When my 2gb mp3 player just wasn't offering me enough space anymore, I decided to upgrade to something with a little bit more memory. I really wanted an ipod, of course, but being somewhat skint, opted for this, since it was the cheapest mp3 player I could find with this capacity.
It is basically a good enough mp3 player, as long as you don't expect too much of it. If you just want it to play your music, and to be able to scroll through artists, albums and tracks - it's great!
The battery life is a definite pro - I charge mine every few months, and use it every time I drive anywhere, hooked up to one of those converter thingies. Not having to think about charging it all the time is great. It even charges itself quite quickly if you're just adding tracks and take a bit of time choosing them!
It does have some cons however... it's frozen up on me so badly in the past that I've feared it had died completely. I couldn't get it to turn on for 3 days, but eventually managed to get my pc to recognise it, and reformated, which did the trick.
It freezes up if you try to use the feature to scroll through the alphabet on the right hand side in any of the views... I have never managed to get this feature to work for me. I'm alright with just scrolling through til I find what I'm looking for though, so no biggie.
If you actually fill it, it will skip, which is VERY annoying. So leave a few mb free space on there.
Basically good for the price though, and I've had mine for many years! Would only upgrade for more memory, but that's a luxury I can't afford!
