BUYER BEWARE - Product Died
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 16, 2004After 2 months of normal use, this product died. Nothing turned on anymore and wasn't even recognized in the USB plug. When it worked, it's volume was low, sound quality poor and cheaply designed. Do not waste your money on this junky product.
Good features, lacks a little in the firmware.
(4 out of 5) by Collin Campbell on May 29, 2003 (Waldorf, MD United States)I am completely satisfied in its abilities to act as an mp3 player, usb flash drive, and voice recorder. No doubt, it's the best of its kind; it beats the Creative Muvo handily with an actual screen and equalizer settings. However, there are a few things about it that bug me.
1 - It always starts from the first track when it turns on, not from where it left off when it last turned off (as I've come to expect from my portable audio devices).
2 - It automatically turns itself off after 30 seconds of inactivity. This means that if you pause a song for more than 30 seconds, you get to start all the way back at the first song when you come back to it. Inactivity shutoff should be a user customizable variable, or the player should simply pick up where it left off when you turn it on.

I listen to music in the car or while doing an activity, so I listen to music in 20 minute bursts or less, and with the Cendyne Gruvstick I end up listening to the same songs over and over. These aren't complex problems, and they can be fixed with a simple firmware upgrade (of which there are none on the Cendyne website). I hesitatingly recommend the Gruvstick because it is small, neat, and functions well. If Cendyne would only update its firmware, I'd be recommending it to everyone I know.
