died on me

by on February 20, 2005

Pros: small, great for sports, and no cable hassle

Cons: not recharable, battery dies so easily, not enough memory.. believe me its a hassle, key placement sucks, and believe me, worst part of it is.. that itll be completely dead by the end of 3 months. i would send it in to creative, but i know its not worth t

Works great!

by bigslamajama on June 28, 2006

Pros: Light, easy to use, great belt clip for running

Cons: battery cover can break easily (but the belt clip works great as a replacement!)

Summary: I've had this for over 3 years now and it's still working great for me. I must have received a different batch than everyone else (a lot of negative posts with dead units). The only problem ive had is that the battery cover broke on one of the housing units but they include two with the player so now im using the backup! Also the included belt clip holds everything together quite well and offers some level of environmental protection. I take it snowboarding with me all the time and it has never had a problem even when snow gets in the pocket.

The player is super-lightweight and the usb functionality is tremendous, no cords to worry about. I will use this until its last breath and then probably upgrade to the TX FM to get usb 2.0 and a bigger capacity, not to mention the extra features.

I think this is a fantastic little mp3 player and would highly recommend it to anyone that is active and would like an affordable, solid, lightweight player with good battery life.

Summary: It is a good 2 month mp3 player. I'd buy another if I knew it would last. I threw away my receipt after a month and two weeks later it went out. Internals must be fragile... Definitely hang onto your receipt on this one!!

Stopped working after 4 months

by on February 17, 2005

Pros: Small, lightweight, decent sound, good features.

Cons: Too delicate. After about 4 months, it went completely dead. And the company offers no tech support or recourse of any kind after the 3-month warranty expires.

satisfactory entry-level mp3 player

by on October 30, 2004

Pros: incredibly small. switchable color cases. hi-quality sound and good volume. good battery life (at least 15-16hrs). doubles as a usb drive, and even pulls off of battery case and attaches itself to the usb port, not through a long and easily tangled connec

Cons: the memory capacity is pretty small, and theres no radio or line-in recording. also, the voice recording feature does not seem to work...but i never use it anyway

One of the best Mp3 players around

by on September 21, 2004

Pros: its light and compact but large enough that its not to intricate. it has a good battery life at just under 20 hours from 1 AAA battery.

Cons: the 128mb does have a lack of space but it can be upgraded to 256mb with not much cost.
5 stars

Not loud enough!!!!!

by on June 6, 2004

Pros: Small, came with arm band, easy to use on any computer with USB, doubles as a mini vault for transportation of files.

Cons: Not loud enough.

Nice, but a some shortcomings

by on April 10, 2004

Pros: Doubles as a USB storage device that can be popped into any computer and read. Small.

Cons: Though sound quality is overall okay, there is a drawback. On some songs, if the music gets a little loud or intense I can detect a bit of distortion; it's not as clean sounding as it should be - some static can be heard. I've listened to the same tracks
