very good for the price! (DEAD after 3 months)
This little thing does everything it's supposed to. It's easy to load with music via drag & drop. I found the easiest way to transfer music was to leave it in MTP mode format the drive and just drag and drop my music onto it. There are some files on it from the factory some podcast program also I don't need that stuff so a format worked the best for me. MTP mode lets you just pull it out and go without having to do the "safely remove hardware" method. (windows XP)
The battery life is what it is. I used it for about 13hrs before needing to change batteries. I will be looking into a rechargeable battery for it soon.
It's not as smooth and slick looking as the image shown here. It looks a little cheaper and bulkier in person. There is no mic either as shown in this image. It has a little hole for it but no mic.
The FM tuner worked just fine and has a lot of available presets (31).
Instructions are very detailed and easy to understand.
The included earphones are not comfortable they are the hard disc type.
I bought this with the Coby CVE92 Isolation Stereo Earphones Isolation Stereo Earphones which together make for a great inexpensive MP3 player.
EDIT: I'm sorry to say that this has died after only 3 months of light use. The display started giving a garbled completely random look and none of the buttons worked. I was able to connect it to the PC and get all my music from it but it was useless as an MP3/FM player. I returned it (after the 3 month limit) and lost $8 for a "restocking fee". I can't find anything similar in size and function so I ordered another one to try again. The price went down $8+ since the original order so I actually spent less this time than on the first order. We'll see how long the new one lasts....More detail ...
