Advantages: Easy to use, great features and generally a great item

Disadvantages: The screen does occassionally freeze, although pressing the reset button sorts that!

I first received this MP3 player as a gift last summer and I still use it almost every day almost a year on. It's a very good MP3 player for what it costs and has the ability to hold 2GBs (approximately 500) of songs. It has the ability to record on it as well, which I have found to be a very useful feature.

When you turn the device on, you get a list of 5 options. The first is "Music" so that you can listen to music files which you've uploaded. The second is "Radio" which allows you to search for the station you want and listen to it, providing you are in range of the radio centre's broadcasting. The third is "Recordings" which is where you will find things you've manually recorded on it, either from the radio or from other devices. Then, you have the "Details" option where you can find out the details of memory usage and other properties of this device. The final one is "Settings" where you can customise it to your own preferences.

On the MP3 Player there are buttons that allow you to record, turn it on and off, play, pause, stop, turn the volume up and down and lock the screen so that no buttons can be pressed. I found this feature especially useful for when I have it in my pocket while listening to it.

All in all, I would highly recommend this MP3 Player becasue it doesnt cost the earth, it has the capability to record songs and listen to the radio and in general is a very user-friendly piece of equipment.
