My husband bought this for me as an early Christmas present. It's awesome. I'm not very technically savvy, but it was so easy to figure out. The manual is clearly written, which was unespected given the fact that it's a Chinese Model.
One of the reasons (besides cost) that I wanted a Chinese model insead of an iPod was that I am kind of weird about organizing my music. I have a broad taste in music, so I organize by genre, then by artist and by album after that. As far as I know, an iPod doesn't allow for that. This model does. I can import the music in the folders as it is organized on my computer. So easy!
I love that it's expandable by memory cards. The screen has a great picture quality, and I plan to put movies and books on the cards. You can read any book in a text file on it while you're listening to music...Super Cool!
A few people complained that when they plug it into their computer, it's reads as two devices. This is because it's expandable by SD cards. When there is not a card in the player, then the secondary drive noted on the computer is not accessible. When there is a card in the player, you can access the drive to add and delete files as normal. Also, the player has a function to tell you how much space is left on both, which is helpful if you want to fill it with as a many files as possible!
The games are ok. Not great, but ok. You can never go wrong with the classic Tetris, but I might look into adding more games onto it.
One of my complaints is that the stylis they send can't be attatched to the player anywhere. But it does come with a rubber sleeve for the player, so for now I've just slipped the stylis into the sleeve between it and the player.
The screen is not super sensitive, which I suppose is both good and bad.
As far as I've been able to tell, there is not a shuffle option. For now, that is my biggest peeve.
Overall, this is a great player for an even better price. I would definitely reccommend it to friends and family! |
Good Deal

SO I read all these reviews after I bought this player but before it arrived.
Some of the reviews actually freaked me out and made me worry quite a bit. I forsaw all sorts of problems and feared the worst as I generally have horrible luck.
When the player arrived I was skeptical. It came in a small box that sorta was a rip off of the ipod packaging (this is a replacement for my 80gb ipod classic...altho that was gift).
At first I was aggrivated that the touch screen wasn't too sensative. After I had messed with it for a little bit I figured out how to use the touch screen and now I like it just fine.
I also was frustrated that when I loaded about 1/3 of my music onto the player through Windows Media Player it took a long time, and the music was just in one big long list, not seperated by artist. I can't handle that because that is a looong list since I have alot of songs by most of the artists I have.
BUT, I came home and gave it another shot. I just dragged my entire folder of artists and music into the player folder and it showed up just the way I had it organized in my computer.
So I was happy with that...and actually like it better than ipod because I can arrange it nearly any way I want to.
Overall I was scared at first and very satisfied now.
After I gave it a few minutes, got used to the way it worked, and worked out organizing it I am in love with it.
I think most of the reviews people left where they had alot of problems was just a lack of computer/electronics skills. Because anything that sorta sucked was easily fixed with just a little computer skills.
I am therefore giving it five stars for disproving my fears. It came pretty fast, it works as it is supposed to, I personally like it for my particular uses, and because it was freaking cheap. Seriously for what it is, that is an excellent price and I have no complaints.
I almost expected it to suck because it was cheap.
However it is good quality for the extremely low price. |
I love my player

I had a Sansa mp3 player previously.it was ....okay.
As a traditional musician who records live music, and listens to it a lot, as well as downloaded music from other sources, my ability to navigate, and record are extremely important to me.
My sansa died in one year - the on/off switch broke. Now I can't even retrieve the last stuff I'd recorded!
Tne new Pro E player ( by Pro Ebiz) meets all my requirements, and then some-
Sturdy on/off switch
Ability to charge from regular outlet ( not a computer, like the Sansa)Files that are downloaded directly reflect how they were organized on my computer, and I can access them by artist or just alphabetically - and no special software was needed! Keeps the titles of tunes, etc as well
Sound is good
Radio is good
Can play for others to hear if I don't use the earphones ( that's important between musicians when we are arguing how a tune goes)
Like the expandable memory as well.
Drawbacks: screen not quite as glitzy as the Sansa, and I have to use a stylus - but am getting used to it; Touchscreen is taking some getting used to because of this. Runs out of power a little quicker than Sansa, takes a bit longer to recharge; Manual is a bit too simple, so obviously written by someone who isn't native English speaker that it's cute. That's about it! will do another review if something fails in the next year- Aug 2009 is purchase date. |
Fabulous little MP3 player

| I bought this player for my 14 yr old daughter. She was determined to get an I-Pod, except that it was completely out of my budget. I found this, and decided to give it a shot. She is happy as a clam, thinks it's better than an I-Pod, and all her friends think so as well. She LOVES that it takes pictures and videos. Loading music onto the thing is a breeze, and the radio works wonderfully. It gets more stations in clearer than our car does. Now, the wife wants one too. My daughter is never without this thing. It goes for days without needing to be re-charged, hasn't broken yet, and my daughter is not the most delicate with electronics. A+! |
Very Happy with product

| I ordered this touch screen for my 17 yr old son, he asked for a touch screen I Pod, but they were too expensive, so I thought I would try this. My son was pleased with this product. I recieved it 2 days after I ordered it and that was without any extra shipping. You know the saying you pay for what you get..I feel like we got more than we paid for...have a great day. |
