BUSlink MPE-BD (256 MB) MP3 Player

Cons: Poor instructions; no shuffle mode; broke after 10 days; no customer support

Bought the BUSlink about a month ago because it was the only 256k player for under $125. The instruction booklet that came with it was for the 128k version, and it didn't do everything the booklet said it should. I emailed BUSlink asking if my unit was ...

Pros: Cheap ($)
Cons: Cheap (fragile)

I bought this MP3 player to use while working out.

All of the Controls are slow to respond, and made of cheap plastic that makes me afraid it will break. And it has.

About a month after I got it the volume-up button stopped working. I was able to open up the flimsy plastic case pretty easily and fix it. Inside I saw that the soldering had come undone on the volume-up switch.

Other than its fragility, it seems to work decently.

I have no trouble putting mp3s onto it from my computer, or listening to them.
