This is an example of how China is laughing at us. I have eaten potato chips that are sturdier than thisthing. It did not work out of the package and all the instuctions are written in Chinese. I really hope Amazondoes not let many products such as this one be part of their portfolio.

The instructions are entirely in Chinese so I am entirely guessing at how to use it. It seems like the battery life is best measured in minutes rather than in hours; but I might be recharging it totally wrongly (it recharges by plugging into a USB port; its included interface is a link between its earphone port and a USB?!?).It acts like a thumb drive that plays music. It's sound quality seems slightly below average but I am a very poor judge of sound quality.It plays. It has controls for on/off, volume, and jump forward or back in track order (which is just where the files are on the thumb drive file system).And it is smaller than the picture imply so... for hardly any money at all, you get an MP3 player you can load easily and use at the gym.And if it is lost.... personally, I would not care.
