Okay this is my first review so I hope you find it helpful.

This player allows you to upload any mp3 music and you can store them in playlists. I use MusicMatch to format my lists. It holds a lot of music and can even be used as a portable hard drive since any data can be uploaded to it and taken to another PC with a USB connection. The player will only play MP3 files however.

I have had it for about 3 months now and am only using 1/10 of the available storage. With that I have every song I want. It is also nice that I can add my favorite new songs in the future.

Okay here are the things I dislike beginning with the major one and why I would not purchase this again.

1) I use it for working out at the gym and for running around on the job. It is a pretty active environment which has resulted in receiving some hard disk error messages on the display. When this has happened (about 20 times) the player just stops and eventually will resume playing on its own. The display normally will not show the track information even when it has resumed playing. It will simply say HD ERROR until I turn the power off and then back on.

2) It is bulky and can occasionally bump against objects as I am moving around.

I guess that is about it. I highly recommend this unless you are going to be using it where it might get jarred. This is most likely the same as all of the similar players that are basically portable hard drives.

I hope you enjoyed my FIRST review and thanks for reading.

Mark
