Author's Review

I bought two of these about a year ago. Replaced the earbuds with headphones and music sounds great.

However, both devices have been plagued with lockup problems. The device will play music fine, but the display "locks up" on an image and all you can do is wait. Sometimes, it can be two minutes before the display "unlocks". Meanwhile, you cannot pause, skip to next song or adjust the volume. When it does unlock, it remembers all your steps and proceeds through them. Very frustrating.

I have formatted the drives, reloaded the music and updated the software in a futile attempt to end this problem. Since it is in both devices, I can only conclude that it is a manufacturer's flaw. If it is something I did wrong I would love to know what it is.

I cannot recommend this device.

UPDATE: I found my problem. It is true, the device will play MP3 and WMA formats. However, you cannot have them both on the device at the same time. I deleted all my MP3 files (about 25% of my songs) and replace them with WMA. The lockups quit.

Based on this, now I would recommend this device.
