The Negative reviewers are wrong!

+ it was nice, and then it wasn't
+ Programs not clear

This is quite possibly the coolest mp3 player out. How it is true I haven't tried all the new players out lately I remembered this one that I used to have and boy do I miss it. Touch scroll is nice, Glowing Blue lights adds to the nice coolness factor. Not super tiny but is not clunky by any means. ...

This is clear as can be, and all you have to do is put the tape in the tape player and plug it up to your mp3 player, etc. I'm very happy with this ...
