"I bought this MP3 player mostly to listen to podcasts and audio books. I was pleasantly surprised that it does this reasonably well. When you turn it off, and turn it back on, it takes picks up where it left off. It even keeps its place after you connect and disconnect it from your computer. Some MP3 players drain the battery at a significant rate even when off. My last player, a Sony, would need to be recharged after a week even if it was never used. This would be annoying because I would loose my place in the audio book I was listening to. This one is specified to take 300uA when off. I measured the current taken by mine and it is under 150uA. Even at the specified rate, a battery would last 3 months and it keeps its place even after the battery has been removed for a long time.

As a voice recorder, it’s O.K. There is more distortion at the lower sampling rates that there should be. It allows you to pause while recording a single file. Even after voice recording, it will take you back to where you left off in the MP3 you were listening to.

My only significant criticisms are the lack of DRM support so you can’t load some audio books directly and the mechanical control that moves up and down for volume, left and right for changing tracks and is pushed to pause and resume. When pushing the control to pausing and resume playback, it is very easy to accidentally change tracks by having a little side to side motion."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
