4 Stars Not bad
Wanted a product that I wouldn’t have charging/re-charging issues on a long airplane flights (US to S.Africa- 18+hours). This serves the purpose…J\just have to remember to carry replacement battery.

The fact that it’s small is a bonus but this can also be a problem as you need a pocket or something to keep it in since it doesn’t attach.

4 Stars VERY GOOD PRODUCT, VERY GOOD PRICE
This MP3 player you get a good device at a very affordable price. Easy to setup, use and maintain. Don’t expect it, however, to last years. This is my second one and the past one lasted 1 1/2-2 years. But overall, a great cost efficient device to enjoy your music everywhere.

3 Stars Average or minimally good
First the good. I bought this for its recording feature. I don’t care much for the other features, such as photos, MP3 player, etc. I have iPod for that, thank you. For the 2GB capacity, it is more than I care. And that’s good. The simplicity of the recording is excellent, better than I expected. This tops the Sony voice recorder I have that I paid a lot more for than this Sansa. All you need to do when you’re in a recording mode is two buttons. Press the Pause button and the recording is On. If you don’t like what you recorded press the OK button and you’re given a choice to save it or not. That simple. In terms of recorded voice quality, it’s very crisp and clear. No static. I use this to record Bible texts. And I’m happy about it.

Now the bad. With that small screen, photo display is a joke. The battery charge indicator is hardly visible. You hardly see the dashes move indicating the battery is in a charge mode. Another thing, if you can remove the battery cover without destroying the unit, good luck. I still rate this as a worthy product for a simple, high quality voice recorder.

1 Star Piece – O – Junk
I loved it until I started to use it. It doesn’t have a normal filing system, just tags, so all your music gets lost. I guess it’s fine for those guys with just 20 or 30 songs… But I have MUCH more than that! This is just a waste of time. Sure looks nice though, don’t it?

2 Stars it’s ok but I don’t recommend
Two things I don’t like about this player:

- contrast is very bad, couldn’t tell what line is selected.

- Couldn’t get the playlist work.

The plus side is fm radio and recorder but if you don’t need them then get a Sansa Clip instead.

4 Stars Great Value, Works Well
I was skeptical about this wireless FM Transmitter, but it received mostly good reviews and I figured for <$12.00 I was willing to take a chance. I've only had it about a week, but it seems well built and durable. I've only used it with a SD 2 Gb card, but it has far exceeded my expectation. The sound is great and there are more functions than the nearly useless features sheet lists. The control buttons on the device are not the greatest, in that if you press them in the wrong position or for too long, they do unintended things. Like the Play/Pause button: press it on its lower edge too hard and it will change frequencies. The forward/back buttons, if pressed and held for a time will increase or decrease volume, which is an identified feature on the sheet. What the sheet does not tell you that by pressing and holding the pause button the unit will change from sequential playing of songs, as someone in an earlier review pointed out (a tiny A and a directional arrow in a small box at the top center of the display will show when in sequential mode), to random (=shuffle. with an R in the box and bidirectional arrows), to repeating the same song endlessly (with a S and an arrow making a loop). I get the intended result of shifting play modes by pressing and holding the top part of the button. There are also dedicated frequency-change buttons (higher, lower).

I imagine the over-sensitivity of buttons is due to the underlying switches–too many in too small an area. But for the price this is at most a very minor inconvenience. It doesn’t take long to learn the proper touch. I have not used the remote except to test it. It seems sturdy and is very easy to use, and will eliminate any unintended changes from pressing the transmitters buttons in the wrong way.

The LCD screen is small and for older people like me, the features display is so small that I have to hold it very close to read it. For young eyes this probably won’t be a problem, and you can’t expect everything in a small device like this.

I like this unit so much that I’m ordering another for my wife’s car. I use mine both in my vehicle and in my shop. I have a 12-volt multipower unit that will play this transmitter for days before draining the battery.

I gave it only 4 stars because of the sensitivity of the buttons, the non-helpful features sheet (you couldn’t call it an instruction sheet), and because I have used too short a time to determine it durability.

5 Stars Best FM transmitter (has shuffle feature also)
I bought this last month. I am very satisfied with this FM transmitter. Works great for me.

Today I figured that this also has shuffle repeat or all repeat functionality as well. If you press and hold the play/pause button (on the device and not the remote) for few seconds then it will toggle between “shuffle repeat” mode and “repeat all” mode. On LCD display you will see “A” for repeat all mode and “S”) for shuffle mode.

Also if you press and hold on next button for few seconds then it will increase the volume.

Hope this helps. I would definitely recommend this.

2 Stars Is very cheaply made…
The product looks as if it is a good deal on the page, and looks like a good bargain…but, when you get it, it isn’t as good as you thought it’d be. the audio cable that I received began to rip and come apart after 2 weeks of having it. It also isn’t like any audio cable you buy at the store. It is a smaller size, so I can’t even buy a new audio cable in the store. The quality of the sound is about the same as any other fm transmitter. My advice, though, would be to try and find a better one because of how flimsy this device is. Now, don’t say you haven’t been warned!

5 Stars WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND IT EARLIER
We recieved this item just this morning. I personally was anxious to see how it would work in the car. We have a 2000 Toyota Avalon and It was very nice to listen to. VERY VERY IMPRESSED. Now, I’ve always been a music lover and I actually had a system put into my Chrysler. I wish I would have waited. I would suggest this item to anyone, and it is a great christmas present.

5 Stars Perfect!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1UI80TF679M25 I have created a small video for this device. I use this in my Dodge Intrepid ES so far it works great, the remote and the features this device has is really good, but just to let you know you the FM is strong and can transmit to your house own stereo system on the band you choose for in your car!
