RCA RD1000 Kazoo (32 MB) MP3 Player

Cons: No backlight, track info, looks cheap

On the plus side it is the smallest I have seen after the Sony - but it uses...

Pros: Compact size, price, ease of use
Cons: Cheesy clear plastic case

I read the reviews here before I made my purchase. First of all, I can't believe people are paying $100 for it, you can buy it at Best Buy for $79.95. The unit feels solid - well as solid as anything the size of a matchbox can feel. The software was...

Pros: Light Weight,Sound Quality,Price, Expandable memory can, Easy to use functions, LCD Screen, USB connectivity
Cons: May need an updated XP USB driver for the Music Match software,Doesn't support tag information

Cons: None yet.. Could have more memory (Cheep expansion capabilities)

Finally I walked into Walmart at 2am on a Saturday morning in need of a technological change from my tape player to an MP3 player and the 77$ price shocked me. Although the price was great when I got home and downloaded the songs on the...

Pros: So portable and easy to use
Cons: starts out with only 32MB for storage

I just received the Kazoo MP3 player last night and I love it!! My parents went to Sears and got a steal on it. Someone brought it back because they didn't like it, I'm guessing and my parents got it for $40!!
The kazoo comes with a...

Pros: Very small,lightweight, great sound, attractive, large display.
Cons: Doesn't display MP3 tags.

The 32MB Kazoo is fabulous. There had been some negative feedback written about the Kazoo and it's inability to work with Windows XP. Well, that's not the case anymore. I purchased the Kazoo yesterday and last night downloaded the appropriate drivers...

Pros: Great Size, Very Durable, Excellent Audio Quality, Is XP Compatible
Cons: Battery Life Somewhat Short

What Made Me Buy This Player...
Working out at the gym can be a somewhat tedious task if you're forced to listen to the music that the gym is playing. I already own MP3 Players, but none of them I would feel comfortable bringing to the gym....

Cons: No back-lit screen, no ID3 information

Cons: Software rather confusing to use, looks very ordinary, expensive memory stick

Well, I finally did it!!! I was tired of the hassles of CD players and had been begging dh for an mp3 player. He finally gave in and let me get on for my B-Day!!! I like this one!! One of the main things I like about it is its size and weight. It fits...

Pros: Small and the music can be easily changed with included software.
Cons: Needs a memory card to hold enough music to really satisfy someone.

The RCA Kazoo is an overall pretty cool MP3 player. When I first got it I was amazed at its small size and all you got with it. The player is so small you can easily hide it in your mouth, but I don't think that would be a good idea. It comes with...

Pros: Moderately priced. Build memory with MMC cards,distributing cost of listening repertoire over time.Excellent sound.
Cons: The battery life a little short,do not let that surprise you.Technical assistance can be difficult.

This MP3 device has an excellent sound quality and is very portable.It is widely touted as used for workout music,since it is durable--that is correct.The internal memory at 32MB seems small,yet two MMC cards solve that questionable dimension ...

Pros: size, accessories, easy to operate, exp slot.
Cons: 32MB is not a lot, no song info

Attention runners. If you are looking for the perfect way to bring your music with you on the run, then this is your ticket. This model left out all the bells and whistles and just put the absolute bare necessities. It also features a simple EQ to...

Cons: Expensive, hard to find memory cards

I bought this to wear while roller blading. I never got that far. I got frustrated with and am taking it back to the store.

Pros: Compact, lightweight, comparatively inexpensive, simple features, USB connectivity, memory upgradeable, wrist/arm mounting for exercise use.
Cons: No firmware upgradeability for recent 128MB MMC card, computer OS compatibility issues, shoddy customer support.

The RD1000 (32MB) k@zoo! is, if nothing else, a good concept (solid-state memory is a good application here). It is delivered in a compact package and is designed for space-savers and on-the-go listeners who do not care to carry more weighty cassette /...

