Anonymous verified purchaser , “Mother of 3”

+ I bought this for my 9 yr old son as a cheaper alternative to his brother's apple nano. It certainly is better value for money than an apple ipod. He seems very happy with it and isn't bothered that is isn't an apple ipod

- The only feature I've not found easy to use is downloading songs from itunes, which I specifically bought it for so that he can download songs his brother has already bought. Other downsides are that there are less compatible products available for use with it such as clock radios, speakers etc

Tara, Brigg , “37, female”

+ This is brilliant, perfect for my parents 65th birhtday present, MUCH better than my ipod-which I only bought because noone else makes a green mp3 player. I'm getting a Sony when my ipod dies, the Sony is the best thing I have ever used. AND it has a radio! The sound is great, it works through their laptop so they can use it on their boat. The buttons are really user friendly and the screen is so clear and easy to read. I love it!

- doesn't come in green.

+ Very quick and easy to use compared to other previous mp3 players I have had. It's well worth buying a compatable leather case for it to protect it from scratches,etc. These are easy to find on the internet through sites like Amazon.

- The supplied headphones are a bit tinny so suggest upgrading to more expensive 'in-ear' headphones or whatever you find comfortable. Also the player sometimes get confused with songs downloaded from the internet and will create separate files for each even if from the same cd. Apart from that it's a great mp4 player.
