I purchased this MP3 player for my daughters 10 birthday. This is her first and she loves it. I would recommend this player to anybody wanting a first MP3 player for their child or themselves. The only problem we have is that it locks up once in awhile, but usually if you turn it off and then turn it back on it resolves the problem. We also have it almost full of songs so that could be why it locks up sometimes. It holds about 250 songs. We also use Energizer rechargeable batteries because a friend told us it drains the batteries pretty quick and they work great.
