 more notes on the rave mp December 21, 2005
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I agree with what everyone has had to say about this device. It's cheap, and you get what you pay for. My biggest complaint was the complete un-randomness of the shuffle feature. It played the same five songs all the time, in the same order, while ignoring hundreds of others.
and of course, I eventually got the sad face/ bug icon, and the player was dead.
but a few weeks later I tried plugging it into the USB in my computer, and it came back to life, and has been working fine ever since. Anyone else have this experience?
 Good product so far. December 16, 2005

After reading these reviews I'm scared mine will start acting up?? I've had the first one for over a year now with no problems. I bought a second one for myself,(Mrs. has the first one)and I will admit, I had been using it for about two hours when I got the sad face/bug. I called Rave in Scottsdale, AZ. The Tech Support was good. They told me to return it since the battery was bad. I did and two weeks later, maybe three, there on my door step was a new player. All I sent them was the old device, nothing else. Rave sent me the whole works. Headphones, earphones, armstrap, etc. So far it's been working good! I even purchased another one as a gift. You have to let this thing charge up for 24 hours before using it, otherwise the battery will go bad and well...that's it. I use mine for running and yardwork. All outside stuff so it gets a little beating but not too bad. The arm band is comfortable and stays put when I run, that's a plus. The headphones sound nice. So far so good? Everyone knock on wood for me, thanks!! Good Luck. Oh, I paid $99.00 for each of them at the military exchanges/stores.
 I am not alone Buffalo, New York December 13, 2005
I made this purchase based on price. $100.00,2.5 gig,nice headphones what a deal.Worked great until I wanted to update my library. Songs would skip,the player would freeze up,until I reset it.While sinking music to the device my computer would freeze up,showing a mesage,delayed write failed unknown error.
When I called for tech support they said to reformat the player and sent me on my way. This did not work.I feel ripped off.I hope this review stops at least one person from making a purchase they are sure to regret.

I had gotten this mp3 player at the beginning of the summer. I had enough of carry my cds and cd player around. I searched the net and found this player. It was a good price but dont be fooled. You can do a lot better. As they say, "You get what you pay for," and thats exactly what I got. But it did come with some sweet comfortable headphones and earbuds. The player had some great features but it was slow. The more music you put on it, the slower it runs. After a few months, the buttons began to stick and become slow. Not very reliable. Like many other people who bought the product, I eventually got a sad face and a bug on the screen. I tried recording something and then when the player went to save it, it froze and showed the sad face. I would not recommend this player to anyone out there. Sorry but keep looking. There are so many other players out there and this one just is not the one.

I've heard tons of people rave about their Ipod's. If only they had waited. This mp3 packs more memory and comes with all the necessary tools (carrying case, charger, 100 free downloads, two sets of headphones). Although I was discouraged originally by some reviews I realized that some of their gripes aren't a big deal, so its based on the individual purchaser. The battery power could be a little strong but, its never conked out on me so I can't complain about that either. I'll come back in a month if things go from bad to worst to update you ... I hope I won't have too.
