Best Uses
"There is very little NOT to like about this player - basically it does everything it claims and does it well. It is smaller than a matchbox, the clip is sturdy, menus are easy to navigate, easily holds 875 or more MP3 songs, FM reception is decent, 30 Presets are easily accessible, built-in speaker works with FM or MP3 files.
Battery life is about 5 hours on the built-in speaker at full volume - I’m sure it would be better on the provided earbuds. USB cord is decently long, but there is no included AC charger for it.
File selection is by ID3 tag only (you cannot select by folder or file name), but if you have your files tagged properly, that works very well.
The only minor annoyance is that if you turn it off in SHUFFLE mode, it will not remember where it was and when you turn it back on, it will select a new random song (random list seems to be regenerated each time the player is started or the menu is entered).
Also, there is one thing that is poorly explained (not explained) in the manual - the player is designed to work as an MTP device and be sync’d with Windows Media Player or Media Monkey. I had to install it as an MSC (problem with my PC, not the player). You don’t have to sync the files, you can drag and drop, but the player initially has an Internal Storage folder. If you want to use folders, you have to create a Music folder and store the files there or it WILL NOT find them. You can have at least two subfolders under music (Music/Artist/Album/Song.mp3), and possibly more, but I didn’t verify. You can also just dump all the files in the root directory."
