This small multifuntion device delivers everything what is promised. 1. MP3and WMA playback 2. USB connection (USB 1.1, it is relatively slow), 128 MB storing device 3. woice recorder (surprisingly good despite the simplicity)
The sound quality is limited by the earphone, that misses the bass. A better quality earphone can help. There is a single rotating pressing button on the device, that is not easy to use. The legth of the pressing is important. So one should experience with it before using. A somewhat longer pressing would switch off the device. So as you switch it on (you must press lon time about 2 seconds) if you press it again a litlle bit longer you will switch off the device. So you can be in an infinite loop of on and off. But if you do not press it long enough nothing will happen. You have to figure out the correct lenght of the pressing, to start playing the music. The transfer of the files from a computer via USB is easy with Win XP, it automatically recognizes the device. You can take out the batteries, the upload goes without batteries, as USB provides sufficient power for that. The 128 MB memory is small, but it takes several minutes to fill it with files. Music files can be in subdirectories, and they can be played without problem. The device is somewhat bulky (2 AAA batteries), so it will not fit into a notebook. An attachment cable is provided to solve that problem. The LCD screen shows the status of the player, but most of the signs are hardly visible. Instructions are simple, they miss the finer details. The device was working without problem during the last two months. The real durability test requires more time.
