I spent hours trying to decide which mp3 player to buy, and considered many of the unbranded clones which are currently available, but for the price and storage capacity I didn't think this little player could be beaten. I have been very pleased with my choice and was glad I went for a well known make having seen the problems others have had with the cheaper ones. The player holds around 10 albums (depending on file size) and the sound quality is very good. Unfortunately the earphones supplied were much too large for my ears and would not stay put, so I am using a cheaper pair for now, but the sound is still very good.
The player looks nice, although the shiny surface may be easy to scratch - as it is so small, finding a case for it is very difficult. The display is back-lit in blue and quite clear, and the little rocker switch allows easy fast-forwarding or rewinding between tracks. Moving between folders, changing to the radio, setting the equaliser, etc are all done by pressing the rocker switch and then moving it backwards and forwards. The only problem is that you have to be quite quick to move it, or the display reverts back to the track being played. The on/off switch has to be held down for a while so it would not be easy to turn on or off accidentally. Battery life is good with the duracell supplied, but seems a bit less with rechargeables, as might be expected.
Overall, the player has good sound, holds plenty of tracks, is small enough to fit in your pocket or handbag and is easy to use. Well worth the price, which seems to be falling all the time.
Adding a bit more info would help. I have a BIG handbag so no problem with size, but measure it! Add where you bought it or where else it is available and what price. Jo x
