This little player is awesome!!! I was looking for an MP3 player for some time and didn't want to join the Ipod cult. I have friends that have Ipod minis but I didn't want to shell out that much money. I also didn't need that much space 1GB is more than enough for me. It is so easy to put music on and off the player! Also it was importaint for me to be able to replace the battery with little effort. I've had this player for 2 months and I'm still on the original battery! I love that I can attach a cord to it so it can hang around my neck.
