Great MP3 player. Use it on my Gold-wing during long travel trips.

Good item, still works.

The player was advertised that it came with a 16GB microSD card and that it would take much larger one. I replaced the provided card with a 64GB one. With the player connected to my computer, it took over 12 hours for my 30GB of music to copy. When I attempted to play the music, I got a message SD Card Error. Removing the card and reading it through my PC, everything was fine. I put the original microSD back in the player and got the same message, but my PC could read it.I contacted the company, and the suggestion was to format the card in FAT32 which has a volume limitation of 4 GB and would defeat my reason for purchasing. The company offered privately to replace it, but I returned it through Amazon instead.BTW - the microSD card pictured in the description looks to be a Photoshop creation with the company name added. What I received was a very generic looking black card with white printing.

Overall this isn't a bad MP3 player and serves it's purpose. I have it hooked up to a car stereo and for that use it's ok. I unpacked it, copied about 80 MP3's to it, and it worked. The interface takes a little to get used to when it comes to navigation. I decided it was time to copy a couple hundred MP3's to it and the copy went fine. When I powered on the player it started scanning and got stuck at 2%. I left and came back a few hours later and it was still at 2%. I disconnected it from the computer, waited for it to power off, but it never did. I then had to perform a reset on it (fortunately there's a reset button) and then the device reported there was an error on the SD card. No biggie. I took the SD card out and formatted it, then copied about 250 MP3's to it. The device then scanned successfully and it seems to be back up and working properly. I do wish it had a randomize feature for MP3's.

Pros: Decent sound quality, Small, compact.Cons: The UI is absolutely terrible. You get what looks like 4 directional buttons with an ok button in the center. But they are not actually directional buttons. Only the right and left buttons will move selections, and the top and bottom buttons are a menu and a back button.So essentially navigating this thing feels like navigating the menus on a PC monitor where you only have 3 buttons to push. It's very tedious, and it's easy to press the wrong button sending you into the wrong area.The volume doesn't even have it's own dedicated buttons. Instead you have to hold the volume button down to bring up a volume slider, then you press left and right to make the volume go up and down. Now this volume button you have to hold is the same button that sends you back, so if you don't do it right you can accidentally leave the menu you're in when you're just trying to change the volume. Also, it's easy to accidentally skip tracks since the buttons you hit to move the volume slider are also the same buttons that change tracks when the volume slider isn't active. So it's just very unintuitive and annoying to navigate with this thing.I bought this to listen to music while driving, so I don't really need to be digging through menus constantly anyways. I can just start playing music from the folder I want, turn shuffle on, set the volume to max, and then adjust the volume through my car speakers. So for this purpose it's totally sufficient.But if I was gonna sit around all day browsing and flipping through a large music collection, this device would not be a good choice.Next, It's EXTREMELY slow to transfer music onto. I was getting around 55mb per minute as my transfer rate. Meaning my 19gb music collection took about 6 hours to transfer.Also, it frequently disconnected from my computer at random times, making me having to unplug it and plug it back in before I could continue transferring.Lastly, it doesn't let you upload playlists, and instead you have to organize your music by folders. When you start playing music from a folder that whole folder becomes the playlist. This wasn't really an issue for me, since I have much of my music organized like this already.But for those of you who don't, I recommend a free Windows app called "Music Bee". Open a playlist in music bee, then right click the playlist and go to Send to > Folder (Copy) > Copy Files to Folder. Then tell it which folder you want the music sent to.When it copies the songs into that new folder, it will add numbers to the beginning of each file name. These numbers will allow you to preserve the order of your playlist, even without an actual playlist file.Lastly, MusicBee also allows you to bulk convert entire playlists to different audio formats, which was very helpful for me, as much of my music is in an incompatible format.So, I first used MusicBee to get my playlist songs numbered and into their own folder. Then I used MusicBee again to convert those songs to MP3 format.For $30 it's a decent option. Just be prepared to do some extra work organizing your music and for it to take a very long time to transfer large amounts of data onto it.

The instructions and a video link left me to figure out how to actually download music to this. They were incomplete and not clear. Luckily found a video on You tube and despite the manufacturer's "instructions" I managed to get it to work. There's a picture of a color display on the ad but it's not a color display unless I just haven't found that setting to change it. It also came with the micro sd card which I didn't realize when I ordered it.

I don't know what the complaints are about. I somehow misplaced my iRiver from 2005 and I was super bummed because I don't pay for any music apps and I'm about fed up with ads. I was easily able to transfer all my digital music from college plus my husband's collection with no issues and tons of space left over. The navigation is a bit wonky but you'll figure it out. If you don't like how things are filtered usually one of the other categories gets the albums straight. Love the aux jack and speaker option. Faster transfers than my newer technology. Love the simplicity. Haven't tried the Bluetooth but honestly hate Bluetooth because I get headaches when I use my wireless headphones.
