This review is from: BLACK LCD CLIP 4GB MP3 FLASH MEMORY PLAYER (Electronics)
i have an ipod but wanted something to put meditation tracks on and didn’t want to spend much money. when it arrived i couldn’t believe how tiny it was for a 4gb player.i expected it to be a crappy little thing especially when i saw the cheap looking non-instruction leaflet.(just a slip of paper)but i was really pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and the sound quality is brilliant. i admit i used my own good quality headphones so cant comment on the quality of the ones supplied but i am over the moon with it.for a tenner it is a brilliant buy wether for children or adults. my ipod is sooooo unpredictable at times i can see me using this more and it can be clipped on anywhere…it’s so cute,dont be put off by the cheapness as it really is a great little player.

My Ipod recently died on me so I needed something basic for use everyday, particularly when travelling on the train. I was very pleased with the product when it arrived. It does pretty much everything you need, yes the screen is small and the functions are limited but the quality and sound of the product is good, particularly for the money. However, the life of the battery is its downfall. I charged it to go on a train journey and within 1 hrs the battery level dropped considerably and eventually it stopped after about 2 hrs. I re-charged it to full capacity but as soon as I turned it on, the level moved.

After reading other reviews, with people sending this product back because it didn’t offer simple functionality, I wanted to write a review to offer some advice. I found it to be a great little product if you have some basic computer knowledge.
For example, after downloading my tunes to it, it kept coming up with “file error”. After checking, it turns out that this product does not support Windows Media Audio (.wma) files. So after finding some free online conversion software (I used ‘Switch Sound File Converter’), and converting those files to .mp3’s, it worked just fine. Note to self: change the settings in the ‘Rip’ options of Windows Media player to ‘Save As MP3’!
The other issue was a lack of decent instructions (the instruction sheet that comes with it is quite funny!), but after tinkering with it, you soon get a feel for which button does what. For example, when the player is not playing and you press the ‘M’ (for menu) button, it brings up yr folder browsing option (so you can check what folders you have, and the files -or songs- in them), and whether you wish to delete any folders or files. During play, pressing the ‘M’ button gives you your equaliser, repeat, replay options, gap time between songs and playback options, like ‘random’ (shuffle). Using the right and left buttons go down the menu, and pressing ‘M’ chooses an option.
The headphones are very basic and do crackle when you manipulate the cord near to the jack input, but for the price, buying a new pair or using some from another player, is fine. As for battery life, I think it depends on how loud you have it and how many songs you play. It takes me to the bus stop, into town, and back, so is just perfect!
