    Any chance of pics? Like comapred to an iPod, or toher MP3 player, or mobile phone, remote control etc. Or a 5 pound note, then we can see how it looks like.

    I have had one for a while, I paid a higher price, never mind!

    I use mine in the car, great sound and I can store lots of music and files.

    My only gripe is that the songs for each album are stored in alpabetical order not number order so the songs play out of sinc.

    If anybody can explain a way round this, let me know.

    It is a very good price now, well worth buying.

    Not had this problem with mine.... They play according to number.. Do you have your songs numbered??. Are you playing from the playlist option??

    No I have not really used the playlist option.

    I presumed that was just an option to choose you favourite tracks but I wanted to listen to certain albumms/tracks so I choose an artist, then the album and then play.

    The tracks are then out of order, you get used to it but it's not ideal.

    I'm sure there is a way around it but I have not found one yet.

    I did try number the tracks once before putting it on the MP3 but that made no difference.

    It does go out of sync if you do it that way. If you use the File/Folder option they stay in order

  • Hi Debs626
    Thanks for putting this link up. I hummed and harred for a few days before finally getting one today. I'm so glad I did. Never had an MP3 player before so I have nothing to compare it to but I think it is great.
    Not doing to good at transfering my CD collection onto it using "Realplayer 10" but transferred enough on for now.

    Also, thanks to everyone else who contributed as it is always good to hear other opinions and experiences, especially when buying something your unsure of.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for downloading music off the internet? Had a look at some of the more obvious sites such as Tesco, Napster etc. I am I right in thinking that all single items are approx 79p?

    Thanks muchly op. Bought 1 today (its charging now). Yes it is big - I'd say the size of the original walkmans, not the later skinny ones.

    Looking forward to playing with it tomorrow.
