"Our first Pearl froze on the first day, so we took it back to the store and exchanged it. Our second PEARL lasted about a week, then it too froze up. First, it would play only a couple songs, then quit. Then, it quit altogether and now it only comes up with the display "PEARL", and will not boot up. As for connecting it to the computer, no system in our house will bring it up on the USB: They all recognise it as a PEARL mass storage device, but none of our XP machines can boot it up as a removable hard drive. Thus, our second PEARL is as unusable as the first one. A real disappointment. There appears to be NO helpful troubleshooting information available on the RCA or audiovox website, nor anywhere else that I can find. I can, however, find about a dozen other futile online pleas for help from users with identical trouble. Beware of the PEARL."

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
