Great Music Machine!

 

Great battery life (40 hours on AA), sound, voice recording, line-in recording, FM radio---WOW!

WARNING! MAY CAUSE EXTREME HAPPINESS!

 

I got this MP3 player at Best Buy for $179.99 a month ago. And as soon as I got it I found a flaw. They gave me 2 neckstraps and no earphones! Lol. So I had to exchange it. When we got back, everything was in order. I plugged in the headphones, put in ...

SUPERB SOUND, Easy to use to a point, very portable, long battery life/certain conditions

Can be hard to use, joystick is prone to breaking under harsh usage
