Awesome replacement for Shuffle

Pros: 4 Line Display, Playlists, FM Tuner, USB Plug built-in, Micro-SD Expansion, No extra software to transfer music

Cons: Seems a little glitchy

I sold my old shuffle for 40 bucks to a guy at work, and bought this for 53 bucks. Definitely an upgrade. From the fact that it has a screen, to an FM Tuner to the MicroSD slot, this is an awesome little player. I love the fact that it has an FM t...uner because sometimes i get really bored of listening to all the music I know every word to. Also, it has a MicroSD slot so you can upgrade the 1GB to a 3GB player, and the 2GB to a 4GB player for the price of a MicroSD card (about 23 bucks for a 2GB I've seen). Finally, the best thing of all is that it's built like the shuffle to where you can plug it straight into a USB plug, yet it doesn't need any extra software to transfer music at all. (Also the music transfers like 10x as fast as ITunes for some reason) You can drag and drop from windows straight onto the memory. Also, the fact that it has a built in USB plug means that you can directly store files so it doubles as your own personal flash drive for school papers to print, or whathaveyou. The only problem I've ever had with it is that the first MP3 I played completely crashed the unit to the point of where I had to hardware reset it. This wasn't a big problem considering I know why it happened. I had a file I had converted from WMA to MP3 and the converter left the .wma and appended the MP3 at the end making it filename.WMA.MP3 and I assume it tried to read it as a WMA. Other than that this is way better than an Apple IPod Shuffle in my opinion, and I would recommend this to anybody looking for all of these features in an MP3 player like I was.
