THIS WORKS WELL IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THE PLAY LIST IN THE ORDER IT WAS STORED. HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO FIND ONE PARTICULAR SONG YOU HAVE TO SKIP EVERY SONG AHEAD OF IT, ONE BY ONE.
Rating: 4 of 5 Nice product, but could be improved upon.
I purchased the Princess Forever & Tinkerbell Sassy Pixie 4 my daughters 4 Christmas. I haven't given them 2 them yet but have tested them. There are pros & cons......
Pro: ADORABLE! The girls will love them. The sound quality is good & the price is very reasonable at just under $50. I like how the controls are set up. My MP3 buttons are easy 2 accidently push while you are listening. The design seems very durable & small enough 4 tiny hands, yet stylish enough 4 an adult. Lanyard included 2 wear around their neck. NO BATTERIES! I can only imagine how much I would be spending on batteries so I was happy 2 see it was recharable. I was also able 2 just plug it into my laptop & transfer music straight over from itunes without installing additional software. The transfer time was normal. There is also a slot 2 expand memory or purchased seperatly music on memory cards! This is a big plus!
Cons: NO BATTERIES! This is also a con because if you are on a long trip & do not have a computer 2 charge it then you will have 2 have the optional jam stand or they are out of luck. It recharges by hooking 2 your USB port, & the instructions say it can take up 2 4 hours 2 charge 4 just 8 hours of playtime. I wish they had a back up slot 4 a AAA battery. Also, there is no digital display, which is standard on even the cheapest MP3s. It held about 30 songs but as stated above, you can expand the memory very cheaply.
Overall, I LOVE it! I purchased matching pillow speaker seperately 4 each one so they can lay in bed & listen 2 their music & I know they will love it! If I didn't have a MP3 already, I would get the chrome mickey one 4 myself.
