It uses a AAA battery so I don't have to throw away player when the battery dies. Plays well and easily transfers music files using Window Media player. Doesn't have a lock on it, but I've never had a problem with that. It still works after a year

Isn't compatible with downloading audiobooks using online libraries. This is my only complaint. If you load audiobooks on your mp3 player using your local library online downloads, forget it

it works

this thing is total garbage, bad sound quality and i dropped it TWICE when running and it just died on me and never worked again. Also cheap material, feels like it's going to break on you in an instant. Not good, not even for a simple workout mp3 player

Lightweight, compact, easy access to controls

Does not play

First of all, I love how it takes AAA batteries and you don't need to wait to charge it on a USB port on the computer. The looks are great and is very compact. The price is great for what you are buying. I have been listening to music for a week now...

The USB adapter that plugs into the base of the player seems like it would be a weak spot and break off. I have had no problems with it yet and just because it seems like a potential hazard to me, don't mean it is a weak spot at all. Maybe the R&D guys...

Easy to use controls. Good sound quality (for podcasts or audio books which is all I listen too). Battery life (see Other Thoughts). Works nicely with Linux. Love the price. Will probably buy a couple more for gifts

The battery it came with but see Other Thoughts

size battery life and loudness bright display and very clear

butions are very stiff and would not tuen on at first but got it to work. and menus are very hard to get though

Nice design, but seems to be cheap.. I don't really care, just need it for gym and stop using my 80gb ipod classic at my car. Same as the other review if I lose it, don't really care.. I got the one that has radio, is pretty good ; Even use it as files...

4gb's.. I was looking for 8, but is ok

Small ; Ability to use my rechargeable batteries ; 4 gig is a decent size for gym and such ; Cheap enough to not care if I lose it

Not a 6g ipod nano, but do I want to pay 100+ extra for album cover art hmmm
