3 out of 5 stars decent and cheap - workout? .......2007-02-02

stopping and restarting so that you pick up where you leave off press stop and hold the button until it shuts down. Play will allow you to start back up. I prefered the previous firmware- ie the stuff that's loaded- I ended up installing a new firmware. The previous allowed my player to be recognized only as a flash drive. I liked that because it allowed me to create folders and check the amount of room left easily. The new firmware is better in terms of file order- I believe it loads in the order the files are copied- but I miss the freedom of simply creating a directory and knowing exactly how much room was left. Of course this lead to me accidentily erasing the firmware. But the performance of this player is still decent. The belt clip is long gone, I think I sucessfully used it for three months, and then it broke. It still fits in my pocket and I'm not using it in an athletic situation. It occurs to me that it would be reasobably easy to construct a similar belt clip- perhaps even using some belt clip from another device. I haven't worked out how, but a thin gauge wire might be a good place to start. This player takes a lot of fooling around to figure out and it's not the most intuitive piece but it plays mp3 and wma and that means I happily use it for podcasts and audio books from my local library. It's not perfect but it's not expensive it has a visual display. I've seen something that suggests you can change the background color. I have not achieved that yet.

Keep the firmware (perhaps copying it to your computer as backup).
Don't use it to work out- it's belt clip will fail and that's the only way to use the armband.
Unintuitive button use.

Still good playback. Multiple file support. windows media playlists? rugged construction. easy use with conventional or rechargable batteries.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT PLAYER.......2007-01-31

This Mp3 player is really great for using at the gym or any sporting activity.

-first of all it was smaller than i thoght
-the little joystick feel is wierd but you get used to it
-the player looks robust and like it can take some abuse
-the eq function is fine, rock is my favorite
-you can change the color of the LCD orange,blue,purple
-it has an fm radio and you can record radio
-amazing battery life, and you dont have to rely on an internal battery, it uses an AA battery for 50 hours of play, and after 2 years you wont have to worry about the internal battery life ending.
-it has a great clip and arm band to use it were you want it

AND BESIDES ALL OF THE ABOVE IT MESSURES YOUR HEART RATE

GREAT PLAYER

1 out of 5 stars Stay away from this useless junk.......2007-01-25

Nothing about this player makes sense. It is as if it was designed by graduates of Boston College. The buttons take FOREVER to respond, if they respond at all. The order that the songs are in make no sense. Alphabetical..really? I have no idea what RCA was thinking releasing this bomb on the general public.

5 out of 5 stars good player, minor drawbacks.......2007-01-19

Just got this for Christmas. So far it's been great. Haven't had any major issues with it, even what others have stated. Here are some things that people might not like about it: you have to use windows media player to add or delete songs from it. It's not drag and drop like some of the other players I've seen. The software that comes with it(other then the drivers) is like a demo and tends to lock up plus it keeps asking if I want to 'buy' the full version of it everytime I open it. Very annoying, so I just use media player which works just fine. Yes, the plastic clip seems very flimsy, but if you use the arm band, I think it is more then adequate for that. The buttons, at first, seemed difficult to activate, but as I have been using it that has gotten better.

The earbuds are nice and have good sound. The battery included with the player is a very good long life alkaline.

Over all, I like the player. It was given to me as a gift. The only thing different I would have like it to have an SD card slot to expand the memory, but then I haven't been able to use up all the memory it currently has!

1 out of 5 stars A Piece Of Junk.......2007-01-15

RCA had a good idea but a bad design. The Software is like trying to find your way through a maze that has no exit. I was a system network engineer and I was ready to bounce it off the walls a few times. The clip broke when trying to ugrade the firmware before we had a chance to use it. I had to call and order another clip which took over and hour. Save up and buy something better or go get a root canal it's less painfull.

          2 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!.......2007-03-22

          Although the features and price are tempting, the overall quality of the firmware (devices internal software) is below substandard quality.

          Simple functions like finding and selecting songs is a real pain, requiring you to navigate through all songs available one at a time. With 2 GB of memory filled with files, this becomes real time consuming.

          When you pause a song for only a few seconds, the player stops the current song completely and returns to the first song in the list. You must then find the song you were listening to all over again. There are no search functions available to help locate and play the song you want.

          Many menu selections either don't work as expected or simply do nothing at all. Though I thought organizing songs into folders would make finding songs easier, the folder/directory selection feature doesn't select anything, and returns you to the first song in memory.

          Although this items claims to play video, the one included on the player played great, all videos must be converted to a specific file format not standard in the US, using software included on the CD. The problem is the Windows only software accepts a limited number of video file formats, and I have had no luck with any files I have tried to convert.

          Although connecting the player to a Mac OS computer was as straight forward as any other flash drive, connecting the player to Windows XP took several attempts, and all software on the CD only works on Windows. The Mac version of iTunes would not recognize this player.

          Though headphones are included, the headphone jack does not accept a standard headphone mini-plug (it uses the smaller standard found on many mobile phones), so using higher quality headphones commonly available (like Sony or Koss) is not possible without a plug adaptor.

          I would not recommend this player to anyone.

          1 out of 5 stars I bought the throw-away model.......2007-03-05

          Quit working correctly after 3 weeks. Needs to be charged nightly, after only 1 1/2 hours of playtime.

          Instructions are a joke. "no makee sense", written with a .5 pitch type!
          Always repeats the same song, reset to autorepeat everytime I turn it on.

          You get what you pay for. Amazon, you dishonor your reputation by allowing these to be sold on your sight.

          THIS IS A P.O.S. i should've put my money into an iPOD..at least they're more dependable. the USB cord didn't work with the music player and the manual was the worst thing ever!!!it didn't help me at all with what i was trying to do. DONT BUY THIS MUSIC PLAYER!! if u see this warning in time dont buy it. buying an iPOD in person is better than goin thru this B.S. to contact seller. if it is too late..good luck
