Pros: None, OK, it's cheap

Cons: Terrible: menu interface, EQ, sound quality, video quality. Pain to have to convert video files. Attracts fingerprints.

Never in my life would I purchase one of these. I was helping a friend with one she just bought and it's a pain to use.

In order to play movies/videos, the files MUST be converted to MTV format. The program says it will convert avi, mpg, etc. files, however, out of the 20 avi's I needed to convert, only one "fit the standard". Out of the 16 or so "movie files" I had, only 2 were converted. And the quality was very poor. No matter which function & quality I converted the files too, the screen skipped. Would eventually give you a seizure.

My next beef is the filthiness of the unit. Shows every finger print, the screen gets smeared in oils from your hands VERY easily, and I was constantly wiping it. The touchpads are not the easiest to use, and was constantly tapping the menu button to "attempt" to get back to the main menu. It was easier to shut the darn thing off and start it up again.

"Help" files are a disgrace, especially the help for the MTV converter. It merely shows a jpeg of the program and just a few lines describing it. How is this a help file? No description about the different quality & sound levels, what files can and cannot be converted, or why a standard avi file is deemed "invalid" when avi is a supported file for conversion.

My own personal MP3 player is far superior, does NOT show fingerprints, menus are VERY easy to access and transferring files is a breeze compared to this unit. This belongs in the garage. ...
