I bought this really kid-friendly Mp3 player when looking for a birthday present for my little sister. I'm really pleased that she likes it and i have to admit that i really like it too! The innovative thing about this Mp3 player is that you can shake it to change the song, the the faster the shaking, the more the songs move along the playlist.
Design and Feel
It's a really cute tubular designed player that comes in two colours, blue and pink. It is bright, shiny and made of a durable plastic that enables small kids to safely handle the player. It is great fun and can be used as a microphone to sing along too, because as it comes without headphones, there are instead speakers on each side that provide great sound quality.
This is a great thing because using headphones can be dangerous at young ages and my sister is a toddler, so a big no-no! It does though have two jacks for headphones, though i don't use them.
Its about the size of a small salt shaker, so larger than most Mp3 players and it seems durable as my sisters been constantly using it for 2 months with no problems.
Features
It comes with stickers that enable your child/niece/nephew to decorate the Mp3 player and enhance their playtime. The 512 Mb SD card is a great advantage as you can use a new card when one is filled up with songs. The small speaker provides great quality sound for this Mp3 player. One downside is that it doesnt have rechargeable batteries, so you need one AAA battery that can be used up quite quickly.
It only accepts songs in Mp3 and wav formats which are not compatible with apple music or yahoo music. So you can't play WMA files on this player.
There are 'rings' that allow you to control volume and track selection which is perfect for kids, they simply twist the top or bottom of the device to make it work. Shaking the Mp3 player to change songs really appeals to young kids and comes with its own goofy little sound that my sister loves.
The instructions on how to change batteries were a little confusing, but on the whole this is a great little Mp3 player that will get your children introduced to technology without the fear of destroying an expensive product.
Advantages: great price, great quality sound, shake and move baby! Disadvantages: No WMA format files enabled.
Since I reviewed the Pink version of this yesterday, i'll review the blue version now. All i have to say is the same, they are both the same apart from the colour difference of course!

I purchased this player from Asda, priced 24.99pounds. I believe it can be bought cheaper but the average price is 20-25pounds.
Its very good value for money, considering its a 1gb player. I found I could easily fit 15 albums on it.

I had wanted a new MP3 player for a while with a large memory and storage space. My partner managed to get me this MP3 player off the internet fairly cheap. It does have a lot of space and I have still not managed to fill it with my many tracks.

Not being a slave to fashion or one to follow the crowds I resisted the temptation to buy an iPod, iPod mini or the Nano when they were first released onto the market initially due to the expense and the fact that I rarely listen to music on the move. A... more
I am very happy with the player. It's nice and small and the display is as good as you will find on a player this size. It's really good having the micro sd expansion slot too, I have turned my player into what is effectively a 4GB MP3 Player, for very... more
