Customer Reviews

Ok for the Price
I purchased a refurb for $25. It's more than I can ask for for $25. But there are many issues that needs to be addressed.

1) When player is plugged to the computer to be syncup, and I am all done syncing, even after turning off my computer the player will not return to the main operation screen. I had to power down than back up to use the player.

2) The buttons are hard to use for the exception of the center enter button. The others buttons are nearly impossible to use. I am NOT a huge guy, I can't image a person that has larger fingers than i do try to work this thing.

Besides the above 2 issues, its a pretty decent player for $25. For the full value, I don't know if it can compete with the ZUNE or Ipod.

Will not stop and resume on a movie
Had this for years, only problem is it will not stop, stay overnight and next day pick a movie up right from where it left off at, you have to fast forward from one of 4 spots on the movie that are chapters. I've just got a 120 Zune a few weeks ago; it is awesome, but expensive, so go with this for kids, or someone who just wants to listen to music. Oh and the Drag and Drop feature is awesome, you can add music really fast.

words can't describe how good this player is
but I'll try;

I got a refurb for 50 bucks. Great condition. no problems. Like most normal people, I keep the player in either my hoodie pocket or my pants pocket. My headphone cords are occasionally loose hanging, and several times now, the cord has caught and pulled the player out of my pocket, but I was able to -catch it- mid air by the headphone cord without it slipping out. It's very very snug and good to your headphone cord. I HAVE dropped this player TONS of times. In fact- the 4 screws on the back have all fallen out (not because of bad construction... I lost them), but the player doesn't even NEED them. It is designed so well, the back snaps and stays on quite well without any fasteners (if it comes to that). Also, after some REALLY bad drops, the only damage this little guy has incurred is a bit of fractured plastic on the top left corner! The screen isn't scratched at all, no broken buttons or anything! If you buy the refurb for 50 bucks, you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
