An Inexpensive, No-Frills MP3 Player

With all of the recent hype surrounding the iPod, I found myself asking if I should consider replacing my reliable workhorse iRock 520. Would it be worth the $250 or so investment? Although I don’t consider it a direct competitor to the iPod, just ...

A good little player that does what you'd expect

Perfect for a simple person..

This is my second MP3 player and satisfy's me. Easy to use operates great, and downloads great! Downloads fast and easy. Only problem is that it doesn't support "wma's" so you have to download music off of the internet to get it on the MP3 player, and...

Small, light, easy to read and understand to use.

Colors aren't exactly "cool". Ear plugs hurt after a while.
