It certainly isn't the best, but it's not the worst. If you only have $50 to spend, then it is very good.
What I like is the control are easy to operate and understand. The headphone jack is in a good place, and if you have had one of the awkward ones, then you know what I mean - You can hold this one and operate it with the headphone plugged in. Some are hard to operate after you plug in the headphone cuz it is to near the controls. This one is good.
Controls are: Power On/Off button, Volume UP button, Volume DOWN button, and a multi-function wheel. The wheel flicks up or down to move between songs. If you push down on it, you go into the menu. I won't get into the menu cuz I never use it much, but you can adjust the equalizer ( you don;t always get that for $50, and you can select different music folders. You can organizer your tunes into these music folders rather than have them all in one big root folder, but you can still do that if you want to.
What I don't like is, when using the wheel to move to the next song, you must be VERY careful cuz it is sensitive, and you may actually go into the menu system rather than go to the next or previous song as desired.
Also the battery door slides off to let you install a single AAA battery, although when you plug the USB into your PC, you can load up songs without a battery inside. But the problem is the door is so tiny and made from brittle plastic, I just KNOW this is going to break before long. so be VERY careful when removing and installing the battery cover. If it does break, I got duct tape.
The other thing I don't like is the display and font are TINY. I mean SMALL people, you need a freakin' microscope to see this thing. Hey Creative Labs, come on and fix that will ya, there's room on this for a larger display!
All in all, it does work as advertised and it's better than the last one I had in the $50-range.
