Customer Reviews:

Do not buy.......2006-05-26

This is a terrible, terrible product. I have had problem after problem with it. It now sits idle on my desk. Just search for the product problems in Google and you could spend a week reading the forums on it. I will never buy another MPIO device.

Good, for a little while...........2006-04-11

I bought this a year and a half ago. Midway into using it the software program kept on freezing up and crashing. You would get a few songs on this thing, and then it would erase them while trying to add more. It isn't drag and drop, making it impossible to add songs without this faulty program.

Don't get an mp3 from a company that cannot provide good support. All their firmware, etc. for this product does not work.
I had to buy a new player. this one was terrible!

caveat emptor.......2006-03-21

I purchased the digitalway mp3 player and it "locked up" after a months use. Ireturned it and got another and it locked up . The store gave me a third and it did the same. The company does not respond when notified.

Do not purchase this product.......2006-03-09

Words cannot express how much trouble the MPIO gave me even when i purchased it twice in order to attempt to give it a fair chance.

FL100 is frustrating junk.......2006-02-05

AVOID THIS PRODUCT. A one star rating is too high.

I wish my son had read some of these reviews before he recommended this piece of junk to my wife for my birthday present. I hate to tell him he wasted a LOT of money and I am throwing this gift in the garbage.

I have battled with it for nearly 2 years. My W98 system started acting strange shortly after I tried to get the MPIO manager working properly. I bought a new computer some months ago but my new super dooper Compaq with XP isn't doing much better. The MPIO manager still doesn't work properly but least it doesn't seem to be adversly affecting the rest of the computer. I suppose this is a plug for XP, it resists other sofware trying to wreck it.

I have tried many iterations of the order of switching on the player, calling the MPIO manager, rebooting the computer, and conecting the USB. None works very often. Some work briefly sometimes, and then the MPIO manager hangs (W98 would hang too!!) and has to be killed with the XP task manager (or power off the computer!!). It can take hours of frustration to get a few MP3 files transferred.

FIles put on with the MPIO manager may play in the wrong order (consistently) which spoils classical symphonies and the like.

Files put onto the SD card using the computer's card reader won't play. (I got two SD cards for it as presents on my next birthday).

Files put on the card by the MPIO manager stop playing if rearranged using the computer's card reader.

I persisted because
1. It was a gift and I don't want to hurt the giver.
2. I am an old man and hence I think everything is my fault and will work if I can only get it right.

The record button has stopped working (a feature I specifically wanted).

The SD card door won't stay closed without a piece of sticky tape.

The manual is hard to understand.

There is nothing usefull on the web site

I am very sad and disappointed.

ps. The FM radio works well.