Pros: Tiny, easy to use
Cons: low battery life!! also, the accompanying software is not very user-friendly.

My RCA Kazoo mp3 player was not exactly what I had in mind when I decided to invest in an mp3 player. Whenever other people see me using it, they comment on how "cute" and "little" it is. For the price, it's really not a bad deal. However, I would...

Pros: Small, cheap, good sound quality,
Cons: Memory, Battery Life

I bought my Kazoo Mp3 player right before a trip so I wouldn’t have to bring all my CD’s along. I normally wouldn’t have bought one, but it was on sale at Wal-Mart(America’s Favorite Store) for $79.00.

I like my Kazoo for several reasons. One...

Pros: Extremely compact, decent price
Cons: no song description, short battery life, a hassle for XP users, little memory

Owning the bulky Creative Nomad Jukebox 20 GB with plentiful memory, I sought out to look for a compact player that I could use while jogging or shoving into my pocket when I went out. At a decent price of $99 I found the tiny RCA K@zoo player coming...

Pros: Cheaper pricing at Radio Shack. Good Sound quality. Cute and small.
Cons: Little memory, pain in the a)ss to download software and music. Over pricing at Walmart!!

Ok first of all, you can get this KAZOO mp3 player at Radio Shack for $70.00-80.00 dollars. Way cheaper than buying it online or at Target, or Walmart (who charge 100 dollars plus tax for the thing) It pays to comparssion shop, and not buy at the first...

Pros: This MP3 is upgradable.
Cons: It uses lots of batteries.

RCA MP3 PLAYER REVIEW

An MP3 player holds downloaded music in a format called mp3. This MP3 player comes with 32mb of built in memory. Each megabyte being approximately a minute of downloaded music. Therefore, this player holds about 32...

Pros: not worth it let me show u a deal
Cons: no backlight lcd

frist of all this i only 32 megabytes u can fit only approximate 12 songs. not good. i know you would want more. everything works fine on here. but i wish there was backlight lcd. the way they have it taken a picture on here looks like it has blue lcd...

Pros: Compact size, software and accessories included, about $100 street price.
Cons: Chews up batteries, limited storage space.

I've read a number of great reviews on this MP3 player, awarding this player with a generous 5-star rating.

I bought this MP3 player last December as a Christmas gift to myself. The main reason why I bought it was because it was...

Pros: small and lightweight, fast USB transfer.
Cons: Terrible Battery life, no ID3 tag support, cheep looking accesories.

I bought this player to hastily mainly because I was wowed by its size. However after using it for a while and comparing it to my friends larger devices, I realized I had made a mistake. Firstly for such a small device this thing really eats through the...

Pros: overall good sound quality, compact
Cons: musicmatch software terrible, product support and warranty depts. completely worthless

Was impressed with the sound quality and size of the player, but has been a complete waste of money. The version of Music Match software that is compatible with the device is bug-ridden and full of pop-up solicitations to purchase their full version....

Pros: Elegant design, extremely small and lightweight, SmartMedia expandibility, flash upgradeable firmware
Cons: NO WINDOWS XP DRIVERS AVAILABLE OR PLANNED

I wish I could tell you that all of the manufacturer's claims about ease of use, sound quality, and battery life were true. Unfortunately, I cannot. I am posting this review primarily to put potential buyers on notice - if you use Windows XP or plan on...

I just bought mine from Circuit City online for $59.99 with a $20 MIR. $39.99 is great price for this small jewel. I use Windows XP and it was a little difficult to get the driver downloaded and figure out how to download music, but once I got the hang of it, it's very, very easy. The sound is very good and I would definately recommend this to anyone. At this price, what can you lose???

