Pros & Cons
Pros
Streaming limits and battery life. Charging is a challenge. I wish it had a designated on/off button.
The sound is wonderful! This is great for setting playlists when you need them to be somewhat specific and can't have them shuffling. It survived in my pocket through a drenching rainstorm, playing right through till my pants dried a while later.

This is the best mp3 i have owned.
Sleek, small, hides almost anywhere and holds a lot of songs, sans anything else you can put on the device.
I have tried the reset button multiple times, removed all the music, the mp3 player still says there are hundreds of "unknown" songs on it.
Price
Well worth the price of the device.
For the price and given the features, i'd highly recommend it.
But a small price to pay for the longevity and reliability.
A little pricey but you can't beat the sound.
Shipping
Quick ship, well packaged, product as advertised.
