Junk

Even though it's dirt cheap, it's a complete waste of money. As always, props to Newegg for good service and fast delivery.

Dirt cheap

Very slow, some functions don't work due to buggy firmware ; Support is very bad. So bad that they disabled their forum for a while because they were getting too many issues that they could not resolve ; In addition to this, the device just feels cheap...

Don't waste your $

I bought this for my 8-yr-old son who lost his first, nice MP3. The reviews suggested it was acceptable, though most of them hadn't had the MP3 for very long. We got 1. It lasted ~1 month. Then it did this thing where it got stuck--it was on and stuck...

Cheap

Cheap. It lasts about as long as you'd expect from an MP3 player at this price. If you want a throw-away item, get it. Otherwise, look elsewhere

Decent for Price

Keep in mind that you're getting what you pay for. So this device is not of superior quality and features, but it does exactly what I purchased it for. It can also serve as a voice recorder and a USB thumbdrive.

Small Size, Simple Features, USB connection

Cheap construction

Shady Centon

Thanks for nothing Centon. I have read countless comments about failed devices. Yes, the mp3 player is somewhat nifty and sweet, but your gambling with a shady company, who in my opinion is wronging you, quite deliberatly. I recommend class action...

The mp3 player would have been the ideal mp3 player for budget had it not failed, and had to be replaced with a different model with less features and a limit to its overall life. Darned if you do, darned if you don't

This is a discontinued model. If it fails, and it certainly might, you will get a seriously less downgrade, which I propose to file a class action lawsuit against. After my first device failed, and the replacement failed within weeks of receipt, I was...

best mp3 player for the money

I know I did not seperate the pros and cons correctly but since centon is not very responsive with their tech support. I wanted to help those who bought this player by explaining the instructions a little more. It took me three hours to find the folder...

I have bought three of these over the past 3 years. All have worked great. Just bought a new one a couple weeks ago for my dad who broke his first one by crushing it. They have done some nice updates. The controls are alot more responsive now. It is...

button to bring up the options menu. Remember, paused song pressing mode button brings up folder browsing, playing song pressing mode button brings up equalizer and repeat song options. The player does have directions but they suck. They will...