I love my Kazoo, I bought better headphones for a better fit and the sound is great! More memory was only 30 dollars, but I wish it held more songs. Bought it on amazon.com and I still love it!

very good mp3 player not very expensive and easy to carry but be careful that u remember where u put it someone stole mine

for its price this is the best mp3 ive ran across. just get yourself some rechargeable batteries, and a memory upgrade off ebay and u have the perfect mp3 player. overall i spent $40 for the player, $10 for 12 rechargeable batteries and the charger, and $20 for a 64mb card. for a lil over $70 i have 90 minutes of music and changing the songs is a lil hard at first, but u get the hang of it quickly.

I just got this as a gift and it is great. Easy to use and download. Instructions are a little more complex than they need to be but read between them and it becomes easy. Lots of features and the sound is very clear. You can also change out the earphones to smaller ones if you want.

I really love my K@zoo. I listen to it every day when I go running and I feel like I'm listening to a CD from this little box that sits on my wrist. The interface is great and you can store lots of songs in it.

I got this player June 2002 and I'm very pleased with my purchase. For such a cheap buy it is wonderful. My main problem with this was finding a place that sold a memory card, many places said that they sold them, I'd get there and it would be the wrong size. It is very easy to work, though the instructions are a bit more complicated than they should be. I'd suggest finding a website that can explain operating it instead of the instructions it comes with. It is small enough to fit in my coat's cell phone pocket so I have no problem finding it. The battery life isn't long enough for me but that is easily curable with rechargable batteries. I would reccomend this product if you dont want to spend too much, if you have the money you should go ahead and get one with a bit more memory but this is still a great product. I did not rate the sound because its not the player that determines the quality it is the quality of the mp3 you download.

Pros: It is great and performs well.
Cons: Can not last too long on battery

This is a great mp3 player it comes with great sounding rca headphones and comes standard with 32mb of storage!!!!

i gotta say the K@ZOO is a pretty sweet buy considering its price. i bought mine about a month ago and so far i have no compliants. transfering my mp3's into the K@zoo is a breeze and the programs that it comes with is very user friendly. the only thing that would make it even worth your money would be a bigger memory...

I bought my Kazoo in December and I really love it! It is a great buy for someone who is on a budget, plus it works great! Don't waste your money on an expensive MP3 Player when you can pay about $50 for the Kazoo; believe me you'll love it except for the fact that you have limited storage for songs and because of the bad battery life.

Pros: Great sound quality - light to carry, easy to use.
Cons: Musicmatch software, Shoddy workmanship -

In the beginning, the Kazoo MP3 player was perfect for my needs, that is before the housing in between the area that holds the batteries broke. I bought a 64mg card and it met my needs - this is before it broke. The greatest letdown besides the shoddy workmanship was the Musicmatch software that came with the MP3 player. It was obsolete upon installing, and I was inundated with offers to upgrade...not for downloading music from the website, but to be able to burn cds that I already had software installed which was disabled after I installed Musicmatch.

I was attracted to this unit for the size and and price. 32 MB is just not enough room (I only got 8 songs out of it) and the memory cards are not cheap. You also have to crank the volume all the way up to get a decent sound. I returned it the next day and bought an RCA Lyra RD1070 which has better sound quality, 128 MB of internal memory and is expandable. Only an additional $20.00 for a much better product.

I got it and it has bad sound then after a whlile it did not work so i sent it back on the 11/1/02 and i am still waiting for it. I did not get a differnt one but i had a nice cd/mp3 palyer and it was way nicer and not as much monney. I would not recommend the product to anyone.

Pros: NONE
Cons: See Review

Don't waste your time. Rca doesn't provide Windows XP Drivers, they are too busy closing American factories and shipping the jobs overseas. Wouldn't want to actually support the products the produce. I will never again buy anything from RCA (Thompson)!!!!!!!

I bought this thinking it was a good buy for a new thing. I went home and started to work on it. I didn't understand some of the instructions. After a while i did it. The Mp3 wouldn't even turn on. When it finaly did work i downloaded 8 songs. That is all that it let me do. I couldn't believe i spent most of my money for something i could only use for 30 min. I am bringing mine back. i do not advise anyone to get this. Spend a few more dollors for better quality.
