I'm with the mp3 players and very happy for themselves. After my last has finally given up the ghost but after five years, I wanted to about the same again. It is particularly positive that one can abuse the player as a USB flash drive, whatever is in the University of advantage. Due to the large memory and larger files fit easily on it. The sound is okay. Shortcoming, however, is that the volume compared to other devices is a little quieter. For bus and train, it is sufficient, however, even when the engine roars and talk loudly with each other passengers. Who likes to hear his music very loud, which I would advise against this unit. For all others who have a weing sensitive like me, it is enough all times. As a bit awkward I feel also the menu. Who wants to switch from random playback on repeat, must complete the menu and also if you are looking for a particular song, you will need to have a little patience. However, I'm probably a little spoiled by my last player where all this was done with a push of a button. Otherwise, I can recommend the device in any case. It is small, fits in any pocket, has an attractive design and is easy.
