Comment:
I wear this on my hour walk to work and in the gym. It is an incredible value with a micro SD card installed to add capacity; the equal of players twice or three times the price. I replaced the OS with Rockbox. I sync multiple playlists on Windows Music Player so I rarely have to go into the settings to change anything other than the name of the playlist I want. It recharges via USB to the computer, or on a charge adapter. The battery remaining indicator is not very accurate however. It has frozen up twice in the year I have owned it -- both times a hard reset (holding down the power button) solved the problem.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
we were looking for something cheaper than the ipods we bought for our kids and, at this price we couldn't pass it up. we use it mainly for long drives where radio stations are either weak or not to our liking. we seem to be getting more than the 11 hour play time that i've seen reported here. as far as the freezing that occurs from time to time, i have found that if you hold the power button in for about 30 seconds, it resets itself. i like the fact that i can add another micro sd card to increase storage. cons? well, i wish there was something besides the spring clip for attaching it to something. we usually clip it to the night time clip on the rear view mirror. is it the best? no, not at all. but, for [$] it's not bad at all.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
