I just got my player and so far so good. My husband and 8 year old grandson have the 512 and love it. Use is straight forward. The instructions included were very basic and photocopied from something else (humm) and the color was a very hot pink. The color isn't a problem but I did want use info. Not a problem. Went to the SanDisk website and downloaded the pdf file.I'm sitting here typing and listening to the FM--without the antenna and the reception is good.
