This MP3 layer is an insult to all other mp3 players out there which actually work. The thing constantly freezes up on you (upon which you have to restart it by pressing the volume up and power key together).

When it freezes the thing will keep playing through the playlist, wasting your power but refuses to take any kind of instruction from you, the owner.

The picture slideshow function sounds nifty, if only I could get it to work. This thing has a wonderful knack to stay away from logic and ease of use, everything you do with it must be an adventure in of itself!

For 6 gigs you get a good number of songs, and the windows media player sync ability works out quite well in that regard, but nothing else really works up to snuff.

The picture looks alluring but I assure you those buttons and lights are very tacky and cheap looking once you get it. The touchscreen and pads get dirty very quickly.

You can adjust the volume after you locked the keys, a feature that for some reason wasn't available in some other mp3 players I owned.
