I, or rather Santa bought this mp3 player for my son (5 years old) for Christmas. He absolutely loves it! The ear buds NEVER leave his ears. It was VERY easy to teach him how to use. He likes how small it is, it just slips easily into a pocket. So far it's stood up to the constant dropping and abuse from him with no problems. It charges fairly quick and keeps a charge for about 12 or so hours. Im not sure how many songs it holds but he has about 30 two or three minute songs on there now. I would definitely recommend this mp3 player because it cheap and reliable.
