"There are better ones out there"
Pros: Good sound, large HD
Cons: No resume, hard to make playlists, short battery life
Summary: Looks good, good sound, big HD for lots of music. But when you get down to basics, there are drawbacks. On startup, always back to the default menu. No resume. If you want playlists, you have to figure out how, then go through System/playlists on your computer to rename them. Songs are not stored in any useful order, so if you want one, you have to search through the list, or by artist, or album. Takes a bit. My battery has never lasted 15 hours. I got about 8 once by turning it on and having the backlight off and not playing anything. Just let it sit. When you play things, much less time. I've tried to find out about a car charger and never get an answer from customer support. And I had another question that I never got an answer to. Mine also came with a bad connection for the headphones. If you move the plug while playing, you get some really bad noise. I haven't tried to clean it yet - that might do it.
It does sound good in the car using a cass. adapter, but at home through the stereo you can't get a lot of volume.
