I wanted a portable mp3 for the gym. Although I would like to have my whole music collection at my fingertips, every other machine I tried was too heavy, or had only a neck band etc.
This machine is PERFECT. It is small, lightweight, clips to your waistband and the music quality is perfect for that environment.
The radio doesn't have great reception, but goodness, the machine is so little and no antenna, how could it be so good???
It offers equalizer options for different types of music and the hard protective case still allows you access to all the buttons on the machine (so when you are on the treadmill you are not futzing with the case and controls and such)
the headphones are comfortable enough and work pretty well, there is the occasional crackle, but nothing significant.
It comes with easy to use adequate software, and I have had no problem editing songs etc. Without the memory card it can hold approx 25-30 MP3's depending on size etc. I have found that batteries last about 10-15 hours of intermittent use.
I have had the machine for about 2 months and I really am thrilled with it. For travel I would probably want something with a larger memory, but for everyday use this thing is the best!!!
