1 Great entry MP3 player!!! Bought for my son.
I purchased this for my 9 year old son for Christmas 2004. In making my decision I liked that it played MP3 / WMA formats, that it did take batteries (youngsters don't always plan ahead to recharge those lithium ones), that it had external / expandable memory. I figured worst case scenario, if it did get broken, at least the jump drive could be useful. You can't beat the price for this set of features. It also sounds good (if your not an audiophile) or at least good enough for the gym and car rides. I should know because I've been caught borrowing it many times.
CONS: no wrist strap/armband/clip included. The operating instructions could have been more informative.
OVERALL: Excellent value.
2 Lexar JumpGear/ with 512MB JumpDrive Sport
It's pretty good except my major question is how do you view the bookmarks and why can you only delete them? Is there any way to play them? Well besides that it shows all files even MP3 files in big letters until you play them. Also it has no recording or FM but it's OK.
3 Outstanding, especially for the price
Well, the JumpGear MP3 player for Lexar JumpDrive Sports normally sells for about $35 on its own. Toss in a 128MB JumpDrive Sport for a tad more and this is an outstanding deal.
Depending on uses, you might normally want a USB JumpDrive that's larger in size than 128MB (say 256MB, 512MB, even 1GB), but this is a great way to get started for a great price. (Heck, a 128MB JumpDrive as it is is almost 100x capacity of a floppy disk, and you can't beat JumpDrive Sports when it comes to sturdy USB drives.)
I have no major complaints with the MP3 "add-on" other than that it comes without any form of clip or lanyard -- Lexar separately sells a JumpGear clip-on "wallet" for about $10.
All in all, an outstanding deal for a flexible 128MB mp3 player that's also able to be upgraded in size. If mp3's are transferred at 64 kbps (which is fine and acceptable), you're looking at 4 hours of music on this thing, not to mention being able to use the JumpDrive for files, etc.
I adore my own so far, and consider Lexar the best I've encountered when it comes to USB drives, Compact Flash cards, etc.
Fully recommended as one of the best value deals I've seen in awhile.
