dissappointment...
So if you hadn't heard from earlier, I got a MP3 Player last week. It's the Sandisk Cruzer Mini MP3 Companion. It's used in conjunction with the Cruzer Mini Flash Drive. The drive itself is super cool, because it's about the size of half a stick of gum yet can hold a helluva lot of stuff on it. The one I got has 512mb of space. It's also got a cool blue light on the end that lights up whenever it's in use.
Unfortunately I can't say the same for the MP3 Companion. It got pretty good reviews and was only about $50 so it seemed like a good buy. It was very easy to use and good sized (slightly smaller than a wallet). Those are the only good things I've experienced so far... Battery life is pretty bad, maybe it was just this unit, but I've had to replace the single AAA battery it uses thrice in the past week. (battery life is supposed to be 7-9 hrs, but I've had to replace it after about 4 hours @_@) After the first day, I dunno what happened, but the player randomly deleted all the files off the player. I then had to reformat the drive when I got home and put all the music back on. (luckily a fast process since it utilizes USB 2.0; good stuff) The second time my player crapped over, today, the thing wouldn't even read the flash drive. The files were all still on the flash drive and it still worked with the computer, but it just didn't work in the player. Even called tech support and they said it was defective... GREAT. I just spent my entire afternoon for this damned product and now have to return it and hopefully get a second one. Another strange thing about this one I'm returning was that whenever I tried to toggle through the menu or songs "fast" (skip through multiple songs) it would like gimp over or have a spaz attack and freeze up. I'm really hoping that it's just this one I got... Well anyway, that's that. Back to darned studying for 2 tests on Friday. >_<
