Worth every penny.......2007-05-29
This is indeed a neat little contraption. As cheap as it is, I have found it to be very reliable, and the battery life unbelievable. I do have the same problems as the last reviewer though; it sorts the songs in some sort of pseudo-alphabetical order (I believe it does it by actual filename, not the mp3 tag that displays on itunes and windows media). It is also annoying to search through songs (it is faster to stop playback and then sort that way). However, because you are not storing 1000 songs on this thing, it isn't too much of a problem.
Aside from this, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. It seems very durable/reliable, has very long battery life on only one AAA. It has great aesthetics and is also very small and lightweight. Most importantly, at least in IMO, the sound quality is great, partially due to the fact that it has a CUSTOM EQ. I have never cared for any eq presets that are included on any mp3 player (iPod included). In a nutshell, if you want topnotch mp3 playback but don't need 1000 songs on a device, get this.
Good Entry-Level MP3 by RCA.......2006-12-04
I picked up one of these today after noticing that it was on sale at Shopko for a little over thirty dollars. As someone who has most of his music on vinyl or CD, I don't have a need for a system that holds umpty-thousand songs. I tend to listen to an album for a few weeks and then start something else, rotating my collection. This little MP3 player holds about 130 songs. I have about 70 on mine and that's perfect. In a month or so, I'll dump them and put some new ones on.
Upon opening, I noted that RCA had forgotten to package the wrist strap with it. I don't really care, as I wouldn't use it, but that's not very good quality control.
This system is easy to use. It runs off Yahoo Music software. I downloaded all I needed from multiple albums in about a half hour with no experience using one of these. The sound is very good, and can be adjusted for different types of music using the equalizer function.
As it is a low-end model, it does no allow you to scroll by album and then song. You have to fast-forward through your whole collection to find the song you want to hear. Also, songs did not download in order by album but ended up mixed together. Not what I wanted, but kind of nice to not know what's coming up next. Good display with name of band, album and song.
Uses one AAA battery. Supposed to play about ten hours on one battery. Very small, easily fits into a shirt pocket.
Worth every penny of the thirty-four bucks I paid. Nowhere near as great as an iPod but nowhere near as expensive. I find the sound to be equal of the iPod, just not the ease of use.
UPDATE: With the lowering prices of Sansas and other systems, this system is much less competitive than it was when I initially wrote this review.

Misleading Specs.......2006-10-28
1) I bought this item believing that it had an FM transmitter ... it does not!! RCA says they don't even make an MP3 player with a built in transmitter. It has an FM tuner and 20 presets but it does not stream FM to a nearby radio. Amazon needs to check with RCA and get the specs straight. I think RCA changed their ad on this item after I bought it.
2) Another feature I relied on doesn't exist. RCA says it will record FM in mp3 or wave format. It records only in wave. You have to copy to your PC and then convert the wave to mp3.
3) I found that songs on the player will not play directly through your PC. You have to copy them onto the PC and play using a media player.
Nevertheless, I will keep the unit. It records FM radio; voice records with a built in mic and In Line records from an attached source with good quality (all in wave format, however). It sounds great through the included earbuds and is fairly easy to use.
Amazon shipped in a timely manner and their support people were considerate, helpful and willing to either exchange for another or mark for a full refund if returned.

very inexpensive and good MP3.......2007-11-02
This Mp3 has has very good sound qualtiy one thing that got me mad was that it tells in the cover it can hold over 100 songs but it actually depends on the quality of the song. if you want all your songs max quality it only gonna hold about 58 songs.Overall the sound is excellent,(I cant really tell difrrence between sound quality of Ipod and this Mp3).

Not bad for the money.......2007-03-05
This is a pretty good music player, although I already regret not getting one with a higher capacity. The sound quality is good, but I guess all MP3 players sound pretty much the same. This one has more features than the iPod shuffle, such as a display and a radio. I can't imagine having a player without some kind of display to let you see what you're listening to. I've had some trouble with it not responding when I push the play button, but I figured out I have to push and let it go quickly. This device is compatible with Napster. I subscribed to Napster, and for a three month commitment they sent me another 512 meg player for free (not the same model). I like the one Napster sent me better. It operates smoothly and reliably, and it's easier to understand.
