1 love it
The Lyra meets my expectations and more. I bought this becouse I wanted somthing light weight and would'nt skip.
I had a bit of trouble trying to get my computer to recognize the usb, after a few tries I decided to give the cord a firm push into the Lyra and vwala it worked.
The head set is comfy and sounds good.
I like that I can use my SD cards from my camera to store more songs if I want.
2 Less Than Stellar
A recent purchase of this product left my head spinning! For days now I've been attempting to get music to the MP3 player from the web downloaded MusicMatch Jukebox, but without success. The software that accompanied the player is missing critical components, such as any usable plug-in. When attempts to retrieve the plug-in from ANY web site, it's nowhere to be found. Neither MusicMatch nor Windows Media Player can even find the MP3 player at all! Obviously, this is an old player in terms of the electronics industry. The Users Manual leaves something to be desired as well. With letterhead only an ant can read and the fact that it repeats completed installation steps only leaves one wondering if a step was missed. On the brighter side, the sound quality is up there with the best. Overall, if you don't mind premature baldness, get the player. Otherwise, forget it and move on....
3 Not a good option
I bought one, returned it because it didn't work, replaced it, the new one didn't work, so I said forget it.
I did everything the instructions said, but there was no communication from my computer to the player, so after 2 flaws, I have very little trust for this brand.
Save up and get a good one.
4 Great mp3 player
I recently bought this as a replacement for a CD player (which I reccommend as well) The Rio Volt SP90. It lasted three years and I was sad to see it go. Anyway, this is excellant mp3 device with great sound quality and a very good price. The only things I don't like are the fact that you have to manually program a playlist on the Lyra and that the only one that is backlit for this Lyra series is the more expensive version with radio. I would like this to be backlit.
5 128mb MP3 Lyra - just great!
Recently purchased a 128mb Lyra - it's everything it should be -so light, easy to use - ear clips are very comfortable - adequate sound for the price. I use mine out jogging and it fits the bill! The SD card which can be used as an addition to the existing memory, I already have in my camera. I really like that it is just an MP3 (or WMA) player - no extra annoying features that I don't need like radio and file storage. I am glad I bought this. The only negative is that I would like to see a sturdier opening to the battery compartment.
