Nice, simple, light, tiny player. Delicate headphone jack. Volume max is low. Mp3s have varying volume levels and it's nice to be able to crank the volume for a quiet mp3. Using different headphones than the ones that came with it mostly fixed this problem. It has random play and repeat abilities. To order the playback, you put a 001..002.. prefix on the files. It supports USB2 and allows directories to organize mp3s. You can play/repeat/random-play in a directory or for all directories. You can fast forward and move between songs. The display is reasonably big. The first one I got was defective. I plan to return mine because the headphone jack seems delicate (if I wiggle/rotate it slightly, I lose sound). Also, the jack doesn't push in all the way.

Update: I didn't push the headphone jack in all the way. I just needed to push it in a little harder. Actually the jack isn't as delicate as I thought. This really improves how much I like the player. It still has a bit low max volume for quiet mp3s (I could run a tool like mp3gain on the mp3s to normalize volume).
