I bought this little MP3 player for my brother for Christmas and absolutely love it. For only twenty dollars it is a great gift for a wise range of people. You can load the music with Windows media player and it does not take batteries. When it is fully charged, I believe he got about three or four hours out of it and I know there are almost two hundred songs on it and it isn't full yet. It has a small LCD screen that tells you what song is playing and the light changes colour. Although that isn't a large feature it can be very entertaining if purchasing this product for a younger child. If you are looking for a cheap gift that is worth every penny and the person can genuinely use, take a trip to the electronics department at Wal Mart and check out their MP3 players, it really is worth it.
