I found this mp3 player on sale for $50 at a local store and thought what a great deal. I only had it for a week and the screen went blank so you couldn't see any of the buttns. The battery didn't last as long as I had wished and there was no way of organizing the songs on the player. It put them in folders by artist and in the order you uploaded them. So they were hard to find since they weren't in alphabetical order. I played it on random mode but it always seemed to play the first few folders all the time
Very Much A Budget Player

I got this for my wife as a small gift. She wanted something with a bigger screen than her Sansa to watch her videos on. I think we paid maybe $50-$60 for it at the time. The unit is decent, but very obviously a budget device.

First the good stuff. The screen is big and easy to see and the touch screen is pretty cool on something so inexpensive. The player uses a standard mini-USB connector so I can charge the device for her with the same chord I use for my PDA and my MP3 player. I also really liked the included software. While it's not as user friendly as the software that came with her SanDisk Sansa Fuze, it has almost never choked on a video file. The Sansa software was big, cumbersome, and often failed halfway through a conversion. The Sylvania software has failed on a total of two weirdly compressed files off the Internet. It can convert most MPG and AVI files without issue.

Now the bad. The touch screen is nice, but often unresponsive. You'll sometimes have to tap a spot repeatedly to get a reaction or push down really hard. Menu items are sometimes not clear, but you can usually work your way through finding things. The overall construction of the device feels a little flimsy, but isn't horrible. The worst thing though is the battery life. Brand new the thing maybe gets 2 hours of run time before it goes dead. The battery recharge takes hours. That's really just not good enough for something with a built in battery. The less capacity, the more charges, and the sooner the battery dies. I personally couldn't take that charge length, but my wife uses it lightly so she can tolerate it.

I'd suggest this if you have kids who want to feel kind of like they have an iPod Touch, but where you think they'll break one of those or just plain don't have the money to spend. If you want a top of the line player with the features this one has, you'll be paying more for it.

Reviewer: Elizabeth B., Fort Worth, Texas USA
The on/off button on my unit broke off after about 3 months of normal usage so I don't think it was made all that well. Further, the mp3 decoder isn't so great, either, as the unit had a tendency to cut off the first bit of each song. The controls are difficult to see in daylight so this can make choosing songs or even forwarding through songs difficult. The rechargeable battery didn't hold much of a charge - maybe four hours worth of listening.

On the other hand, the video quality of the videos is surprisingly nice.

Overall, however, I'd have to NOT recommend this product. I'm currently using Coby MP300-1G MP3 Player with 1 GB Flash Memory, USB Drive and LCD - Black which I purchased for an extremely low price at Walgreens and it beats the pants off this Sylvania unit.
