since I have smaller hands, there's no problem. The buttons on it, are not sensitive but need to be pushed a little to be activated. You can even change the colors of the screen (blue, orange, and purple). When you buy it, it includes: earphones( don't fit every ear, so replace them with one you like), arm strap for sports( running, extc), usb cable, a clip ( hard to put on and take off-i had some help with it),and some software to download. I just used the Widows Media Player, because the juxebox thing, was not working right.Well, it's really good for just music, and for running or some other sports. Downloading with it is easy, I have know clue if it's okay with iTunes. I did have only one problem with it, when I selected a song, it would play another song, turns out something was wrong with the drive. I just had my dad fix it, since he's electonic savy.
