Just got this for birthday. A few things I'd like to share with.
The firmware it comes with is very basic and I got a little dissapointed at first. DO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE at the first opportunity because of the following reasons. Number one: if you turn the player off and on again it will play the last track you listened to from very beginning, NOT where you left off. This is a huge inconvenience for adudio books listeners. Number two: fast forward/rewind is quite slow. It took a few minutes to get back to the point in the audio book file where I left off.
Number three: the original firmware did not support folders function, I was not able to categorize or sort my files into different folders in the memory. THE LATEST FIRMWARE DOWNLOADED OFF WWW.MPIO.COM FIXED ALL OF THE ABOVE. That I was very pleased to discover. The only down side of the new firmware is that it has reduced display contrast and I know of no way to increase it. All on-display information now is very bleak and difficult to read unless you touch any of the controls (buttons) and thus activate the display's back-light. A minor thing for me, but some folks may be quite irritaded by this. The software, MPIO manager, that comes with the unit is also outdated. Don't bother installing it. Download MPIO manager 2 off the same site. The new manager supports folder function as well as firmware upgrades. In fact, come to think of it, you won't be able to upgrade the firmware unless you use the newer MPIO manager. Otherwise it's a great player. I like it. Price is good. Sound is good. Construction is sturdy and appealing.

This is a discontinued item that now sells at a fraction of its original cost. I've had it for about a month and couldn't be more pleased. With a Viking smart memory card, it holds about 75 songs. The sound quality with the provided earbuds is first rate. The construction is solid and I have no problem with reading the LCD. Although the MPIO website is close to worthless, their 800# service center (once you get through) is very helpful. Highly recommended.
Comment: small display Rating:
the frame is kind of robust.
Sound is OK.
However, small lcd does not give me enough info at a glance.
