 NOT MAC FRIENDLY August 26, 2008
I guess in China, they have never heard of Macintosh (They only build them), because this product does not work with a Mac. I imagine after spending more money on really sophisticated video converters might help. The disc that they give you with the install/video converter is a 3Inch disc that will not work on any side loaded iMac, which is pretty much all of them, and it wouldn't work anyway because they are exe. files, which Mac's don't read. When I did get a video to work, it was after trying over a dozen files. The player is very picky about what files it decides it will like.
The interface takes a bit getting used to as well, but at least it looks really good. However, not good enough to waist your time.
 Has Earned its Reputation! July 6, 2008
I researched this player for months before finally making the purchase just a week and a half ago. In fact, I loved it so much, I bought another one just a week later. I got two 8gb Dane Elec M6 SL players from Ega (Ebay), one for under $80.00 the other for under $[...] in two seperate bids. Some people are still trying to get at much as $[...] for the 8 gb version.
Just so you know, the Dane Elec and Meizu products are the same. Meizu uses Dane Elec to sell their products in the US for liscensing reasons. When you need to update firmware or get help, you need to use the Meizu site. I suggest you also use the [...] forums as well as mp4nation.net.
Do not expect this thing to be too great on videos. It only plays at 20fps, but the videos do look sharp. You might have sync problems with some. You need to convert the videos to avi files. But you do not buy this for videos, you buy it for unsurpassed audio quality! It even sounds great with the stock headphones, which I changed only because they were too big for my tiny ears and I generally do not like in ear phones. I replaced them with a pair of sennheiser px 100s and get this, I read a review on the meizume website about a $[...] pair of in ear phones called Kanon MD 52. Supposedly, they would sound at least as good as all of the high end brands. For $10.00 I had to give them a try... and let me tell you, I use them more than the Sennheisers and have to keep the volume down because it seems like these things tripple the volume output without distortion!
I put over 1363 songs, 3 videos, one text file, and about 8 pics on it before the Miniplayer became full. Pics are beautiful. Text font is small, I have not seen an option to change this. Album art CAN be added to this player. The touch pad is very sensitive and takes getting used to. You add files to the Miniplayer by simply dropping them in their respective folders! There is a 10 band user defined equalizer as well as a spatializer and some other special sound effects options like Virtual 3D, but you will need all of that!
One of my favorite features is the sleep mode. The player will turn itself off at a predetermined time. Oh to avoid confusion, just know that if you plug the player into your comp. while it is on, it shows up as a drive, and that is when you can add files. To charge it, plug the player into the comp. when it is off. The radio is crystal clear and does an auto scan to find the best setting. It has a voice recorder, and if I am not mistaken you can also record the radio. For me the only drawback so far is that when you turn it on (remember to hold the on button for about 3 seconds) it updates the music library almost every time even if you have not made changes. This takes a while when you have a lot of files. Also, mine just will not keep the correct time.
The major differences between the M6 and the M6 SL is that the SL is slimmer of course and has a wolfson audion chip that is supposed to enhance the sound. Some people with both playrs say that the sound on the M6 is still actually slightly better and the screen is better as well. As someone who has the SL version, I cannot imagine that this little thing can have even better audio quality. Some say the SL has a shorter battery life, which is about 20 hours for music.
This is a great player! If you are thinking about getting one, but are not sure, do what I did, which was go to the forums and ask a lot of questions. Look for deals as well. Since Meizu is about to drop a new player, the price of the M6 and the M6 SL should drop over the next couple of months.
In some reviews, people have said that this is the size of a credit card. I was very happy to find out that it is not even that big! I would not pay more than $[...] for a 4gb and $[...] for an 8 gb although, the player is truly worth more!
 Touch Pad Stuck March 22, 2008
I just received the player in the mail today. I went to turn it on, and the clicking sound you get while scrolling just started going on its own. It would NEVER stop scrolling. I formatted/updated about 3 times, no help there. I also checked google and meizume along with all of the other forums, and they said it was a hardware defect.
Much Better than the Zune February 25, 2008

I bought this about six months ago and had mixed feelings about until I actually read the instruction manual and learned how to overcome its slight flaws. The sound quality is great, the overall quality is fine. The video quality is great. It's quite user-friendly and moving music files is as simple as click and drag. It's a great size and is easy to carry in the tiniest of pockets. The video conversion software is a snap.
It does have a couple of slight flaws, though. It seems to get confused easily if I'm at all inaccurate while scrolling and accidentally touch multiple buttons and it locks up. It's easy to remedy by holding the enter button, which resets it. Also, if you use Windows Explorer to delete files, it doesn't rewrite the file allocation. If you fill it up, then use Windows Explorer to delete the files, it still thinks its full, even though the files aren't there whether you look in explorer or the Meizu's intergral browser. Also, the accessories on the Dana-Elec website are all 'Available Soon'. I've been checking since I bought this thing and 'soon' doesn't seem to have come yet.
I highly recommend the Meizu, mostly because I recently purchased a Zune, which greatly annoyed me the first day I bought it. The Meizu is plug-and-play right out of the box. It even came fully charged and with a couple of sample videos and some music already installed. After buying the Zune, and paying a considerable amount, I still had to download the software, which I am unable to do because I'm in Iraq and our internet connection won't allow the transfer of the 33mb software program. The only software you need for the Meizu is the video conversion. When I pay hundreds of dollars for a product, I ought to be able to pull it out of the box and use it right away. Not so with the Zune, which is useless for people without internet. The Meizu isn't as capacious, but it's still 100% better. I own the 4gb now. I'm going to return my piece of garbage Zune and upgrade to the 8gb Meizu.
Would not even turn on October 4, 2007

Absolutely the worst digital product I have ever owned. It never even turned on, only the screen would flash. I plugged it into the computer and nothing happened. I wish I would have read the forums before I got this because many are complaining of this problem and the "forum admins" are helpless: "Just try again.."
I've owned Apple, Sony, Sandisk and Creative players and they all worked! I will avoid all Meizu products because of this experience.
