 Excellent toy December 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Frankly speaking, I am fan of Creative. I bought this player from Toshiba out of curiosity... and because it was on sell ;-). I am really impressed by the quality of this tiny Toshiba player. The body is metallic and gives the feeling of long lasting. Battery life is remarkable - 20hours for audio compared side by side with 15 hours of ZENV. Boot up time is also very short - around 1 second (much shorter than the 4...5 seconds for ZEN V). On the "dark side", Gigabeat has less features and options but nothing that I cannot live without.
Regarding the comment of our friend HappyBruin, I agree with him regarding the obnoxiousness of the iPod software (this being one reason for which I would never buy one)... But that is not the case of the Toshiba player. You don't need any software to use it - Windows will see it as a storage device - as simple as that! I am sure that he would delete his comments now if they would not be the property of Amazon.com; perhaps next time he will do his homework before writing such negative comments about a more than decent product...
Bottom line, the Toshiba player is a very nice designed and engineered player and I warmly recommend it (I bought it for $50 - FYI).
Wish it had better video display for album covers and text December 28, 2007

This is my second gigabeat (already own an S-60)and is used primarily by my wife.
Small - easy to use, reliable, and tremendous battery life. I only dislike the cheesy graphics for the albums and that fact that the text scrolls when the track name is anything more than about 15 characters long.
My wife loves it - and it is compatible with both Rhapsody and Napster (we like the subscription programs because we download hundered of different songs a month and rarely like anything enough to buy them.)
We will probably buy another for the kids.
Excellent Gift Idea November 28, 2007

I bought this MP3 player as a gift for my girlfriend who's mp3 player no longer worked. Before I gave it to her, however, I loaded it with music I thought she would like, and tried it out to make sure it was good. The sound quality was extraordinary, and the picture was great. I don't recommend it for the pictures, however, but it fits a good amount of music on it, and it sounds great.
For the $50 dollars I spent on it, you can't go wrong... well worth it's value!
Easy to use November 21, 2007

This is a replacement for one that was a little over a year old. I like this one so much better. It has excellent features and is very user friendly. I highly recommend this item!
Works in Windows Explorer November 14, 2007

Just to clear things up for folks -- I did a drag & drop of a music folder onto the Gigabeat via Windows Explorer. No worries, works fine.
