Bad sound quality for voice recorder

Summary: Time Span of Use: about 1 year.

I really liked this mp3 player. It had many features, and fine sound quality. Not only that, but I managed to buy it for $29.99. For about 10 months it was fine, until one day the head phones broke. Ok, now a big deal, but that was only the beggining. About one - two months later, the screen broke in my pocket. There was a visible crack inside the screen, and you could see a chemical trapped inside the screen. Regardless of this, I countinued to use it. After another month, the up on the volume rocker broke. Now my volume could not be raised. Unfortunately, when lowering the volume without knowing it could not be raised again, I set the volume to 0, and could not raise it. I really want to like this mp3 player, but it is fragile, even if it doesn't seem so.
