On a 'Calm' day I got 30 minutes of free time, hope that explains my absense.

----------Writers Notice---------
The facts stated are the facts as I believe them to be, but I do not claim they are the undenyable truth. Opinions expressed are mine, and I do not claim anybody else shares these opinions with me.

------ Intro -----

The product is by Samsung, which already kind of stands for awesome, maybe it is just me, but every product I have had from Samsung was great and longlasting, with usually the options you want on that product.
This is a 2GB ( 1964MB? ) MP3 player, even though it supports alot of other audiofiles. It will not play videos or display pictures, its pure music.

---- Functions -----
The obvious ones first:
Hold - Unless you slide it from hold again no button will respond.
Next - Play next track ( does not work in 'hold' )
Prev - Play previous track ( also won't work while on 'hold' )
Plus - Add 1 to the volume ( to a maximum of '30' )
Minus - Subtract 1 of the volume ( to a minimum of '0' )

The cool ones next:
M - Menu, okay, enter, it pretty much just works as the button you need, it rocks, its nice and solid, and nicely positioned in the center of 4 buttons.

User/ *red dot* - Means Record, this is where you can record audio files yourself, and the mic picks up quite alot of sound, and the quality is reasonable. One problem, it has to be still when recording, if you wave it around in the air it will also pick up that sound.

To switch the player on/off, just keep the 'play' button pressed for a few seconds. Note, if you press it shortly, putting the track on pause, it will also turn itself off.

-----Details-----
This MP3 is powered by Lithium-Ion, which means it lasts ages. Charged through the USB gate it can last for 4 hours after charging it for 80 minutes. This is however how mine works, your experiences may well differ.

I have had my MP3 fall quite alot, and in my school it is almost never out of use, and after 15 months it is still going strong, not even struggling. It was made in Slovakia, well, from now on I want every product from Slovakian soil.

Without earplugs it will not make a sound, there are no speakers in this MP3. The added earplugs are made with bass-support, awesome for listening rock music and other music alike, but it offers a great sound for all genres, even spoken stories.

There are 2 lights, bright blue ones, with a equal spacing to the usb connector. They respond when you choose to change track or volume, pretty much with every buttonpress. However, when I was in France, and there was no light at all, it was actually bright enough to be used as a flashlight. One that goes out every 15 seconds, so keep changing the volume to keep it shining.

There is space for about 420 good quality songs, and for the real music listeners, that use FLAC, there is room for 45 tracks then, but that will not really help unless you also buy a awesome headset.

I charged it for 9 hours, and after listening 17 hours in the car, either me or my neice, it was not even 1/3rd empty. If I draw my conclusion correctly, which I do not guarantee, you should be able to outlast your charge time by 4.
