Good little player ^_^.......2006-12-12

I bought my little Lyra RD2765A at the local FYE about 2 weeks ago. I can say that so far, I'm very happy with it. I pretty much stick to using the basics of it, transfer files to it using browser windows instead of any program, aside from the Lyra DJ ( I also do my own music file tagging before hand in Winamp, RARELY do I ever use Windows Media Player ).

File transfers are simple to do, the sound is GREAT, and the volume control sensitivity is VERY nice. I do agree that using this to look at images is kind of pointless ( why would people want to look at a highly detailed image on small screens anyway? Give me a full 17" computer screen, thank you. ).

I like the little navigation joystick, it's easier to feel for when you have to keep your eyes on the road or where you're walking. The only downside to it is that you have to lock the player when you put it in it's sleeve so when the joystick moves, it doesn't affect anything.

Also, trying to find car adapters if a car doesn't have a tape deck is a bit annoying, as most adapters out there now are made to fit Ipods sockets, and not much else. Same goes with protective sleeves. There are NO protective sleeves out in the market that fit the design of the RCA Lyra RD2765A. And yes, the shiny mirror finish DOES show off finger prints badly. But it's nothing a little TLC can't take care of.

We'll see what my opinion on the player is during the next few months, but so far, I'm very happy ^_^.

Don't Buy!.......2006-12-06

I got this item in March 2006 to start my new workout regime. I used it for music only. It started off nice, I had about 400 songs on it (lasting between 3 and 4 minutes in WMA format). When I first got it, I could get some serious playtime out of it. As I used it only for the gym, I can't estimate the number of continuous hours of play. In any event. After about 3 months of usage (June 2006), it wouldn't last more than an hour. So I deleted the songs that didn't do much for me in the gym, bringing the total songs down to about 300. In August, I lost my workout steam--much like the Lyra lost it's music play steam--and put it away for a while. I recently started back using it (December 2006) and I now get about 15 minutes of play time from this device.

Man, I wish I'd purchased an Apple iPod.

great gift.......2006-11-10

to the person it was given to, said it was fantastic, the sound was great, the features were easy... very friendly user

It's nice for a beginner or newbie mp3 owner........2006-07-23

Hello, I've decided to write a review on my experience with the RCA LYRA 2765. I owned it for about 9 months before I got that horrible "File System Corrupted" message. Now this little gadget worked nice , it had on average 6 hours of playtime (No, It does not play for long periods of time, so forget that *12* hours promise on the box) The file transfer through the USB cord was fast, but when you wanted to profile a long list of songs, it took over an hour, or would freeze and you had to start again. It was durable, I dropped it a couple of times. However, it did get dirty. I mean really, smudged, icky looking dirty becuase of the shiny silver chrome. It won't be shiny after a few weeks, trust me. I was able to get about 1,400 songs on the 5 GB hard disk, most of them in WMA format. You can also change the background picture, but don't bother using this as a photo viewer. It just sucks at holding photos. They were all tiny and screwed up. Also, be aware that this MP3 player will not last past 1 year. I've never talked to an RCA LYRA owner who has had one for more than 9-10 months. For some reason, no matter how nice you take care of it and no matter how good your music is in formats, eventually this little message pops up that says "File System Corrupted". I tried to reset it, over an over. I tried to take the hard drive out and clean it, but it still had that message (ALSO, if you do take your LYRA apart like I did, it voids the warranty) But Thompson has some crappy customer service so don't bother calling them. ANYWAY, It's a nice gift for someone who has never had an MP3 player before and wants to test drive it. But for a real, long lasting player, go with Creative or Sony. Or sell your soul and buy that iPod.

Not for audiobooks.......2006-07-10

Works fine as a music player but didn't perform the function for which it was purchased: to play downloaded audiobooks. At least in Massachusetts, audiobooks are downloaded from libraries as single files of up to 150 mb. However, this player lacks a "bookmarking" feature so you cannot listen to 10 pages worth, stop the player, and pick up where you left off the next day.
