Not so well

Its 4gb

When I would plug it in to charge or put new songs on it it would get very hot. I've had it for almost 2 months and I was putting some new songs on it when it malfunctioned. The only problem was that when you put new songs on it the computer won't see...

A Gamble

worth the money if you can keep it working, if you google it you will see its problem prone, rca call in support is worhtless and it almost cost more to ship it in then to buy a new one but for 20 if it works for a year then its way worth it

holds alot of music,easy and basic navigation, rca support online is ok cheapest around a good deal if it works

system corrupt file usually means you have to open the back (will void warrenty, though its only thirty days) and reconnect a black cord, file cant be found means you have to reinstall firmware and maybe reformat

just great

the quality of the mp3 isgreat for the price specially the newegg price:) this thing is so fast on my pc, ican copy even 1gb worth of files and it would only take like 20 seconds it realy is a great purchase for any one who is lookingfor a spacious mp3...

the battery canlast a long time in playingi tested mine and left it it lasted like 8 hours, it charges very quickly and it is very easy to navigate thru files

the screen is very small (i can only see half of the file name on my screen and it would hurt if it had fm radio and it tales a while for it to respond ( not enough th bother me because is lessthan a sencon)

Nice little MP3 player

Very pleased with this product, i'd reccomend it to anybody that's looking for an inexpensive MP3 player

Despite the fairly poor reviews i had to buy one of these, $20 was too good to pass up. And so far i have not been disappointed, works more consistently than some of the more expensive players i've purchased in the past, and had a better menu layout...

Occasionally after loading new music it will skip the profiling step when you turn it on, and ask you to manually start a profiling later on

Recertified: RCA Lyra 1.5" Red 4GB MP3 Player RD2762

Lots of space for music, and easy interface

Had it for about 3 hours before it went to file corruption and cant do anything to fix it ; Avoid the temptation its not worth it

RCA Lycra - piece of junk

My file system corrupted within a month. I received a replacement under warranty, but the replacement corrupted after a month as well. avoid at all costs.

Easy to move music ; Drag and drop files, or sync via Windows Media Player

File system corrupts very easily

Sturdy

Some things to know and avoid hassles. You do not need third party software or even Windows Media Player to structure your files. Go into advanced options and switch the protocol to MSC. This will make your computer read it as a portable hard drive....

Price is absolutely a pro. Compact, good sound quality, battery life is not bad. For me 4GB fits about 45 albumns (this depends on quality of your mp3s, length of songs, ect). I bought one of these brand new at $50 for my girlfriend and thought that...

Discarded the headphones that came with it. If you plug in some nice headphones (your choice, I use some Sony studio monitors - MDR-V150 $14 from Newegg) then you can really enjoy the sound quality. Remember using boosted headphones like this will...
