Perfect for Single-Track Audio Books and Music,
If you want an inexpensive audio book player this is it.
Leave the player on “pause” for about a minute, and it automatically shuts off. When you restart it, it picks up where it stopped.
The player is good when you have just a few files that you want to click through. I lose track of them when I have more than a dozen or so loaded: You have no control over the order in which the items play. But the order does stay the same until you load / remove files.
You can advance from one track to the next, and back up, but the control is a little touchy. I found the volume control especially frustrating, so I bought a volume control at Radio Shack that plugs in between the player and the headphones. Amazon now sells a similar item: Koss VC20 Volume Control
The player recharges quickly (usually around 20 minutes) and has a long battery life (around 6 hours)– probably because there is no display.
Note #1: The player is *much* smaller than described. It is approximately 2 1/2″ high by 1″ wide. (The dimensions given are for the package and all.) It is a tiny thing and its aluminum case is very rugged. You can clip it to your shirt and wear it in the shop or during your workout without worrying about breaking it. At 0.7 oz (20 grams) you won’t even know it’s there.
Note #2: If you want something with a shuffle feature for songs, this is not the player for you.

Great iPod alternative for working out,
After having two iPod Nanos replaced under warranty (I’m currently on my third replacement unit), I’ve determined that I didn’t want to work out with my iPod anymore. I sweat quite a bit when I run, and decided that was what was causing the problems. I was looking for a cheap replacement and decided to give this Sylvania unit a try. At $12.99, I wasn’t expecting too much but have so far been pleasantly surprised. The best thing about this player is that if I damage it while running or accidentally wash it, I can just order a brand new one for the price of a new CD.
The first thing I noticed was how basic the unit is and how easy it is to operate. I opened the package, plugged it in to my computer, and simply drug and dropped a few workout podcasts on to the player. NO folders to deal with, NO drivers to download, and NO software to install…NOTHING. It’s simply a USB drive that can play music. As a technology snob, I almost always believe that “less is more”, and this player is absolute perfection in that respect.
The unit itself seems to be decently built. It’s light but does not feel cheap or flimsy. The buttons are responsive and don’t feel loose. The metal clip on the back is attached pretty tightly, which ensures a secure fit on your clothes. I ran several miles this morning with it clipped to my workout short pocket and it didn’t budge, and it’s light enough that it didn’t flop around too much. I should note that I am using my own pair of workout earphones. The earphones that are included seem sort of cheap but they did sound good enough for casual listening, especially if you plan to use it in a noisy gym.
Based on some other reviews here, it sounds like some of the units have been lemons. So if you order this and it doesn’t live up to what I described, consider returning it as a defective unit. So far this player has been a perfect replacement for an iPod when I work out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

great for the price,
i bought 3 of these, one apiece for the kids and one for my girlfriend. Although it doesnt have all the bells and whistles a pricier mp 3 player has, it is well worth the money. Sound quality is good, easy to load songs on and battery life is excellent.It also has the handy clip on feature. if you are just looking for a simple easy to use mp3 player with a very good sound….this is the one for you.
