Although what looks like a nifty compact design this mp3 player has some SERIOUS PROBLEMS:
1) HEADPHONES. VERY POOR SOUND QUALITY. At first I thought the unit itself delivered poor sound quality. Turned out to be the headphones. A child MIGHT not notice, but you will. Non-standard jack size, 3/32" or 2.5mm, compared to the standard 1/8" or 3.5mm. This size plug is used for cell phone and hearing aid headphones (if you are half deaf this one is for you). I cannot find high quality replacements (I have searched DESPARATELY on the web - NOTHING).With good headphones and the adapter the unit sounded good, but already poor battery life suffers when using quality standard mini headphones.
2) NO CLIP. This unit is small and lightweight, but unless you put it in a pocket that closes or snaps or is deep the unit will fall out. Or you can hold it. That gets old REAL fast.
3) PC Interface. At 1st looks great. Drag and drop from your mp3 folder to a standard portable drive folder. But my PC locked up each time. And if you disconnect the unit for a moment, the drive interface disappears and I had to reboot my computer just to continue adding songs. Also the USB cable on the unit end is NOT USB and is proprietary. Lose this cord and you are out of luck.
4) BATTERY LIFE. One AAA battery. This unit needs to "get a life". Stock up or get rechargeables. If you plan to listen for more than an hour or two you will have to carry replacements.
5) NO EXPANDABLE MEMORY. What do you want for the price? At the regular price this would be unacceptable.
SUMMARY:
Wait 'till this one goes on clearance and buy it as a stocking stuffer for the kids at Christmas. I think it is marginally worth that, but wouldn't touch it for one penny more. Or let Santa take it to the land of misfit toys where it belongs.

You can take a look at the build quality since the case is transparent. Neat board layout with a large Samsung chip. Lots of surface mount components.
Installation in Win98 SE was a snap. Hooked it up and installed the drivers and it was ready to go. I recommend that you back up the floppy driver disc to CD for safekeeping. DR should have put the drivers on CD in the first place!
Some may find the 32MB restriction limiting. In most instances, you can fit 6-8 songs on it at the standard 128Kb/sec. rate. If you want to put more on it, you can drop to 96K or 64K or even lower for spoken word (with a noticeable reduction in quality).
The EQ is not that flexible. And if you use it with 64K files, you get distortion! Works fine with 128K or 96K files, though.
Battery life is an issue. Reportedly 2 hours w/alkalines. I use rechargables (NiMH) and carry a few spares. You should do the same.... It makes all the difference!!
Anyway, a good starter player. Very compact and well designed.
I like it!
