Excellent price for storage.......2005-09-14

But as everyone else has stated...you get what you pay for. When it is working it is a wonderful player for the price. But it rarely works right. I haven't had the same problems as everybody else stated (battery life, long indexing time, cutting off for no reason), mine will be playing a song and in the middle of it start up from the middle of another song. The title won't change on the display, just the song being played. It will do it a few times and turn the song into a 15 minute remix of all the songs I have on the player. I like remixes, but this is out of control!! I have tried downloading the firmware to see if that fixes it...but no luck. I reccommend forking out a little extra cash and getting a better player. Too much hassle with this one.

-Wow 10GB for around $100
$100 well wasted.
-9hrs battery life
Goodluck with getting 45-60mins of playing time,
not including the mysterious shutdowns during play.
-Uploading new musics
While transfer is rated @ 1.1 Usb. Be ready with a new batch of coffee, for the complete index has to be updated on the player itself with every new file input.
-Quality of craftsmanship
Let just say things start to fall apart in less than a week. Exterior fixtures start to come apart. Interior sounded to have loose parts.

A friend had the misfortune of buying this hunk of junk. She bragged to me about how much money she saved over buying an iPod. She finally gave it to Goodwill and spent the money for an iPod. She wasted 100 bucks.

So what was wrong?

First, she never could understand the cryptic menu system. Second the case was horribly made, it cracked in 3 places with fairly delicate handling.

Battery problems and other random button problems did not help.

If you are reading this review obviously you want advice, so here is mine....

Consider this review a coupon for 100 bucks off an iPod. You will just throw this thing away and buy a real product later so save the 100 bucks to begin with.

This Sucks.......2004-07-11

This product is total crap.. It messed up almost immediatly after I got it the buttons fell in and the screen blurred.. Don't buy it!

Get what you pay for.......2004-04-16

Let me start with the good things about the CHD500:

1) Price!! (beats the crap out of other HD drive based products)
2) Great for backing up stuff from u'r stuff and laptop with its large memory
3) Sound is good (when it does play) and the line out feature is cool

Now the bad things:

1) It freezes often
2) Baterry life sucks. I can barely get 1 hour after charging for 10 hours. (This might be a problem with just my player because I have read some good comments about the battery)
3) Navigation is way too complicated. Cannot create playlists on the go, cannot play songs at random, cannot browse for other songs when a song is playing
4) Takes a long time to load a new song

Bottom line: If I could turn back time, I will pay the extra $100 and go for an Ipod.

Also I've heard good things about the CHD1000.
