Great little MP3 player

First, I'm not really sure why eBay separated these players by color. There is no difference between any of the colors. The same basic player is available with 512meg, 1gig or 2gig of memory, and will support the two most common types of file formats for playback - MP3 and WMA (also WMA with DRM). My 1gig holds about 250 songs. The nicest thing about this player is the fact that it needs NO software or drivers for Windows 2000/XP, and 98 users just need the drivers. When plugged in, the computer simply sees the player as another drive, not a device. You can use the player just like a thumb drive or floppy disc (remember those things?)
The player itself seems very rugged for it's small size - less than 1 inch cube! I've bumped mine around a bit and I haven't even managed to scratch the cool little screen yet. With a bit of care this thing should last for years.
There are certainly better earbuds and headphones available as far as sound quality, but the ones that come with this unit are fairly good. The headphones are also the antenna for the radio, and for whatever reason the included earbuds pull in stations much better than anything else I've tried. Also, they double as a neck strap so you can just wear the player on your chest.
The good: It is very small and well built. 10 hour life on the built in rechargeable battery. FM tuner that really works. MP3 & WMA support. It has a real equalizer to adjust the sound. It doubles as a thumb drive to transfer ANY type of files from computer to computer. Surprisingly bright and readable screen. Can record from the radio. Plus it is cheaper than an iPud.
The bad: It is small enough to loose easily, and children could choke on it. I'm not sure if the built in battery is replaceable, but you aren't going to do it yourself. iPud users will be jealous and hate you for having it.
