very good all around
(4 out of 5) by W. Lee on Dec 17, 2005 (Oakland, CA USA)I'm very happy with this item after a couple of days of use.
Pros:
* Built in clip.
* Basic button layout is good--my fingers quickly learned the basic functions so I can operate player while clipped to my back pocket.
* Tiny screen (1/2 x 1/4 inch) is suprisingly legible and useful.
* Plays OGG, FM radio.
* Works as mini USB drive.
* Good sound, though I'm no audiophile.
* Can drag and drop music files in Windows file explorer.
Neutral:
* Navigation interface--good, but not great. This is not so important for a 1gb device which doesn't have a ton of content to browse thru. And it's a lot better than a LCD-less iPod shuffle, which is marginally cheaper.
Cons:
* Does not play Audible.
* Too small - makes one-handed navigation not so easy.
* No hold switch, but buttons are pretty well protected by a lip around the player.
* No iTumes support, but this is also a plus. Disclaimer: I am biased against Apple for their "lock-in" strategies and policies. I used iTunes as my desktop player, though.
* Seems to not play nicely with external USB Lacie drive.

Compact and sounds GREAT -- I love it !!
(5 out of 5) by Blapd on Dec 30, 2005 (Birmingham, AL USA)Ok ... I may be biased. This is the first MP3 player I've owned. The last portable music device I bought was back in the 80s ... so I can't help but be ASTOUNDED as to the sound quality of this device. I actually like the earphones that come with it -- they have better base than the $30 Sony's I recently purchased.
The screen is small but displays all the info you need.
I purchased this because I want flexible formats and I didn't want to be locked in to a specific vendors software. The Koreans seem to understand that thus Samsung and Cowon offer you drag and drop via USB just like a jump drive.
I am totally happy with this purchase.
