It's part of my life:

I didn't know if I'd use an MP3 player much when I bought this device and I didn't want to spend too much. I've now owned it for over a year and I cannot live without it. I use it for listening to audio books, news and podcasts.

Carry a whole lotta music with you.:

This unit has worked woderfully well. I got may wife a 2GB SansaClip and she loves it, but said she like the lrger screen in this play. The clip is a bit handier. I also like that this unit has replaceable battery AAA size. I'm using a rechargabe. It is easy to operate even for clutses like me.

There are reviews to say that there are noises in the music. This is not true, as music in 128 kb bitrate sounds good to my ears without noises as some people claim.
This player cannot play directly from folders but can playback by categories such as artistes, genre, album,... more info
