Great player for a great price

C D'angelo from trenton, nj

i just got this last week, and i love it, its very slim, can fit in the smaller pocket in my jeans perfectly, the screen is small, and the words on the screen seem to shake when you shake it, but other than that it is very clear and readable. it has a great radio player on it (cant get that with any IPOD) with 10 presets and you can record songs off the radio with it. you can also put pictures on it, which is a cool feature as well. as far as music goes, its very good, the headphones that come with it arent the most comfortable in the world, but the sound quality is very good. it has the option to display the album cover of the song when it plays, while it is a cool feature, not good for the tiny screen, when the album art is up, you can barely see the title of the song. Also i was dissapointed that you cant actaully just pick a specific song you want to hear, you can only search by artist or album, which is fine, but it still would be nice if it included a function where you can go st … Read more

loading gigabeat u

William M. Wagner from Amazon

I haven't had a problem loading the gigabeat without windows media player. I'm no computer wiz and it was my first mp3 player so the neighbor set up a folder to put the music in and it has worked fine. The computer 'sees' the gigabeat in 'My Computer.' You can do all functions from there. Later I did use windows media player on my dad's computer and have had no problem there either. People said windows would restrict the music I put on it but that hasn't been the case. What I do want is for Toshiba to put out their sport case for the U series 2gb. I can't find a case anywhere that will fit it. Read more

Excellent toy

S. Hornet from San Jose, CA United States

Frankly speaking, I am fan of Creative. I bought this player from Toshiba out of curiosity... and because it was on sell ;-). I am really impressed by the quality of this tiny Toshiba player. The body is metallic and gives the feeling of long lasting. Battery life is remarkable - 20hours for audio compared side by side with 15 hours of ZENV. Boot up time is also very short - around 1 second (much shorter than the 4...5 seconds for ZEN V). On the "dark side", Gigabeat has less features and options but nothing that I cannot live without. Regarding the comment of our friend HappyBruin, I agree with him regarding the obnoxiousness of the iPod software (this being one reason for which I would never buy one)... But that is not the case of the Toshiba player. You don't need any software to use it - Windows will see it as a storage device - as simple as that! I am sure that he would delete his comments now if they would not be the property of Amazon.com; perhaps next time he will do his homew … Read more

C. Williams from Florida

I am real disappointed in this mp3 player. The product discription did not say it would only work with XP or Vista and media player 10 or 11. My work computer is Windows 2000, so I cannot use the player at work. There is no dock station. It can only work with media player. There is no way to listen to it except by earphones. I wish I had order a Zune or Creative. I ordered it because of the audio, which I am not impressed with. Read more

M. McClain from Amazon

This is my second gigabeat (already own an S-60)and is used primarily by my wife. Small - easy to use, reliable, and tremendous battery life. I only dislike the cheesy graphics for the albums and that fact that the text scrolls when the track name is anything more than about 15 characters long. My wife loves it - and it is compatible with both Rhapsody and Napster (we like the subscription programs because we download hundered of different songs a month and rarely like anything enough to buy them.) We will probably buy another for the kids. Read more
