 Could be sold a little cheaper. July 25, 2008
I purchased this product to do some lap swimming at my wellness center and have the ability to listen to some music while doing so. The device is easy enough to load your mp3's onto with the included software. The sound quality is mediocre at best which is the fault of the poor quality of the ear buds. The ear buds are often difficult to keep in your ears at all times as they tend to slide out of your ear during quick underwater movement. I have a slight problem with the price of this device considering its small size and the fact that it is basically a USB flash drive inside of a water tight container.
Final Word:
This waterproof mp3 player is probably a better bet in its price range than other models from other companies, so if you don't need perfect quality sound then this is the player for you!
 Don't waste your money April 2, 2008

I was excited by the positive reviews of this product, and immediately loaded music in WMA format on it when I received it. The instruction manual appears to have been written by someone who is not proficient in English, and it doesn't tell you how to load music until the last page. Most of the manual is spent telling you how to load software onto Windows 98 (I have an XP computer). After I finally was able to fill the drive with music, I put a battery in, and nothing happened. The light came on and would not power off unless I took the battery out. Music would not play when the play button was pressed. I re-checked to make sure I hadn't made a mistake and not successfully loaded my music, but it was all there. The device is defective, and I'm going to try to get my money back, but the return policy from the seller makes it seem like they'll even charge a restocking fee for this defective device. Don't waste your money or valuable time on this.

The mini cd doesn't fit into cd drive so I couldn't test loading the drivers. I got it to work exactly once with my MacIntosh and iTunes converted to mp3 files. After that...nothing... Very disappointed.
Great Product, larger than expected March 25, 2008

I was suprised by the size of the mp3 player and case combination when it arrived, however i've used it twice in the few weeks that i've had it and it works great. I use it for lap swimming, and I always enter the pool by diving in, and have no problems. I also use it for water aerobics (sp?).
I know I haven't had it very long, but so far it's a wonderful product and keeps me much more entertained than swiming laps alone.
Great value for the price. March 12, 2008

I was dubious but when it went on sale at Amazon for $44, I thought what the heck. I'm a lap swimmer, and there are a couple of setup tricks that will help.
1. Forget the armband, the wires are constantly getting in the way and the band is just a distraction. Forget doing a butterfly stroke with this puppy strapped like a torpedo to your arm.
2. Clip it to the back of your suit or get a swim belt.
3. Tuck the heaphone wire through your google strap to keep the headphones in place.
3. Push the headphones into the ear canal to get a water tight seal. If you have large ear canals and the earplugs insert too far, clip a piece of the end.
Getting songs onto the player couldn't be simpler. I use Linux, and Window$ computers. Just plug the player into the USB port and drag/drop your mp3 folders. The player is USB 2.0 compliant so transfer is relatively fast.
As noted in other reviews, it has limited operation features. One thing was a pleasant surprise to me, it defaults to shuffle play.
Headphone wires are thin, so try your best to protect them. Vigorous strokes and flip turns should probably be avoided.
The music is surprisingly easy to hear and made the workout 10X more enjoyable.
