Jessica, Monaghan
Score 1.0/10+ It has quite a large memory and so holds a lot of songs which was perfect for me at the time.
- It doesn't work. The first time I received the product, it would not work at all and I could not get any music on it so I had te return it. It was then replaced and was working fine for a week or so and then just completely refused to work, it wouldn't even switch on! About four months later, I came across it and tried switching it on and it worked! I have been using it for the past two weeks, had no real problems, could play music nad upload new music onto it. Then last night I put some more new music on it and this morning it refuses to work again. It switches on but then is showing no music whatsoever so is therefore completely useless!

Kulbinder, Bradford , “love new technology”
Score 2.0/10+ I was impressed with the voice recording function and the amount of memory available. Having said that you aren't always able to hear playback for some reason.
- It doesnt play every track that has been loaded, some never play at all. I am only able to hear every track via windows media player. So, as a result i have been unable to use this product and i am very disappointed.

I bought this reconditioned MP3 player as a Christmas present for my daughter. The good points were that:
1. It was excellent value for money
2. It was nice looking and compact enough to keep in a handbag or pocket
3. It had a very large storage capacity
-
The bad points are:
1. It stopped working properly around mid February, and my daughter could only listen to it in short bursts before
it switched itself off
2. It appears to have deleted more than half of the tracks she put onto it
